We have visited every year since it opened in 2017 for a nightcap or two after eating in town. Roberto always makes you feel welcome, is very 'rum' knowledgeable, and will listen to your rum stories.
The menu of cocktails makes for a tasty drink and is reasonably priced, and with excellent music played it makes for a very relaxing evening
See you next year

If you like rum or want to try some local products you have to pay a visit.

Visited twice this week, first we tried the rum tasting flight, superb range and explanations, the owner is happy to give more information about each rum and the producers, the premium comes with snacks to balance and enhance the flavours of rums .
After the tasting we wanted some further recommendations to finish the evening and they were perfect choices.
So good we came back for more .
The place has so much character, huge variety of products and the DJ plays classic tracks on the vinyl too.
Pure quality in products , service and atmosphere. Highly highly recommended !

Friendly place. Good vibe. Tables out and inside. We had our first taste of rum. We chose the standard tasting flight ( there is also a premium flight snd a flavoured rum flight).
The rums were explained and then we just had to kick back and enjoy each one!

Would definitely recommend visiting this place at the east end of the old town

Several of us visited this establishment, and to say we were disappointed would be an understatement. The primary issue was the staff. The young man serving us—or rather, not serving us—was particularly problematic. It took multiple attempts just to get his attention to order our taster menu, even though we selected the most expensive option. He showed no interest in explaining the rums and seemed more concerned with chatting to his friends at another table. Additionally, a young woman at the desk was listening to music on her headphones when we wanted to pay. Overall, it was a very poor showing. In all my years visiting Madeira, I have never experienced service this bad.

I had found this bar via a google search prior to travelling to Madeira and it was on our 'must do' list. We left it until our last evening (fortunately), were made very welcome, our drinks arrived promptly and the whole ambience was extremely pleasant. However, at around 11pm our waiter came to the table and said he hoped he didn't offend me but had something to say - I assumed he was going to tell us that they would be closing soon. Oh NO, he said that both himself and his girlfriend had been overweight and he gave me a handwritten note detailing a diet he felt I should try - maybe the effects of the rum cocktail had numbed my brain but I initially didn't take offence and just laughed it off. BUT, it gets worse ............... whilst the waiter was still at our table, the manager or owner came over and asked him (in English) to go to the supermarket in the morning and get some cheap cigars as 'they will never know if they are Cuban or not'. That I must say is taking the mickey and we will definitely not be back, which is a great shame as we purposely stay and dine in the Zona Velha and prefer to frequent the smaller, local, and we assume privately operated establishments.

I loved this place and went back for successive nights. It's a great, cool little spot at the end of the main restaurant road. The owner makes superb poncha's, the local cocktail, the best in town, and plays great music at just the right volume. He has a wide range of rum and other drinks; overall it's a tasty establishment with a wonderful ambiance perfect for making you smile and feel 'aaaaah I am on my holidays'. Suitable for any age. My thanks to Roberto for helping to make our trip special.

Great little place to have a rum taster (a bit pricey) or a poncha. Limited nibbles but the cheese and olives works. Great music spilling out into the street, very atmospheric. Friendly waiter from Nepal, excellent English. Obrigada!

What a great place! Best poncha on the island for sure, and we tried many, and would definitely recommend the rum tasting board. You get 4 different rums to try for I think 15 euros. The waiter totally knew his stuff, and gave great information about the different rums on offer. It had such a chilled out ambience too, with great music and lovely people. A great place to try for sure.

Me and my boyfriend visited this place in the beginning of March, and it was amazing. The owner was super nice, told us so much history of rums, provided us with a great premium tasting, with Madeiran rum and also snacks that go with each rum, it was so tasteful. He also told us some history about cigars and helped us with making this amazing photo.

By far the best poncha I had on Madeira, super friendly and knowledgeable owner, excellent Madeiran rums. I definitely recommend the premium tasting - 4 limited edition rums paired with snacks. A true delight for every rum aficionado.
And great music to accompany all of this ... a great place to chill in the evening.
