Read Carol's newsletter where she shares her experiences, and you can also see some lovely pictures of the new Bote.

Went there a couple of times this last week.

The decor downstairs is really extraordinary (check out the picture link from the July Newsletter), upstairs is a lot like the Nicci Beach style, except the staff here is a lot friendlier. Upstairs outside terrace is the smoking area.

The music varies over the evening and event nights will have DJs or live music preformances, but it is mostly calm, chilled out sound.

Prices are on par with what you would expect for location and style, €2.50 for a 0,33 Sagres - no complaints. (except the first Martini they served me, that was too small but the second made up for it.

)

I gather they are going to work as a snack bar in the afternoons, but I have not been to see for myself yet.

Thanks for the info guys.

So I take it the kitchen is not open in the evening / night? Thought I heard something about serving tapas?

I thought the place was really nice and the terrace upstairs lovely. However the music was neither chilled or calm it was so loud we couldnt hear each other and gave up talking. I thought the place looked like it was aimed for a more mature audience

but the music was geared for 16 to 18 year olds. Will give it another go though just incase that was a one off as they have made a lovely job of it.

We went in with some friends and it was really loud we couldnt hear each other, so we left on way out bouncers told us over 18 s only and had to have id, but some friends went in about 2 the same night and they ranged from 15 to 19 anf they all just walked in....

It is very nice inside and sure it will do well

I am not so sure about that, reading some comments here.

We went there with 4 on a wednesdaynight some weeks ago, only to find it closed...

Having read some remarks here, I am not sure whether we will try again some night.

What I mean is it will do well as all the younger people will go after 1 as the friends said it was really good, they all drank beer which they said was reasonable
