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.
