About The Black Anchor

About us

Irish owned since 2007, The Black Anchor Irish Bar & Grill can be found overlooking the River Gilao in the charming town of Tavira. Traditional Portuguese architecture lines the cobble-stone streets and river banks of this relaxing East-Algarvian paradise. 

Our establishment occupies a beautiful 19th-century building. An eye-catching and distinctive yellow exterior coats the building, radiating warming tones as the sun lowers in the evening. The Black Anchor Irish Bar & Grill is made up of three different areas that all create a different environment and collectively make up the essence of our business. 

Whether you’re after a relaxing afternoon drink overlooking the river or hoping to celebrate a special event with friends and family, you will find comfort in one of our settings. If live music and a home-cooked meal is more your style, then we are pleased to provide regular outdoor performances and an extensive menu.

We have a great selection of wines, ports, spirits, shots and cocktails. Not to mention a broad selection of international draught and bottled beers including the best pint of Guinness in Tavira. To match, we proudly offer an extensive food menu with wonderful home-cooked traditional Portuguese and International Cuisine. 

The Black Anchor Environment

Enjoy the Esplanade. Situated in the Old Town of Tavira, close to the Roman Bridge, visitors can savour the wonderful delights and relaxed atmosphere of Tavira on our esplanade overlooking the river. This pretty river setting makes for a most enjoyable drink and dining experience.

The Pub & Restaurant was newly renovated in 2020, The Black Anchor Irish Bar & Grill is roomy with an old-time feel. Inside you will find plenty of floor space with two bars and three separate seating areas. Each night we welcome locals and visitors, both of which are there to enjoy the relaxed and more often buzzing atmosphere.

In addition to the river seating area, The Black Anchor Irish Bar & Grill has a fabulous beer Garden and Courtyard, humbly named The Vin Yard after one of our owners, Vinnie. Hidden away at the back of the building, visitors will be pleasantly surprised to find this beautiful area laden with a vast array of vines, bougainvilleas, plants and herb bushes. 

We also offer a BBQ and outdoor bar perfectly suited for events. A large TV screen is also accompanied by lots of cosy ambient lighting. The Vin Yard is a crowd-pleasing favourite for birthday parties, day two wedding celebrations and other events.
