4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 March 2012

For those who appreciate the Brasilian Popular Music, this place offers a variety of presentations. Very simple menu, wine list pratically nonexistent which was expected as it is a bar whose name is Brahma, which is a brand of Brasilian beer. More

This is one of the oldest restaurant in town. It serve very good food, nostalgic ambiance, and soft music. It is in downtown and you may need to get a taxi to reach there and to come back. Be careful with the surroundings areas of the restaurant, it can be dangerous. More

Starting at 12am you can experience the best Feijoada in Brazil followed by caipirinhas, brazillian samba and beautiful people. A bit overpriced (around USD 70 including drinks per person) but worth the visit as this is perhaps the most traditional place in Sao Paulo. More

On 1 November 2011 my wife and I went to Bar Brahma Avenue São João to know this traditional tourist attraction of São Paulo, but what a disappointment: the waiters, taking advantage of the crowds, went wrong the bill by charging in double for drinks that we did not consume. Here's a warning: check carefully your account, because they make... More

If you want to go to a bar scene for Brazilian music , have fun. Ask for a nice cold chopp and appetizers, but be prepared for lazy and screaming service. The food deserves no mention. The Brazilian music styles, samba , pagode and bossa nova are at 2 different sallons, and the outdoor seats (very hot on sunny days.... More

In an old part of town, Bar Brahma was recommended to us at the hotel as a great venue to see live Brazilian music, Samba etc. It was quite disappointing. The food quality was extremely poor. I would recommend that you give the Stroganoff a big miss. My wife played it safe and ordered the steak and cheese sandwich which... More

Overpriced, but very traditional and a must do for tourists who like Bossa Nova (who will understand what it means to be at crossroads between Av Ipiranga and Sao Joao) More

I have lunched there several times. Has a good menu, is an excellent location (in the corner of São João and Ipiranga, remembering Caetano Veloso famous song). Has a very good chopp. Considering that "centro velho" is getting poor of good places, this one is very good. More
