What Joanne T likes about 38 and a Half:
We visited this bar a few times during our stay in Alvor. We had jugs of sangria which were to die for at €7.50!! The cheapest but also one of the best. This is a bar locals use and is on one of the main streets where there are plenty of restaurants to choose from. Wine is only €1.50! They also sell food but we didn’t try any as we were only after a drink. Doesn’t look much as you pass by but is well worth a visit. View all feedback.

I popped in here one evening for a coffee and drink. Service and place were fine. Nothing outstanding but no problems either

Little cafe with inside and outside seating. Basic budget cafe offering toasties and more. Clean and English menu available. Nothing wrong but just average.

I had my best steak here and the range of starters was fabulous. The service was very good and the overall meal was excellent.
