The Brewery — Restaurant in Loulé

The only negative place in the whole of Vilamoura. The rudest staff I have ever come across. Food and drink nice but seriously overpriced compared to other bars. We ordered drinks and had ordered a sprite for my son Nd a Bacardi and coke for my mother in law. The rude waitress who brought the drinks to us practically threw the drinks at us and put the Bacardi and sprite in front of my 10 year old son. Only we noticed that the other glass had ice wedged in it so could see there was no spirit in it we managed to grab the drink just before my son drank it. When we said it to the girl she thought it was funny and said she didn't know what the drinks were. First rule of working in a bar is knowing whatbdrinks are what and which drinks are for who. We also were there on Saturday 14 July and the place was empty except for maybe 15-20 who were there to watch the GAA match. They had the game on on their tv's but refused to turn the sound up as they wanted to have the music playing. We are soon left to leave the staff to themselves to listen to the music in am empty pub and we continued around the marina to O'Neills and watched the rest of the game with sound and great craic from the other patrons and especially the very friendly staff. You only have to walk around the marina to see most bars and restaurants busy and all we tried were very nice The Brewery is the exception and you see the others are following suit as I have seen other comments to follow...

I’m not really one for the typical Irish bar that you find around the holiday resorts however, by absolute chance we found ourselves stumble across The Brewery on Vilamoura Marina and have to say what a great place this proved to be.

The Brewery has a prime location fronting the Marina with as you’d expect seating both indoors and out. The interior is well designed and in good condition. Although our visit was early afternoon, I can imagine this place really comes to life as the sun starts to set and the night time revellers arrive.

Live music is played from the dedicated stage each evening but during the day, an excellent range of music is played and very fitting to the vibe.

Food is available, not a huge menu but again, quite appropriate to the setting and was very good quality and value.

We enjoyed our time at The Brewery so much we stayed for nearly 3 hours enjoying the view, people watching, the drinks and the overall chilled vibe and music.

A great find and one I recommend trying if you find yourself in Vilamoura and maybe, I’m finally an Irish bar convert…!!

A few photos attached that don’t do the place justice. Just go and see it...

Went here with friends for a night out. When I asked for a top up on my drink as was short of a pint, the bearded bar staff told me to "just f**K off". The manager came over to resolve the issue, as was passing, and went to give me the top up. Same staff member grabbed her by the hips, moved her aside and told her not to serve me and then threatened to call security on me. So she moved away. Employee clearly has a sexual relationship with the manager enabling him to do what he wants, so don't expect much help if service is below par. I won't be going back as this was really unconfortable and left a horrible feeling...
