Alvor Travel Forum

Me and my family are going to alvor in august and although we are not party animals are children allowed in the bars. The elvis tribute sounds like fun and the kids would love the karaoke. They are 11,13 and 15 and would be dissapointed to miss out on the nightlife.

Children of those ages are allowed in bars with their parents, no problem anywhere.

the portugese are probaply the most relaxed people in europe when it comes to kids in bars.
it's less than a decade ago that they actually opassed a law stating when kids are allowed to drink alcohol in bars,.
until the year 2000 children of any age could drink alcohol in a bar.
it's still quite common to see 14-15 year old portugese youngsters going out to bars during weekends.
i used to live in lagos which is just down the road from alvor and that town had 4-5 bars that had young local teenagers as their clients.

Children are welcome in bars and in fact they can legally drink alcohol from the age of 16.

There are a few karaoke bars in Alvor - Michael's next to Ali Super supermarket and Happy Nights and "Boozer" on the main street in Alvor.

Both The Venue (at the back of Ali Super) and Cactos II Bar on the Dunas Apartments (opposite the Venue) are very family friendly. They both have live entertainment, a pool table, and plenty of space outside.
