BAR DA LAPA

Very traditional, the Bar da Lapa is a must for those who want to know the soul of the eponymous district. If the festive Lapa district, the heart of the city's nightlife, has lost its "sambiste" soul and been transformed into an electro atmosphere, the beautiful historic building housing the bar remains a mecca for samba raiz and pagoda. The beer is served well chilled, in keeping with local tradition, the petiscos are excellent and the service very professional. The nights, with the sound of excellent samba bands, are festive, the crowd large and happy and the place very safe.
