I visited this wonder in 2014 and still dream about it. A truly unique experience to be had in Rio. Grab a drink and listen to musicians come together to make music. My favorite part was the owner, who will shush loud passerby’s to make sure the music is respected. Unforgettable!

Charming little hole in the wall where local musicians come to play and have a good time. The place is so small you stand on the sidewalk with others enjoying the music and swinging to the beat. I wish I spoke Portuguese so I could sing along, it really doesn't matter because the music and energy are international.

A local place to enjoy a cold beer and music! don’t speak while you listen!

Interesting and different kind of music venue. Musicians come together to perform at this tiny bar. Luck of the draw on the kind of music that is performed on the night. It was folksy music with flute, guitars and mandolin when I went. Not quite what I was expecting in Rio but it only cost me 31 Reals for the 4 beers and water so not much to complain about. Things kickoff after 9pm at the earliest.

A traditional samba place that you can't sing loud and you can't clap. No one will serve you. You serve yourself. No cards accepted. Grumpy owner but loved one. It's just an unique place. Must go. Only open for evening. Best days are Thursday to Sundays. But Mondays are also good. No chairs and no tables. No food served. Just samba and beer.
