The best bars in Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro’s nightlife is legendary. After a long day at the beach or sightseeing around the Marvelous City, there is nothing better than sipping cold drinks at hot bars and clubs around town. A night out in Rio de Janeiro can be anything you want it to be. Whether you fancy a beach bar or an establishment overlooking the city from a high-rise hotel, Rio de Janeiro’s bar scene does not disappoint.
BipBip
BipBip is the ideal bar for tourists seeking a laid-back venue to drink beer and cocktails. Known as a pe-sujo, BipBip has been a bar for blue-collar workers since it opened. The reason BipBip is so popular with locals and a tourist drinking destination is due to its authenticity. BipBip offers a natural cool, chic atmosphere that chain bars and restaurants around the globe would kill for. You can enjoy nightly samba music sessions while grabbing your own beers from the bar’s fridge. The owner of BipBip will simply keep track of each beer you drink on a pad of paper.
Armazem Sao Thiago (aka Bar do Gomez)
Armazem Sao Thiago has changed little since it opened nearly a century ago as a bar and grocery store. The building that Armazem Sao Thiago is located in offers a rustic charm that is a throwback to the early 1900s in Brazil. Along with cold beers and Caipirinha, you can find delicious sandwiches and bar snacks inside. Originally opened by a Spanish family who immigrated to Brazil, the modern menu still reflects the tapas-style food that was served at Armazem Sao Thiago when it opened.
Bar Urca
If you like sipping cocktails close to the beach, then Bar Urca is the ideal destination for you. Located in the Urca neighborhood, the bar overlooks Guanabra Bay. The waters lapping onto the shore can be heard from the bar offering a hypnotizing atmosphere as you sip beers. One of the best places to sit at Bar Urca is across the street where stools and chairs line up against a wall. Bar goers sit at the wall using it as a table as they look out into the bay and watch the boats come and go.
Skylab at Rio Othon Palace
Situated on the 30th floor of the Rio Othon Palace, you will find the amazing views provided by Skylab. This trendy bar at the top of the hotel offers an unparalleled look at Rio de Janeiro. The bar has an open-air terrace that gives you the chance to sip cocktails under the stars and above the hustle and bustle of the Marvelous City down below. Skylab’s classic cocktail menu is accompanied by French and Brazilian foods perfect for a special night out.
Jobi
Located in the Leblon area of Rio de Janeiro, Jobi is well-known as one of the city’s best botecos. The informal bar serves up snacks and other menu items to hungry patrons. One of the best reasons to visit Jobi is its late-night opening hours. While other botecos close early, Jobi stays open with draught beer being served to all comers. Beer, cocktails, coffee, and food are all staples on the menu at Jobi and that is why it attracts locals and tourists throughout the day and night.
