There are many bars in Rio de Janeiro, many of them come and go, but the following ten have been around for ages and are considered as a significant part of the city’s heritage.
Let’s kick things off with the Bar Brasil, Lapa - opened in 1907, you’ll find high ceilings, white tablecloths, white-washed walls, and old-school bow-tied waiters. During lunchtime, the bar is invaded by businessmen while at night you’ll find a younger crowd. We’d recommend ordering the veal sausage or the smoked chicken.
Next, we find the Azul Marinho, Arpoador, Ipanema - go there for the best view of the sunset. Grab an outdoor table and enjoy the view. A little bit more expensive than other bars, but it is certainly worth it. The bar/restaurant specializes in seafood so we’d advise you to order the moqueca, which is a seafood stew cooked in palm oil and coconut milk.
Jobi, Leblon - here you will find probably the best chopp (light, refreshing draught beer that is served with a creamy head in tall glasses). It is situated two blocks away from the beach in Leblon. We advise you to order the camarao (prawn) variety, or the feijoada and the caldo de feijao. The latter is a salty broth skimmed off the top of the beans.
Our fourth recommendation is the Bracarense, Leblon, which is small and nondescript, but certainly a place to go if you are a drinker. They have just about anything that you can imagine: cold beer, excellent snacks, good service and many more. You should order the salgadinhos, which is a fried cassava, or the pernil (pork sandwich).
The Bar do Mineiro, Santa Teresa is a lively and friendly joint with old black & white photos of the city on one wall, and bright colorful paintings right above the bar. It is known as being the home of Brazil’s best cachaca, which is a sugar cane spirit. If you happen to visit it, make sure that you order the deep-fried bean pasties (minipasteis de feijao).
Bar do Gomez in Santa Teresa has high ceilings and old photos on the walls. What to eat? Anything they have as the entire menu is simply delicious.
Bar Urca is all about the exquisite view, and the great salgadinhos. It is located in a very peaceful area off the beaten track, close to Rio’s naval base. We’d recommend ordering the siri (crab) or the pastel de camarao (fried prawn pasty).
Cervantes is in Copacabana and it is a 56-year-old-bar where things are just about the same as they were back in the day. Its counter is bulging with big beef fillets and legs of ham and pork. Standing room only. Order the sanduiche de pernil com abacaxi (pork sandwich with pineapple).
Last but certainly not least, visit the Bar Lagoa, a gorgeous art deco bar with pink marble walls and a small balcony. Expect to find grumpy and indolent waiters, but they are part of the bar’s so-called “charm”. Make sure that you order a steak sandwich, it’s delicious.
