Beerhouse brews on the São Lázaro pier in Funchal, pouring its own beer beside a marina terrace and a kitchen of fish and regional Madeiran plates.
Tip: The terrace faces the marina and the cruise berth, so it fills fast on cruise days.

Funchal Taproom keeps a rotating European craft list on Rua Direita, the closest thing Funchal has to a dedicated beer bar, with Mexican food.
Tip: Closed Mondays and it shuts by 22:00 most nights, so it is an early-evening stop.
