Nightlife is increasingly focused in the city of Funchal and not so much in the hotels as it used to be. From folk dancing to DJ sets and house music, you have enough to choose from. Don’t forget to try local drinks such as the “Poncha à pescador.”
Café do Teatro (Teatro Baltazar Dias)
Also known as the Teatro Municipal, the theatre is the main focus of the island’s artistic and cultural life, presenting a regular programme of concerts, DJ sets, dance and theatre.
Cais do Carvão Café
One of Funchal’s most illustrious night clubs.
Vespas
Long-established favourite disco on Madeira, featuring club and house music.
Bar Number Two
Mandatory for all night-clubbers visiting Funchal.
Discoteca Copacabana – (casino Da Madeira)
Housed in a striking building – designed by the famous architect Oscar Niemeyer – the casino offers French and American roulette, Black Jack, chemin-de-fer and racks of slot machines. The Copacabana discotheque is one of the liveliest spots in Funchal for dancing.
