Late nights and weekends are home to Lisbon’s talented DJ community, featuring expansive musical selections with a focus on rare vinyl, deep listening, and eclectic sounds from around the world.

Our “Very Happy Hour” runs nightly from 9–11 PM to energize the evening, alongside our popular early bird oyster special from 6–8 PM, featuring two oysters for the price of one. Dinner is served Tuesday through Saturday from 6–11 PM.
Every night at Possible World is designed to feel vibrant, welcoming, and full of possibility.
