Beerhouse Madeira

Beerhouse Madeira is a brewpub and restaurant on the São Lázaro pier (Pontão de São Lázaro), beside the marina in Funchal, on the island of Madeira, Portugal. It pours its own house-brewed beer, which is the first of its two signature items, and pairs it with a Portuguese menu of seafood and grilled dishes, including the fish of the day. The marina-front terrace is the main draw, offering views over the moored boats and the harbour, and the setting makes it a popular place for a drink after a stroll along the waterfront promenade. Rated about 4.1 out of 5, it sits in the moderate price bracket. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, mixing visitors from cruise ships and nearby hotels with local diners, and there is no dress code. Noise levels are those of a busy waterfront terrace, livelier on summer evenings and weekends. Beer is the notable beverage programme here, in a city better known for Madeira wine, so the venue offers a contrast for visitors who want a craft-beer stop. The restaurant is open daily from 11:00AM to 11:00PM, with no midday closure, which suits all-day grazing, a late lunch, or an early evening drink and meal. The telephone number is +351 291 229 011 and the website is beerhouse.pt. No firm reservation guidance is available, so booking ahead for groups and for terrace tables at sunset is a sensible precaution. The pier location puts it within walking distance of the old town, the cathedral and the cable-car station, making it easy to include in a day of sightseeing in central Funchal.
