february how busy

We always come here in February, generally good weather about three-quarters of the days. Agree it isn't likely to be lying on the beach to get a suntan but some days it's pretty close. Bar Street in the Old Town is mostly closed but there a enough bars and restaurants open to avoid starving. There's live music in the evenings in the Square, just not a lot of it, but Tic Tac or Rock Cafe seem to be the busiest. During the day there are enough people around to make it feel busy but once it's dark it can be very quiet. And for all these reasons we come every February! Enjoy your stay too.

Too kind, but we have so many positives in this town it's hard to be critical of the place and the people

Hi Pete. To be honest you would be looking at Old Town nightlife in February as I understand the Strip is mostly closed down. Bar Street is almost all shut for the winter but there is some choice in the square. It really gets quiet in the evenings so it might not be the stag do of your dreams!! Lisbon or Barcelona sounds a livelier option, I would choose there if it were me. Hope this helps, and you get a good do when the time comes.

Thanks for the help. I think j Lisbon. I wanted to choose Portugal over Spain as I feel most people have done Spain as a stag but Portugal will be a new experience for most. Are we going to get lively nightlife in feb still?
