Name of bar/club
Kiss Club, Albufeira
Style
The biggest nightclub in Albufeira, it has a classic holiday discotheque feel, with a main dance floor and a large mezzanine that encircles it, with several bars spread around the venue.
Ambience
Generally OPENS at 2am and is situated at the end of Albufeira’s main ‘bar street’, so if you want to keep the party going you can dance away the wee hours with chart toppers and the odd classic tune that keeps the podium dancers going. Dress code is casual as you would expect from a holiday resort club.
What & where to drink?
Kiss doesn’t have a particular house speciality, although there is a full drinks menu.
There is a smaller bar on the main dance floor beside the VIP section, a larger bar on the opposite side, and a bar on each of the other floors. It just depends on where you happen to be in the venue.
Why do you like it?
Great atmosphere. Full of holidaymakers who are out to have a good time...and the interaction between the podium dancers, clubbers and DJs make for a lively night out!
What to eat?

Insider knowledge
Look out for promotions staff on the Strip as there are always fliers to be picked up offering free entry into the venue or other promotions that they are running.
Size
Spread over three floors, it holds around 900 revellers.
Location
Rua Vasco da Gama, Areias de São João, 8200-998 Albufeira
Off the main ‘Strip.’ Parking is available but limited behind the venue. To be honest though there are plenty of taxis to ferry you to and from the club if you’re not staying within walking distance, so don’t even attempt to drink and drive.
