About Barreirinha Bar Café
Barreirinha Bar Café is a open-air beach/seafront bar in Funchal
The Atlantic is metres away, so the soundtrack is waves and the dress code is beach-cover-up. These bars work best for a late-afternoon beer that turns into sunset, food is usually simple (toasties, burgers, grilled fish) and the atmosphere is unhurried.

Frequently asked
Is Barreirinha Bar Café good for poncha?
Barreirinha Bar Café serves poncha alongside its main offer, but for a dedicated poncha experience head to a traditional poncha bar in Câmara de Lobos or Funchal's Old Town.
How late does Barreirinha Bar Café stay open?
Barreirinha Bar Café is open Sunday–Thursday 09:00–00:00. Friday–Saturday 09:00–01:00.
Does Barreirinha Bar Café have outdoor seating?
Yes, there are tables outside, and they are the first to go once the sun drops.
Is there a dress code at Barreirinha Bar Café?
Casual. Smart-casual is more than enough for bars and rooftops, Madeira nightlife rarely turns anyone away on what they're wearing. Upscale restaurant dining rooms are a separate case: a jacket and closed shoes are expected there, though a tie is rarely required.
