Well what can I say about this place that hasn’t been said in all the other excellent reviews. Yes it serves fantastic caipirinha cocktails, plays awesome music and has a great calm relaxing atmosphere.
The staff are excellent - Nauali, her brothers, Jess and the team work very hard to create a great experience for everyone, locals and tourists alike.
Extremely good value for money especially on the “ strip” as other bars have inflated prices for local beer, it’s great to see a bar not over charging for a superbock beer.
Top tip - get to Bolan Bar before sunset and get sat outside with a cocktail or a black beer ( my favourite ) and watch the world go by, best spot in Alvor.






Probably the most chilled bar we have ever been to. As a big Reggae music lover the place always pleases. The whole vibe and decor is worth paying a visit for. Cocktails are amazing and great prices too. We have been going for years and it will always be a hit on our trips to Alvor.

This is an excellent bar with fab music and amazing decoration. I loved the chilled vibe. The pictures on the walls were a feast for the eyes. Drinks prices were good too given the location. Much better than most of the pretentious cocktail bars!



The nolan bar is still our favourite bar in alvor.little has changed in the three years since last here,its still fun and has the reggae music and drinks great value,sambuca shots only 2 euro! New girl jess from Canada is very friendly ,a must visit!

We only went in once, average pub, but worth going in for the decoration around the walls of lots of music icons, colour and the writings and messages of their visitors from around the globe.
