Drank a beer and supported a junior football club at the same time. Watched the world walk by from an open window. Just a good old drinking establishment with great prices.

I found this bar when visiting 4 years ago, this is my favourite bar, we would visit most nights. Very good local beer. Especial, Bottled Munich. Good selection of spirits. We like the lively atmosphere, the local people drinking in there have always been great, join in the atmosphere.

Great little place for a beer (1€) and a burger (2.5€). Fantastic…and maybe the best french fries on the island! Tiago was bartender, cook, barista and overall friendly guy. A “hidden gem” if there ever was one, lol. And yes, you read the prices correctly (May 2023 visit) Sorry about the pic..forgot to take until almost done.

Dirt cheap drinks and small bites to support CUM - a local Soccer team. Price of drinks range from 1€ beers to 3€ cocktails and beer mugs. They also serve local liqueur shots for 1€. This small place can get crowded in the evenings, but at these prices people just take their drinks and hangout on the (mostly) pedestrian street. Definitely a nice place to mingle with locals.
