One of the standout features of The Cool Cod is how well it caters to sports fans, especially those passionate about Horse racing, GAA and Rugby. Whether you’re backing your county in the All-Ireland Championship or just want to catch a Premier League match or Six Nations fixture, there’s nothing quite like being surrounded by like-minded fans, cold creamy pint in hand, cheering for your team or horse in a friendly, buzzing atmosphere.

But The Cool Cod isn’t just a haven for sports lovers. The cosy and welcoming setting makes it equally perfect for a more relaxed evening. The interiors strike a perfect balance between stylish and comfortable, with soft lighting, intimate seating areas, and an overall vibe that makes you want to settle in for the night. The bar staff go above and beyond to ensure everyone feels at home—the hospitality here is second to none and it’s the only Irish-owned bar in Vilamoura where the Irish hospitality shines. You’re always greeted with a smile, and it’s clear the team genuinely enjoy what they do.

What truly sets The Cool Cod apart, though, are its regular themed parties, which have become something of a local legend. From the lively 80s nights filled with classic tunes and neon outfits to private birthday, day 2 wedding parties and my personal favourite the Giant Jenga competitions which are a hoot!! There’s always something on the calendar to look forward to. These events are well-organised, full of energy, and attract a great crowd, both tourists and locals’ expats alike.

Whether you’re here for a sports match, a party, or just a laid-back drink with friends, The Cool Cod hits the mark every time. With its mix of top-notch hospitality, Cocktails, best draft in town, vibrant social scene, and a real sense of community, it’s no surprise that this bar has become a firm favourite and local for the vast expat residents in Vilamoura. Highly recommended!!
