Bars, the carioca soul
If there is something that sums it up well, the carioca style is the bar. More than the beaches, and thinking about it, one complements and connects the other. After all, nothing better than ending a sunny day and sea with music, beer, snacks and the best of all: friends around a good table or standing, in a light way like every carioca. Here, it is very common to make friends you meet in a bar and seem eternal, and with a look that never fails to inspire. It’s them, the bars that represent the spirit of the city, with cold drinks and much fun!
