What to do and see in Funchal, Madeira Islands: The Best Bars & Clubs

December 22, 2021 Janette Largent

Funchal, the capital of the Madeira archipelago, was declared a city in the 1500s, and became an important point between the old and new worlds. The laid-back city owes much of its historical prominence to "white gold," Madeiran sugar. Today Funchal is known for its appealing temperatures, wine and crafts. Top spots to visit include the open Worker's Market, Blandy's Wine Lodge and the Sacred Art Museum. Friendly locals, walkable streets and cheap taxis make the city easy to get around.

Great place. Owner is friendly and offers plenty of advice on the various choices. Some nice rums. Also has wine and other local drinks, including the genuine fisherman's poncha, freshly made. Mid week December, and not overcrowded so plenty of space to sit. Great owner who makes you feel welcome and having spent some time here presented a fantastic photo since he used to be photographer. Genuine nice bloke. Will definitely visit again. Thanks again.

We’ve just returned home from our second visit to Funchal and the Revolucion Rock Bar! This place is amazing ! The location is fantastic right in the heart of the old town , the homemade poncha is the best on the island I’ve tasted and made with a lot of love ! But the cocktails are something else - I’ve never had a cocktail made with so much love and the thought and hard work that goes into them cannot be replicated - if you like cocktails you must have the custom and tell Thelma what alcohol and fruits you like and you will be presented with a piece of art that looks too good to drink ( but tastes much better ) . The service in this bar is second to none and Thelma and Miguel make you feel like you are with old friends and we will definitely be back to see them soon I hope !

Hole in One

Lido area in Madeira - very popular with tourists

Reviewed By lisasimpson1 - Bournemouth, United Kingdom

I stayed at Pestana Royal Ocean Spa but there's not much going on in that area. This place is half way to the old town. Typical bar food, large outdoor area and live music every night. Great cocktails and plenty of staff on hand for table service with complimentary crisps to nibble on.
