About Marginal
Marginal is a late-night club in Funchal, Port
Doors open late and the floor fills after midnight, proper late-night territory. Cover charges are rare except on big-event nights; drinks are priced for the venue, not the neighbourhood.
Marginal is one room inside the Vespas Club complex on Avenida Sá Carneiro, which also houses the Vespas and Jam rooms. The room only opens Friday and Saturday late nights.
What to know before you go
- Friday–Saturday 23:00–08:00 only. Closed all other days.
- Walking distance from most central hotels; the harbour-front promenade is the safest late-night route back.
Best time to visit
Year-round. Friday and Saturday are the peak nights; Sunday through Wednesday are much quieter.
