Very good cocktails coming with a very good price, the bartender has been more than welcoming with us and has been awesome about giving us suggestions about what to drink.The cocktails are absolutely amazing there, especiallt the long islqnd iced tea and the expresso martini. Defenetly recommended!

We discovered this little gem of a bar during our stay in Portimao. The owner made us feel at home and provided a great range of cocktails, our favourite was the gummy bear! The atmosphere was really relaxed and had a great mix of people and music. We can't wait to go back soon!

We stayed at the hotel oriental for 4 nights but only found this bar on our last night sadly . These were the best cocktails we had during our stay , and believe me we tried many of them! We had strawberry daiquiris, and shots, bubble gum and my fiancé had a moonshine shot! The Bar man , who was Canadian , offered impeccable service and was very friendly . We then went and ate next door at the curry house which was convenient. Wish we had found this the first night

Thank you very much for your review. Sadly it happens too many times, people finding us only on their last night. Still is better than never finding us though :D Thanks again for your comments and it is convenient having the curry house next door :) Wishing all the best and safe travels!

This is a little hidden place up one of the side streets from the front. Large beer 1,50 or cocktails 2 for 7.00 euro placed out of the sun so nice for those who need a little shade with a cold beer.

We saw this bar on trip advisor and planned on visiting while we were there. We were planning on looking for it as its not really on the main drag of praia da rocha but managed to just stumble upon it on our 1st night there. It's quite a small place and we thought that it deserved to be busier as the cocktails are excellent. The 2 for 7€ menu is real value for money and the frozen daiquiri's at 4€ each were a definite favourite. All the bars prices were very good as was the staff. Definitely worth the effort to find, which to be honest was pretty easy. If you dont visit here you are missing out

Visited this place a few times during our stay. The Owner was excellent host and the cocktails were hand made and not from pre mixed juices.
Try the Fire Water shot
Definitely look us up when you visit Nottingham if you want us to show you all the hidden bars

Is there any nightclubs or very good night life in Praia da Rocha

Hi,
Around mid June until mid September you have plenty to choose from between bars where you can dance, cocktail bars, Irish bars, beach bars and a couple of nightclubs.
The resort isn't big but it has a good variety to choose from. The Sunset parties and big MTV parties with known DJ's and hip hop artists usually start mid July until the last week of August.
In April, May and October it's still pretty good out here but not as busy. Hope this helps.

This place is super hard to find based on Google Maps or GPS directions, but so worth it! It's not actually directly on the main strip - just down one of the alleys. It's very easy to miss! It's on the side opposite to the water beside a big gelato shop and across from a two-story Irish pub. Hope that helps!

Another bar owner told me you show American Football games here. Is that true? I'm here for a month and would love to find a spot!
