Taberna de Lagos
(Rua Dr Joaquim Tello 1)

atmospheric bar attracts a somewhat savvier bar-goer (higher cocktail prices also keep
some punters away).

(Rua Lançarote de Freitas 34)
The snug Old Tavern is an old favourite and continues to haul in a
lively, more mature crowd with its feel-good cocktail of pop classics.
BAR
Grand Café

This classy place has three bars, lots of gold leaf,
kitsch, red velvet and cherubs, over which are draped dressed-up local and foreign hip-
sters.
BAR
Amuras Bar
(Marina)
One of half a dozen restaurant-bars overlooking the marina, this one attracts a
slightly more staid crowd, that comes for fruity cocktails and live music most nights.

Chill out with the smart set at this bar-restaurant, open
day and night. It's located bang on Meia Praia beach, with a pool and attitude. At night it's
