Small, friendly bar with a large selection of fresh poncha! Ideal for having a good time after the restaurant or while waiting for the nightclubs to open

The only place we had to be disappointed in was an impolite, inattentive waiter.

I would like to tell the bartender with glasses who feels he is the best on the planet, to buy himself a little humility which he has none. Ridiculous. Learn to work

I ordered a tangerine punch and it reeked of vodka. I went to talk to the staff and only then did they tell me that they make these "ponchas" with vodka.

Now what I ordered was a poncha, and the poncha recipe is with sugar cane spirit. If I wanted a tangerine vodka I wouldn't need to come to Madeira.

I hadn't even touched the tangerine vodka they served me when I discovered it had vodka, and they didn't even offer to serve a poncha with sugarcane spirit, which I think is the minimum required for anyone who knows what a real poncha is.

Unfortunately, this place seems to have turned into a tourist trap and I don't recommend it to anyone who really likes ponchas.

To the arrogant waiter who served me, all I wish is that on the day I go to a restaurant and order octopus à lagareiro, I would be served a pota well drizzled with sunflower oil.

This time I felt deceived. I've been coming to this bar for over 8 years and I've never been sold a pig in a poke. Well, I wasn't surprised when I now ask for a poncha (and ponchas are drinks made with brandy), and they serve me with vodka. This without notifying the customer! This is a disappointment for those who enjoy poncha, because if it is made with vodka it becomes another different drink and cannot be called poncha. When I complained, they didn't rectify it either.

the poncha is not made from fresh juices, we did not get peanuts while everyone in the place got them with their drinks

Visited this quirky bar as we walked around the old town and tried a couple of local drinks. Nice place.

The drinks were good, however the service was terrible, the employee was super arrogant and unwilling to serve.

The worst poncha I ever drank on the island. Just chemicals, no fruit
