What to do and see in Portimao, Algarve: The Best Nightlife

April 1, 2022 Hana Mouser

Portimao is a sailor’s delight, thanks to its calm waters and beautiful conditions. Plenty of elite international competitions happen here, but you don’t have to be a professional to set sail. Cruising the coast on the double-masted Santa Bernarda pirate ship is a family favorite. On dry land, you can wander the lovely Alvor boardwalk, enjoy a succulent seafood meal or zip around the go-kart track at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve.

Yet again, Hickeys has lived up to its reputation for great reasonably priced drink, great craic and entertainment as provided by the clientele in the great pub that Pat and Dave and the other boys run. Year after year, time after time, night after night it gives you what you want from a holiday! A nice place to meet new people, old friends, have a bit of banter and sing a few songs and be well looked after by Pat and the lads. And it’s the go to bar for watching sport, particularly GAA. At this stage it’s like a friends reunion no matter what week of the year you go back to Hickeys. As Pat says every week is like having old friends come to visit, with new friendships being made, and all this goes to make Hickeys very special. Be prepared for late nights!!! Don’t be afraid to start or join in the sing song, everyone joins in!!! If the RiRa Agus Ruaile Buaile isint for you then there’s the quite upstairs terrace to relax on. Enjoy Hickeys...........Probably............Best..........????????????????????????????????????????????????????

The Church Bar

Reviewed By iMacPortugal - Cascais, Portugal

I have been going to Alvor for years. I met John the owner when he worked in Hickey's. He has done a great job setting up the Church bar. It has a very 'local' feel to it. Young Dave is an absolute gentleman. From Limerick like myself and my father loves chatting all things GAA related with him. I love a bar where you can enjoy watching and talking about sport, tell a few jokes and sing a few tunes. You will get all this in the church. Here's hoping we all leave Covid behind and this lovely bar is awaiting folks going to Alvor next year.
