About this place Dark by Nude

Dark by Nude is a gay men's cruising bar on Pátio Sá Carneiro, part of the Areias de São João / Montechoro nightlife cluster and run by Albufeira's local Nude Group. Spread over two floors with darkroom-style play areas, it is widely described as the Algarve's only dedicated gay cruising bar, and Google categorises it as a "bar de homossexuais". The mood is late-night and adult-oriented, mixing music with a sociable, uninhibited crowd of locals and visitors. It generally opens around 22:00 into the early hours and is usually closed on Mondays. As with any cruising venue, discretion and respect for other guests are expected.

The Brazilian guy is very nice, but I didn't like the owner's activities. I wouldn't recommend anyone go there, and I wouldn't recommend it for myself.

The only problems were that smokers allowed to smoke inside and not a huge selection of alcohol.
