Where Funchal drinks local: brewpubs, taprooms and the new wave.
Taprooms, brewpubs and the local beer scene in Funchal worth taking a tram to.
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.
TipThe 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.
TipClosed Mondays and it shuts by 22:00 most nights, so it is an early-evening stop.
