The Black Stove has the only jukebox in Alvor, which is updated on a monthly basis so contains everything you could think of even up to the most recent hits. They import their Guinness from Dublin so it's the best pint in Alvor! It has free wifi and it's also the only wheelchair accessible bar in Alvor. A truly great experience!

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.
