The Black Anchor Pub: A Cozy Spot by the Gilao River

If you're looking for a cozy spot in the beautiful Tavira, then The Black Anchor, located on Rua Borda d'Água, is a must-visit. With a large terrace overlooking the Gilao river, this informal old café is the perfect location for a relaxed drink or an evening filled with live music.

Coziness Galore: Terrace and Pub Area

The terrace of The Black Anchor offers picturesque views of the Gilao river, while the pub area indoors provides a lively atmosphere, especially when there's live music, which happens four times a week.

Tapas and Drinks: Soaking in the Atmosphere

With daily opening hours from 12 PM–1 AM, The Black Anchor is the ideal place to enjoy a drink in the sun or a cozy evening with friends amidst live music and a wide selection of beers. The tapas, including the delicious hummus and garlic mushrooms with bread, are definitely worth trying.

Simple, Affordable Menu

While the restaurant boasts a simple menu, it offers plenty of choices for both tapas and main courses. From sandwiches starting at 3.50 euros to main courses starting at 12.50 euros, the prices are wallet-friendly.

Mixed Experience with Food

Although the dishes are simple and reasonably tasty, we do not specifically recommend The Black Anchor for dinner. However, for a relaxed drink with friends and delicious tapas, it's definitely a top choice.

Friendly Service and Fantastic View

The service is fast and friendly, and the view of the river is especially beautiful at sunset. Inside, there's a cozy atmosphere, with many regular customers, primarily an older crowd.
