Night Life and night clubs in Santa Maria, SalPirata Night Club Santa MariaNight life is imited in Santa Maria although many of the hotels put on displays of local dance and some restaurants play live music. Pirata is not recomended. M from Lancs felt he was ripped off"Went into Pirata - one of the few discos in town. It costs €6 for a small bottle of beer - only had one! They stamp a card and you pay on your way out; so be aware of that one! Tourists have one card locals another, with different prices. "P from London felt that it was not a place for young women."We went to Pirates the night club one night and apart from the lovely Cape Verdean dancing show this place is not for the faint hearted. Unless you are young and fairly wise to the ways of the locals and the immigrants I would avoid it (I would also avoid the tequila shots in there)!"Funana Baris owned by Walther, a Bavarian and his Cape Verdean wife. It is a cafe and restaurant that has live music on Friday and Saturday evenings. It is near the main square and serves some Cape Verde dishes. Service can be very slow. J&T from London liked the music better than the restaurant."We didn't get a chance to check out the nightclubs but we had a fun night at Funana which included traditional singing and dancing as well as a cameo appearance from an impressive 12 year old sax player who was fantastic although we must stress the food and service wasn't great! This happens every Friday and Saturday."Cafe OneBuilt next to a brewery. a tall building on the outskirts of Santa Maria, it belongs to Steffannina, the Italian godfather of the island.Most reports do not rate the beer which carries his own name. Be very careful to safeguard your entry ticket or you will have real problems.
