Fun and entertainment Sal

This is Santa Maria's newest unusual and somewhat hidden address. As its name suggests, the Neshisha has an oriental air, with El Badia hookahs on every table, but you don't have to succumb to tobacco if you're not a fan. You can just as easily go there to sip a delicious caipirinha from the cocktail menu, or to listen to good music with friends, in all simplicity, in this very friendly place with exotic fragrances. And why not try a new experience?

It's THE place to be for tourists and locals alike, a very popular bar where live music is played almost every night. One of the best atmospheres in town and the ideal spot to sway to the rhythm of funana or kizomba. Large choice of beers, colorful cocktails and elaborate wine list, the opportunity to taste the famous wine of Fogo. The decoration is cleverly studied and the cards made with Cape Verdean license plates. A cheerful and involved team will seduce you for a memorable evening.

There's no need to don a James Bond-style tuxedo to enter the Casino Royal, just come and enjoy its relaxed, entertaining atmosphere. Created to cater for everyone's gaming tastes, there are eleven tables for blackjack, roulette, poker, Texas Hold'em and the indispensable slot machines, also numerous and of the latest generation... A modern and relatively recent casino (opened in 2017) where you can spend a pleasant and atypical evening. And who knows, if you're lucky, you'll hit the jackpot!

A panoramic terrace overlooking the main street of Santa Maria, with a bar that plays mainly reggae music. Fans of this Jamaican musical expression will not be disappointed. Bands play regularly, and African music is in full swing at One Love, with the sound of drums and other percussion. However, if the enthusiasm is not there, it is better to pass, because the place is a little too roots, nothing abnormal considering the type of atmosphere. Let's get together and feel all right !

On the lively street opposite the church, this is one of Santa Maria's legendary bars. The show is everywhere, inside and out. Famous for its happy hour every evening, this pub is ideal for an early or late-night drink, to the sound of a variety of musical styles, from salsa to pop rock. The large outdoor terrace is pleasant, and the interior design is original, with sailboards hanging on the walls. The establishment closes early in the morning, but late at night the atmosphere can become peculiar due to its dubious patronage.

In the main pedestrian street where the downtown bars are located, the Chill Out Café, all in white, provides a chill and lounge atmosphere. You can sit on the pleasant terrace or choose to blend in with the highly designed interior. Perfect for an aperitif or a drink with friends until late at night or simply to calm a small hunger. A snack formula is on the menu (nachos, bocadillos) but vegetarians will be won over by the menu designed for them too.
