“Super tasty food, definitely recommended for a cheap meal on the strip. I bought chicken wings with fries for €7.50, and they look exactly like the photos in the other reviews. Soft drinks are €2.50, which is also a good price, and you can also order delicious salads for €3.00. Even if you are already full enough from a full plate of one of the main courses.

Definitely recommended if you want to eat cheaply, quickly and deliciously, without it feeling like fast food.“

“I visited on Wednesday 10th July as a place I had saved on my maps while visiting Portugal, and I was happy I did. such a lovely warm welcoming visit and a nice atmosphere to watch the match without all the madness of the strip. I was a solo traveller and felt so comfortable visiting the Yorkshire tavern by my self (felt like my local at home ) they looked after me and so did the other holiday visitors and helped me get a taxi back to my hotel so I did not walk down the mad strip by my self. the local beer was so nice and I enjoyed the company of everyone there while watching the match, like I said felt like home from home. thank you so much for your lovely welcoming and atmosphere, I did truly have a good night. Thank you ?❤️

didn't rate food as only went for drinks“

“Soft Caffe is fantastic, really friendly, great staff, food is lovely & they make a lovely sangria! Food & drink is super value for money. Always welcoming, great place to hang out with friends or as a couple and if you go on your own there's always someone who will chat if you want that. Brill, love it!“

“Great karaoke /bar’ Had an amazing Christmas & New Year.. ??? Thanks a lot Louisa , you make the best Long Island cocktail ? I have ever had…? Cheers Gonzalo, & mates for your company, & all the games of pool.. And thanks to all the staff of the Coyote.. Hope to see you all again soon.. Peter..❤️??“

“I've visited Paulo's Bar numerous times on 4 of the 5 occasions that I have visited Albufeira (the bar was closed for the winter when I was there last November - and I missed it!). Paulo is the friendliest and funniest guy you will meet while in Albufeira - only Pearsie at Jinky's Bar is as funny and friendly as Paulo is. The Bar is a wee gem of a place, great to just sit out with a few beers and watch the world go by and it is one of those bars where you are never on your own for long as it is always only a matter of time before you are in company with others or with Paulo himself. I can't recommend this wee gem of bar highly enough - if you are in the Old Town, pop in and find out for yourself why I recommend it so highly. As for negative reviews posted earlier, well, not everyone is a pleasant and respectful guest and Paulo, to his credit, does not stand for any nonsense, for the benefit, pleasure and comfort of his guests whom he values greatly, which is why so many visitors return year after year and often several times each year. Because he does not allow Stag and Hen parties, Paulo creates an atmosphere in his bar that is suitable and conducive to solo guests, couples and families, unlike many of the bars around the Old Town. When you are in Albufeira, pop in for a few drinks and see why I rate this wee bar, and Paulo, so highly - I'm certain that you won't regret doing so!“

“Four years after our first visit we are still very impressed. My husband's pork cheek was amazing. I loved my fried squid and my 12 year old loved her carbonara. So sad it's our last night. We would eat here every night. Great value and lovely owners. We only hope they are still here for our next visit. We will certainly be back. We love the quality and tranquility of the place. Thank you. X“

“We came here this weekend its such a great pub.. proper irish pub . Nice drinks and great atmosphere. We sat outside in the lovely sun and as it got a bit cooler in the evening we moved inside to the cosiness of a n irish bar. Lovely staff and spotless clean .. definitely take a trip here if in albuferia“

“Originally was meant to go Fast cats but they stopped doing breakfast so had a walk round and found this Gem.Very kind and great customer service. Very good food and the price is affordableWill definitely be coming back.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian English breakfast“

“Absolutely fantastic bar, it's very unique and the decor is amazing as well. The bar staff are so friendly too.

Its a great place to escape the madness of the strip. I would highly recommend visiting this place when in Albuferia“

“While taking a Sunday strollWe stumble upon the Bluebell BarUp a hill on a corner all aloneInside we are greeted by the friendly Victoria with a lovely smileAnd to help prepared to go that extra mileWith 70/80s music and sports on SkyTime in the Bluebell would flyOne became two before we knew a fewThen upstairs to be greeted by a spectacular viewOf Albufiera from a hillFor such a view to killIf its hospitality and scenery your looking forYou needn't travel farJust take a stroll up the hill to the wonderful Bluebell Bar“

“Great small pub away from the chaos of town! Owner and barman are dry,funny and typically British,which we love. Went in a few times during our week away and the locals make it feel like home. Be warned he doesn't serve bread and butter if you are Americans ?????.“

“Didn't eat here but stopped for drinks a couple of nights and cannot recommend Nelson and his sister more. It's a small bar with a huge welcome. Will definitely come back

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes there is accessibility“

“My wife and I decided to eat out at Invictus last night and we were so happy that we did, the food and the service was excellent. Unfortunately we do not speak Portuguese but that didn’t make ordering difficult as the menu is in English. We both had the same starter and we chose chicken and steak for our main courses, both were cooked to perfection. The Chocolate cake for dessert was tasty. There was a substantial drinks menu made available to us and Alcohol free beer was one of them. Overall, it was a lovely meal and definitely value for money. After the meal we were treated to an evening of live music from the band in the downstairs bar, they were really good. We will certainly return to Invictus.“

“Had the best time in jinkys the atmosphere was electric the place was buzzing music brilliant but most importantly the bar staff make the place for what it is they are great craic and get the people involved to make sure they have a good night you wil not be disappointed will definitely be back next time I am in albuferia“

“First went to drop in bar over the Easter bank Holiday 2024 on a complete whim it was pissing down so jumped in there and was greeted by the main man joe. We ended up having a good sesh in 3 of the 4 nights we stayed. Joe is a top guy, great barman with a huge heart. Portugals finest. We then recently came back from a 7 night stay and headed straight over to see joe watched the champs league final and the 5vs5 boxing think we walked in at 8pm and left at 4am.....don't ask but it was a great laugh. We honestly haven't had a better pint anywhere in albufeira joes pint of superbok literally is the BEST. TOP MAN JOE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. ITS A MUST VISIT BOOZER X“

“Was there at the beginning of the euros this year. Excellent wee pub, Lee the owner and Martha the waitress were awesome. Great tunes, lovely draft cider. Cocktails good price the Pina colada ? was delicious too! Ending up meeting lovely older gentleman from Somerset and we all had an impromptu dance off! We will be back in September ?“

“Went to Coffee Zen in May 23 for drinks enjoyed the atmosphere and beers, Came Back in May 24 , New staff but staff member remembered us from previous hotel we stayed in which was really nice and made us very welcoming, Got breakfasts , Nice and filling, , New owners in 2024 will deferentially be back“

“Popped in to watch the football as the weather was bad. Nice friendly bar bit on the small side. Has 4 screens showing different games. Inflated drink prices to cover the cost of watching the games I suppose. Mostly English customers. It was fine for watching the match but wouldn't rush back.“

“Great little bar which is a short walk away from the main shopping streets, opposite one of the stops for the tourist train and just a short walk from the promenade it is in a perfect location if you are stopping for one drink or a few. At 3€ for a pint of San Miguel it would be rude not to pop in!“

“Booked for Sunday lunch, which was fabulous. We have never been before, so we thought we would give it a try. The lunch was lovely, beef and pork, roasties, carrot and swede, cabbage, green beans, carrots, Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower cheese, followed by homemade choice of desserts all for 14 euros. We were made to feel so welcome. The family made the afternoon, and they were so friendly. We had a fabulous few hours. There was also a singer who was very good. You do need to book for the Sunday lunch. Would highly recommend. Drink prices were very reasonable, too. Enjoy ?“

“From the moment I crossed the street, I could tell it will be a fun time.
The bar food is great, the drinks are really nice, try the specialty cocktails!!!
The bartenders are great, and super fun to watch performing, and late nights are 100% wild!
If you are in Albufeira, do not miss out!
Thank me later!“

“Always a busy pub no matter what time of the year. Plenty outside covered seating to eat your meal and enjoy your drink.

Kid-friendliness: Lots of families gather here for lunchtime food.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's on the level.“

“Brilliant bar, brilliant friendly staff.Visited here back at end of march with my partner couple nights and really enjoyed ourselves here, the bar maid (a polish girl) was so welcoming and made great pina coladas cocktails and met the owner and got speaking to him about football etc and he even phoned us a taxi at end of night to get us back to our hotel.Would definitely recommend and will certainly visit again nxt time I come back to Albufeira.“

“Excellent. We really enjoyed the entertainment and hospitality here! Best on the strip. Head up to the top of the strip and it's on the right. Great live music and decent prices for drinks. We we here four evenings during our stay it was that good!Recommended!“

“We popped into Tunes every day on our way down to the Square and it was always our second last stop going back up the hill. Shirley and Andrew were great to us for the whole month. Ziggy the owner (a good guy) is changing the name shortly to Stardust but things will stay the same. Recommended to us by Alan Smith owner of the Britannia (which he sold during Covid)in the New town and moved back to Liverpool. Just go there and have some good banter.“

“Incredible ice cream, cocktails are epic and the mini pancakes were delish?? you have to give this place a try!!!

Kid-friendliness: My daughter was asking Alsorts of questions about the ice cream and the owner was happy to explain the process to her.“

“Came here on a Tuesday night. Most other places were closed. I had read before I left UK that the chicken was good. After a long days walk, the nibbles (cheese, bread and olives) were devoured, then we shared the chef salad - nice, then a plate of chicken, ribs and chips were shared (€15). These were piping hot and super delish. Lip smackingly good. All washed down with a bottle of red (Sossego) which was great too.Great value and fully recommend.“

“Lima is a small family run restaurant just near the Brejos/ Montechoro roundabout and near the new Intermarche Hypermarket. My family and friends have been patrons of this superb eatery for 19 years. Remarkable value down to earth meals. I particularly recommend the Seabass with potatoes and salad. But ask them to hold off on the amount of salt they tend to cook with. Also they have a lovely local white veno verde on tap ,- great fizzy taste. Recommended.

Parking: Small Carpark outside with street parking also.

Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcomed here“

“We spent a couple of hours here every night of our 10 day holiday we only had drinks but the experience was a pleasant one. The staff are a credit to this bar especially Eduardo who can't do enough for you. I would highly recommend this place.“

“Crazy atmosphere...
Tourists passing through Albufeira we were captivated by the artist previously mentioned in a review below...
It's been a long, long time since I've seen such an atmosphere in a bar...
Congratulations to the whole team..“

“(Translated by Google) Pleasant place best suited for groups of friends.5 star service.I've never eaten there, but I highly recommend going to the establishment.(Original)Local agradável mais indicado para grupos de amigos.Atendimento 5 estrelas.Nunca comi lá, mas recomendo imenso ir ao estabelecimento.“

“Bruno, Emily and the rest of the staff couldn’t do more for you. The place is sooo cheap. €3 for a pint of local beer. It doesn’t matter what football match you want to watch. If you ask, they’ll probably be able to get it on for you. I asked for the Celtic game, which is difficult for bars in the UK to display, never mind Portugal. Honestly, if you’re making a trip to Albufeira. Check this place out!!!“

“Best bar in Albufeira! Great atmosphere with karaoke, the tastiest cocktails at great prices and the friendliest staff I've experienced in a long time. Went here almost every day during our stay and it was amazing every time! Many thanks to the great staff! ?“

“(Translated by Google) Very cold beer and speed in serving its terrace has magnificent views of the beach and I love its interior very well decorated ?(Original)Cerveza bien fría y rapidez en servir su terraza tiene magníficas vistas a la playa y su interior me encanta muy bien decorado?“

“In view of the service I do not understand why this establishment does not have 6 stars out of 5. Indeed, when you arrive at the place you feel like a bird in its nest, like a child with its parents, like a penguin in its ice floe. This bar is as warm as a burning stove in the middle of winter, and in winter it's still cold.Anyway, a brief truce of worldliness, when the alcohol is flowing freely, the ship is still at sea.Anroine“

“(Translated by Google) The coldest beer in the Algarve spectacular service to be repeatedGreat professional Mr. RenatoThere is sea and sea there is going and coming backWhenever I go to Albufeira there I will go(Original)A cerveja mais fria do Algarve serviço espectacular a repetirGrande profissional o sr.RenatoHa mar e mar há ir e voltarSempre que for a Albufeira ai irei“

“Great little bar with friendly atmosphere.screens for sport. Pool table. Karaoke and good beers and drinks. Bit crappie that they only accept cash. Lovely pizza restaurant next door. Friendly slightly older bar maid with a cracking set of nawks !“

“This is a lovely bar run by a French couple that have been there for 20 years and are looking to retire so if you fancy running a bar in the the sun then you couldn't Go wrong with this place, it's just a couple of minutes from the beach and 10 minutes from the old town, it's very well priced and have all the sports on i like to go and watch formula one .“

“The absolute best time! Kirsty was an angel to deal with. She came back to me so quickly with all queries I had. We used another company for another event and they were the worst compared to Portugal rocks! Colt is a little cutie pie and we learned and made the best cocktails! Thanks Portugal rocks “

“(Translated by Google) Spectacular place with excellent food, I liked the place and the atmosphere I loved the food the best I've ever eaten I never dare to go to another restaurant because this one has a very varied menu for all styles of food and culture except the place.(Original)Lugar espetacular com excelente comida, gostei do local e da atmosfera adorei a comida da melhor que já comi nunca mais me atrevo a ir a outro restaurante porque este tem um cardápio bastante variado a todos os estilos de comida e cultura lugar excete.“

“Great bar, love the location. The staff so friendly and a must is its so cool the coolest place to have lunch, play pool or just people watch, the chicken burgers and lovely and all food is fresh, not a massive selection just kinda pub grub snacks but a great we spot“

“Chris is Jason Stratton look alike ??? service amazing Rachel is wonderful very friendly an knowledgeable of area and great for advice food is amazing and drinks flow nicely very reasonably priced and not watered down highly recommend a visit“

“Found this gem on our 1st night in Albufeira. Staff were great. Nat, the bar person was excellent. Mark the joint owner, a great person. They recognised us when we returned and remembered our drinks we had. All the staff joked and had a laugh with everybody. Dj was excellent. Wide range of music for everybody. Must go for a great night or start to your night“
