What a lovely family friendly bar. Owner Bruno and his staff are amazing and make you feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend.

--- Dearest gentle readers, It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you of an establishment that has recently left me most disappointed. The Blue Star Karaoke Bar, promising a night of frivolity and melodic revelry, fell gravely short of even the most modest expectations. The evening began on a sour note as my companions and I were informed that participation in their karaoke required the purchase of a shot. While one might tolerate such a stipulation, it certainly sets an unpleasant tone for the night. Undeterred, we acquiesced, eager to share our voices with the seemingly empty bar. Imagine our dismay when, after our first song, we were left to wait an interminable length of time for our next turn. Despite the bar being nearly deserted, the staff displayed a remarkable indifference to our plight. The dance floor beckoned, and soon our merriment drew the attention of a few gentlemen, and the bar began to fill—not due to the bar's allure, but our own infectious spirit. And yet, this newfound busyness seemed to be a concept lost on the staff. They claimed the delay in our turn was due to the increasing activity, a situation directly attributable to our own presence. The irony, dear readers, was not lost on us. When finally our song was set to play, we were informed it would be the last of the evening. Prepared to make the most of it, we took the stage, only to have our moment stolen away. An audacious lady of the staff saw fit to rip the microphone from our hands, and to add insult to injury, she began to sing our song—none other than "Diamonds" by our queen, Rihanna. In conclusion, the Blue Star Karaoke Bar is a stage better left empty. One can only hope that the management tunes their approach, lest they find themselves singing to an ever-dwindling audience. Yours in disillusionment, Lady Whistledown ---

Bruno, Emily and the rest of the staff couldn’t do more for you. The place is sooo cheap. €3 for a pint of local beer. It doesn’t matter what football match you want to watch. If you ask, they’ll probably be able to get it on for you. I asked for the Celtic game, which is difficult for bars in the UK to display, never mind Portugal. Honestly, if you’re making a trip to Albufeira. Check this place out!!!

We had a wonderful time here watching the rugby here. Ireland got hammered by the Welsh. The welsh fans in the pub were very good about it. We had a bit of banter with them. We had a yummy sandwich while we were there. The staff were really great, good fun.
