For those not looking to spend a lot this isn't the place for you as it is pricey. We ended up spending a few hours and definitely a good amount of money here, this was a good thing as they server took us upstairs to a VIP seating area with a million dollar view. Will for sure come back to this bar in the future, had great laughs and just an amazing time

I visited here every single day of my holiday in Alvor this summer despite the fact that I had…read morefree drinks at my hotel so that just goes to show how much I love the whole experience at Michaels. When I entered the bar on my first day I asked for the WIFI password ,despite the fact that free WIFI wasn't actually offered, the owner Michael standing behind the counter gave it straight away to me with a smile! As for drinks, they are absolute first class! And have a huge variety that caters for people of all ages and tastes! I love his selection on Non-Acholic cocktails which are perfect for kids! There's also a sence of real cleanliness with a whole white interior with plenty of shaded outdoor seating. But all in all that brings be back every time is the welcoming nature of all the staff at Michael's especially Michael himself! I would fly all the way back to Alvor just for one of his cocktails again! PS: Michaels is also a SKY SPORTS bar which is great matches

Fish portions were generous but they were saturated in grease and felt very oily. Chips were fine but nothing to rave about, bit bland. Ambiance felt cheaply manufactured, all the framed decor looked like stock photography of random fisherman in costume pulled off the internet. The central lighting fixture was pretty awesome but that's about it. Our table had a straight shot view of the literal toilet, not just the restroom. I mean, we got the dishes we ordered but overall, huge disappointment, especially with the positive reviews on various sites.

After far too long (we were almost done our wine bottle) I flagged someone who said we needed to order at the front. After that, it was a great experience! You choose what you want from a table of seafood on ice (we did grilled squid for two. The woman showed us the squid, weighed it, went to the back and got another fresh squid when it wasn't enough. Very cool. Others in front of us chose fish and clams from the case that looked incredible). The view of the marina is lovely. Please note - food comes with boiled potatoes (perfectly cooked) and a mixed salad of lettuce, onions, and tomatoes (no dressing, vinegar and olive oil on the side). The squid was cooked perfectly with a lot (a pool) of olive oil (we dipped the potatoes in it), cilantro, and a ton of garlic. Exactly how I like it, but if you don't love garlic, be aware. Ambiance and experience (if you know to order upfront) was awesome. Lots of parking. Enjoy!
