Vertigo Live Music Bar — Restaurant in Albufeira

In a very busy night for dinner out where all restaurants were super full and with massive queues waiting for tables, when we stopped by we were welcomed by the suoer friendly staff who promptly found us a table for 11 people but inside the bar. Was a very hot night and the whole idea was to eat outside but was so busy around and we were so hungry we went indoors anyway. Whilst choosing our food some life music started and it was unbearable to speak to each other inside, not that the music was bad, was actually really good, just because inside there were very loud speakers. We spoke with the waiter and thankfully he manage to get us a table outside and moved us straightaway. Really good staff and attentive! The food was what to expect from a bar/pub, its not really a traditional portuguese food restaurant, its really not a restaurant but still food was good, service excelent and environment awesome. We ended up staying longer and have some more drinks after dinner and enjoying the life music. 😌 Will definitely...

They said it was happy hour. I’ve never been so miserable in all my life. Now I was never expecting a gourmet meal, but what I am about to describe to you will make you cancel your flights and go to Anglesey instead.

The picture of the fish and chips advertised looks ok at best. I thought, hey I’ll give that a go. Quick and easy lunch. What arrived at the table only made me feel remorse for the fish which gave its life to become such a monstrosity. Two miserable fish fingers sat there on my plate. The closest they’d been to the sea in maybe 7 years?

I could only dream of getting out of this nightmare with the nail griding flute music in the background only cementing the idea that this, was a mistake.

Run far people go anywhere but here. Learn from my mistake and don’t let it be your own. If you need lunch, please just go and grab some lays or something...

Lunch with our friends on a not too busy day was not the best experience we had in this lively area. The front of house staff were, as always, quite assertive and I usually ignore them but we wanted something to eat so were shown to a table. About a quarter of the outside tables were being used and although there were plenty of staff they ignored us completely for about 15 - 20 minutes. One of the male waiters seemed to be more interested in playing up to the female waitresses and customers than doing a professional job. This was confirmed when a group of four young "ladies" were shown to a table near us and he immdeiately took their order! My wife managed to attract the attention of a waitress who then looked as though she was crying. My wife asked if she was ok and she said yes so we ordered. The food was slow to appear but was ok for the price....
