Alvor's nightlife kicks off earlier than in neighboring resorts and offers a lively and vibrant scene in local bars, pubs, restaurants, and disco clubs. Alvor's nightclubs cater to various age groups (except children), making it advisable to start your evening with a visit to one of the city's cocktail bars before hitting the dance floors.
For a great start to the night, enjoy a mojito or caipirinha on the terrace of Michaels Bar, which underwent renovations in 2012. Here, you can also relish live music, socialize with new people, or even take part in a karaoke contest. Among the favorites in the category of Alvor's best Irish pubs are Paddy's Bar and Black Stove Irish Bar. True to Irish pub tradition, these establishments offer hearty beers, live music, and convivial company, all managed by Irish proprietors.
For a truly idyllic evening in Alvor, Caniço Beach Bar is the place to be. It's open daily from 10:00, ensuring you can enjoy its atmosphere from dawn to dusk.
In the summer months, Praia da Rocha also hosts a range of activities including a luna park, beach volleyball and soccer tournaments, a wine festival, and a casino where you can test your luck.
