- JohnstonesOnTheMove203 contributionsBest Cocktail Lounge Ever!Best cocktail bar EVER! Wish we’d found this place when we first starting coming to Carvoeiro a few years ago - fantastic drinks and service, and the owners are a couple who make you feel very special. We were a group of six and everything we tried we liked. Owner Katya even made me a Purple Lady with real violets as a garnish. The prize for presentation goes to the Smokey Manhattan which was served on a tray with a huge glass globe filled with smoke.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Every so often a place knows exactly what it is doing and gets it right. Every time. We have been going to the Cocktail Garden for over ten years now and last week went again. It reminded me of how every time we've been here, we've left feeling happy. And it isn't just the alcohol. The drinks ARE great of course, I'm told the cocktails are fantastic, but personally I'm happy to have a cold beer and enjoy what makes a good bar a great bar - the people who serve it. The staff and owners go out of their way to make this more than just a drink stop. They are friendly, they remember who you are and as you look around you realise that this means they remember a lot of people as the place is always busy. Some people will hang our here all night, eating the popcorn that lands without prompting on the tables, playing the wooden puzzle games that occasionally are placed before you, or watching sport on the television screens. Some like us use it as a spring board for a restaurant trip down into town. But this is also the place to come for an international sports match. It's also the place to come for a quiz on a Thursday. In fact all in all it does what a local pub should do - offer a great atmosphere, a chat, a great drink and a great sense of company. The only difference from a local English pub however, is that you're doing all that whilst sitting outside in warm air watching the sun glint on the tips of palm trees as the sun slowly sets.

We have frequented Cocktail Garden most nights of our holiday so far…these are some of the best cocktails I’ve ever tasted! The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful, the pool table and puzzles are an added touch that few bars offer and they are very much welcome. We have attended several of their live music events and we can say that we have never had the same kind of night twice, the variation of styles ensured that the crowd were all pleased every night. I am very much looking forward to attending their quiz night in the near future.

A lovely bar, nice friendly atmosphere with live music during the week and a quiz night on Thursday evenings.
With live sport on TV it's good to watch the football etc.
The bar is well stocked , reasonably priced and Luis makes the best selection of cocktails served by his wife Catia and their friendly staff. Such a lovely bar. Looking forward to returning there soon.

Based on reviews, I decided to visit the Cocktail Garden as I was staying in a villa on the same street.
On arrival, there were two other tables present and when I took a seat, one waiter began to ask what I was doing when another one came with a menu and asked me to take a look. Another lady looked in my direction and very bluntly asked ‘how many people’ and when I answered she simply walked away.
While sitting at the table, the lady (who I now know is the co-owner) was serving a table behind me (she ignored me on arrival and when she walked by my table). She had a conversation with a young couple asking them if they had posted their reviews (they said yes) and she proceeded to ask them to ask others to review them or sign in as other people and leave 5-star reviews. When the couple agreed she informed them that that’s what she likes to hear.
Having heard this, I was viewing reviews on my phone when this lady walked past and she very noticeably looked at my phone and suddenly acknowledged me with a very forced politeness, even referring to me as ‘sir.’
As I was half way through my drink, multiple other tables had arrived and each table (7 to be precise) was given a bowl of popcorn…every table but me.
Due to the highly unprofessional service, actions and customer profiling that was evident, I knew that one drink would be enough and I asked for the bill. When I offered my card I was told bluntly ‘no cards.’ I suggested that this may be worth informing customers before ordering and he simply shrugged his shoulders .
Overall, I am highly disappointed by the service in the Cocktail Garden and the clear coercion that goes into getting 5-star reviews. My visit was based on the reviews but I would urge anyone to think carefully before being fooled by these.
I have spent two weeks visiting many locations from West to East on the Algarve and I can honestly say that this was the worst example of service and hospitality that I have experienced. Carvoeiro is a spectacular destination with a great atmosphere and the Cocktail Garden did not come close to matching my experiences everywhere else in the town or elsewhere in the Algarve.

I’ve visited with friends on two or three occasions and it’s been okay without being fantastic. For me, their reluctance to offer food -apart from a rather odd selection of snacks - is a missed opportunity considering there’s nothing else available in the square snack wise since Tiffany’s closure. On my last visit it was busy and service was a bit slow, but the cocktails are good and not watered down like so many in town. The atmosphere here is often lacking, but the age range is mixed so good for everyone and they show football games and have a weekly quiz.

Want a cocktail? Cocktail Garden is the place for you. Extensive cocktail menu, but if what you want isn’t on the list, just ask! Service is polite, friendly and fun. Big shout out to Victor and Pedro who looked after us during our frequent visits after dinner. Great place to visit with your family, situated in a lovely courtyard adjacent to restaurants. Live music (selected days) plays in the courtyard whilst you’re sipping your drink, not loud and overwhelming, but just right. Ask for one of the many puzzles to keep your brain awake (we completed several) and sit back and enjoy.

If you want a cocktail or a welcoming atmosphere then look no further. The Cocktail has it all. Luis can give you the most tasteful cocktail you can imagine and Catia can make you feel like you are sitting in your own home. Don’t debate, just head over and pay a visit. You will NOT forget! P.S the raspberry daiquiri and the tequila sunrise are amazing!

If you are looking for a phenomenal atmosphere, look no further than the Cocktail Garden. Its menu is a masterpiece for drinking cocktails , offering an amazing selection of drinks that satisfy various tastes and preferences. The environment is welcoming and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making every visit a real pleasure.
I've been to the Cocktail Garden several times and I've never been disappointed - it's truly a must-see destination for any lover of a good cocktail.
Making an addendum that I always took my daughters, the children were surprised with puzzles and popcorns. Anyway, we love it. Super recommend!

Well what can I say about this place and the owners Catia and Luis, not to mention the staff. I've been visiting carvoeiro and the local areas for over 30 years and when I'm here my daily or nightly pleasure to relax with friends and staff at the Cocktail Garden Monte carvoeiro.
Luis is a highly talented mixologist and the cocktails are superb,. My recommendation to get anyone in the mood is the house Long island Ice tea. But everything on the menu is superb.
I couldn't recommend this bar more , not just for adults, couples or groups but also families and families with small children. Such a great atmosphere.
Love to all at the Cocktail Garden . A must go to Place.

AMAZING!! - after spending a few hours exploring we came across cocktail garden and had THE BEST afternoon, we were sat in the sunshine sipping pina colada’s and beer, whilst being given puzzles to complete by the owner it was such good fun and couldn't recommend enough, the venue also has a pool table of course we had to have a game. It’s situated in a lovely courtyard with such a chilled vibe! - thank you
