Fado clubs, Lisbon: 8 reviews and 5 photos
So, Fado is traditional Portuguese music that is supposed to be heartwrenching, passionate, and full of despair.
Except nowadays many Fado restaurants are in it for the business, catering for tourists, hiring medicore singers that lack the passion and then charging exorbitant "minimum consumption" prices. Luckily I had connections, so I got to experience this all for free.
Honestly, do your homework. Find out who the great singers in town are, read the papers, talk to locals, and often times you might be able to catch a free concert somewhere. Those that I experienced were MUCH better than anything I had heard in any restaurant.
Unique Suggestions: get drunk off your mininum consumption
