Tiny as a matchbox, the name of this underground nightclub is easy to explain ( fosforo means match in Portuguese). Electronic music is very well represented here. It’s a good place to go if you are somewhere else and want to continue the party as the scene start very, very late, sometimes at 2am.

It's a good place to have a beer, relax and enjoy great - and free!- music. Very local place, you can feel a little of the carioca's style. You can find different types of people, what make a very rich culture place. If you want to get to know a little more about Brazilian music, São Salvador is a nice first step.

This long-time Copacabana’s favorite occupies a kind of weird location right in front of a Police Station. Run by two Portuguese sisters, food here is quite serious. Drop by for a beer or a caipirinha, chat on the street and make new friends. There are 2 bars, quite the same, one in front of the other.

Ok, you certainly didn't come to Rio to find a memorable burger. And the place is full of hipsters who are around 25 years old. But who cares? They serve 3 or 4 kinds of burgers, the famous one is the Pala burger: meat seasoned with dark beer plus cheese and home-made sauce. And from the new menu try the X-Wilson, a tribute to the security guy.

Besides decor - the tacky brazillian flag on the ceiling is kinda cute - Academia is the place for a well balanced feijoada washed with caipirinhas made of several local fruits like pitanga, siriguela, limão-galego and the most traditional one, the lemmon version.

See the sunset in Bar Urca is one of the things locals like most. They can brag about the beauty of the view while drinking beers and eating traditional bar foods. There is no better option after a day in the beach than going to Bar Urca for that experience. You can also go to the second floor to the restaurant without missing the outstanding view.

With an French accent as It’s run by 3 French guys, they do serve reasonably-priced wine and of course, as we are in Rio, beer. Try Ipanema from another point of view: Have a sit in one of the sidewalk tables from this unpretentious bar and enjoy the friendly vibe.

It's for sure best samba in town. Where you can really feel and experience what the traditional samba is, what is not shown in carnival and television. Where you can see people celebrating life, singing, and dancing in the streets with all the joy and freedom. Excellent place to enjoy good music, drink some beers and experience brazilian culture.
