The cocktails look and taste nice but aren't very strong. They're also pretty pricey compared to other places in the Azores. The space includes an indoor seating area and an outdoor rooftop/pool.

They were all over the place and just couldn't handle everyone. I got the burger with salad, which apparently means just a few pieces of lettuce in your actual burger.

Nothing to write home about, but if you need a sports bar on the island, this is it.

If you bring a bottle of Gin they don't have then they will give you a bottle of theirs in exchange.
