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.

Having spent most our evenings in here after dinner and through to the early hours we can't recommend this bar enough. It's got character and fantastic staff who make potentially the nicest G & T's we have had. The live music on Saturday was great fun and the atmosphere was just what you are after on holiday. You must try the Portuguese gin served with juniper berries and a slice of apple. My one tip would be to arrive as early as you can and settle in for the night on a couple of bar stools.... You won't want to leave. Thanks to both Cristianos for making us feel so welcome. I'm sure we will both be back.

Friendly staff and atmosphere in this small pub. One evening they had a singer who was very good. There’s no outdoor seating so I imagine it might be hot and crowded in the height of summer.

Full perfect. Great team. Barmans are fabulous. They make me feel if I were in home. I will repeat. Tutto posto! Beer is very cold. They have a lot of gins. They can speak English Spanish Italian a lot of languages. They are master preparing all around cocktails .

This is a very lively and busy bar in the centre of Burgau.I found the two chaps serving very friendly and polite. The only downside for me was the prices which bordered on London-like at times.

This used to be a nice pub; "The Smugglers Bar" but when we last visited it had been changed to "Smugglers Wine Bar". So only small bottled beers are served now, wine and no spirits as such. E.G. You can't have a Vodka and Orange or a Bacardi & Coke but you can had a Brandy on it's own. Still a nice interior but prefered the old "Smugglers" to the new one.

The Smugglers wine bar was very nice, loads of wine to choose from but it just doesnt seem to sit well in Burgau (seems a little to upmarket!). Staff were friendly and happy to give advice on which wine to try...i think they should sell pints of beer though, it put the men off going there to sit with half a pint on an evening.
BUT i have to say the bar was much better when it was the smugglers rest, the atmosphere was much better and it was really the only 'pub' in Burgau to go to after a meal. I think the change has lost some of the charm and doesnt seem as busy as i remember it being before! Will wait and see what happens but i think it needs to go back to the smugglers rest!

Very friendly and efficient hosts, could not do more for you.. but a wine bar in Burgau with those prices!! i had the odd glass. Sorry but liked it how it was before.I do like the idea of the olives cheese and bread, and the sharing platter that's a really great idea, as you are not always hungry for a meal..

Sorry to say but not everyone in the party drinks wine some we were expecting to be able to order beer as well. Unfortunatly beer is not on the menu. Couldn't find many mixers for spirits either. We stayed for one and left. Felt sorry for the staff

Vinha occupies the old Smugglers Inn building. Excellent wines and simple but good Tapas. Iris (from Austria) one of the two managers gives excellent advice on the wines and is a charming lady. Although not cheap Vinha is a great venue to spend a couple of hours chatting to the other patrons and the staff. Best seat is at the street end of the bar looking out of the open window. The demise of the old 'Smugglers Inn' seems to be a loss to regulars to Burgau however Vinha is carving it's own niche. A different style of venue from the rest of the village it is certainly worh a visit.

Great bar, great staff. Visited with Family and Friends for drinks on more than one occasion. Saturday night with live music was a fun night out, great atmosphere. Looking forward to our next trip in May 18.

Sorry can’t help here I think maybe not as the Beach Bar is closed and I think they are owned by the same family.
