World Super Bikes come to town

The temperature has just dropped a couple of degrees outside during the day, but The Old Tavern is still nice and cosy with it's traditional warm welcome to one and all. We are expecting an extra rush this weekend, due to the arrival of World Super-bike fans and lovers of two wheeled speed coming to this part of the World to enjoy the last WSB race of the season at our new, fantastic Algarve Race Track, which is just 11 Km´s from Lagos. Will it be Haga or Spies crowned world champion? The excitement is mounting. Our Happy Hour prices and Special Drinks deals are still on all night and we are only too happy to make you feel at home. If you need any information reference the track or the racing, pop in and say hallo and we will answer any of your queries.
Looking forward to seeing you all and remember! Ride Safe.

Happy Hour two for one, still on

The summer season may be declared officially over by the local council, but we are still running all our specials as the sun is still shining and the temperature at night is hot. Our really popular Double Up on Cocktails brings smiles galore at the bar. Also our very special jug of frozen Daiquiri, laden with fresh fruit and alcohol, is proving to be one of our best deals. And that is all night long. So is the price of our Beer, commonly known as liquid credit crunch elixir, which runs from opening till closing time.
If you are in town, don't be shy. Pop in and sample for yourself what The Old Tavern has to offer and find out first hand why so many people write good reports on Trip advisor.

Summer attractions

So the summer is now in full swing with people arriving at The Old Tavern from all over Europe and Northern Portugal. We are still running all those devil may care special offers, well into the night. During the evening Peter is doing an incredible amount of home made Smoothies. Just what you need after a hot, sweaty day at the beach. Very popular with all ages and the kid's just love them to bits. During the night the choice of drink swings in favour of Marilyn's fantastic jugs of frozen Daiquiri's and if that cools you down too much, then you can always get going again with one or two of our specially priced Shots from an extremely long list.
Our thanks to our friends from the north of Portugal demonstrating how to have a good time in The Old Tavern and yes, we look forward to seeing you all again next year.

No horns on these Vikings

Now it's almost the end of July and the heat has certainly arrived in the streets. The sun is working it's magic on pale skinned arrivals and everyone is having fun long into the night. People come in to The Old Tavern on their first evening out, returning all through their holiday and we get to see the tan evolve whilst they have a really good bash at tasting what The Tavern has to offer. Cocktails, Shots and Beers galore from all over the place, at really affordable prices plus the impeccable service and music is totally free. Even people like Patrick and the delectable Berit, together with all their friends from frozen Norway, have been trying to work through one of the longest lists of drinks you will ever find in Lagos. They had to go home defeated in their effort as their holiday was not long enough , but will return like so many other of our friendly and happy guests of The Old Tavern. Just like Patrick and company, we always look forward to seeing you again. Don't wait too long to come through our doors.

Hot Weather and Bikers

July is a very good month for anyone to visit The Algarve. Great beaches, stunning scenery, friendly people and an unending choice of restaurants and bars. The jewel of towns has to be Lagos, with it's narrow cobblestone streets and lanes leading to new adventurous discoveries round every corner. luckily The Old Tavern is pretty easy to find at any time of day and night and the staff are only too willing to help you with any queries you may have on where to eat and what to do. Not only do we get families, couples, golf groups and happy go lucky people coming into our parlour all the time, we also get two wheeled travellers popping in to say hallo and enjoying our hospitality.
This month it is The Faro Motorcycle Club's annual get together between the 16th. and the 19th. It's rated as the largest motorbike meeting in Europe, with over 25000 bikers turning up from all over the place. Even Norwegians and Italiens make it a must do destination. Brit's, Germans, Dutch, Spanish, you name it they are here in the Algarve. All wanting a good time, just like anyone else and as we are also bikers at The Old Tavern and know the local roads like the back of our hands, all bikers are welcome to come in for an update on the best roads to take for a nice ride out. Lagos is also only 11 Kilometres from the new Parkalgar Autodromo, otherwise known as The Algarve Race Track, which not only hosts professional races but also has various Track Days specifically organised for motor bikes.
So , feel free to visit us at The Old Tavern for a nice cool drink and a chin wag just like Nick and Kev did together with Claire. They are Harley riders and proud of it.

Parched Ozzies find Paradise

June has proven to be a very hot and thirsty month. Loads of sunburned bodies looking to be cooled from both sides of the skin. Factor 118 doesn't really work from the inside, but a cool pull of the amber nectar does. Even visitors from Down Under beat a hasty retreat to The Old Taverns Door to shelter from the heat and sample just one of the many exotic drinks available, that remind you of home. No tears guys, remember your Australians! The only thing missing is a shot of Bundy and coke. Maybe next month, if the supply wagon gets through.
The summer season has started with a vengeance, our »Slushies« are selling really well and as for the jugs of fresh fruit frozen Daiquiri's, well we've had to bring in an extra mixer to keep up with demand.
Whatever your taste buds might fancy, this hot and sun kissed summer, fear not intrepid traveller and holiday maker, The Old Tavern will be able to quench them all.
