O'Grady's Bar Verified listing

O’Grady’s Bar in Alvor (Portimão, Algarve) is a friendly Irish-style pub popular with both locals and holidaymakers. It sits at Rua da Paz 7, in the village centre of Alvor, and has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. It has been refreshed under new ownership (Dave is the current host) but retains the charm of the old bar it replaced, with a décor that feels casual and comfortable.

The bar shows live sports (including GAA, rugby, and football), making it a gathering spot when big games are on. They also feature music and a friendly staff that welcome mingling—many visitors comment on how easy it is to meet people here. Drinks are reasonably priced, and the service is noted as warm and attentive.

O’Grady’s is generally open from mid‑afternoon (around 4:00 PM) until midnight, though on some days it operates longer or nearly 24 hours depending on demand. Because it's small and cosy, it's ideal for quieter early evening drinks or settling in late after dinner. The crowd tends to be mixed in age: tourists, locals, couples, and groups of friends.
