Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Sally BLondon, UK9 contributionsTelly great place, danced all night!
Fab food, great staff serving
The staff when you first check in could act a bit more friendly, we were not asked to bring ID, luckily we had a photo of our passport pageWritten 9 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We had good drinks and the food was also good.
This was our second visit and will definitely returnWritten 23 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

But I have to be honest that my main problem with the place was the type of music. Downstairs was 100% grunge. Upstairs was a DJ playing terrible music that I guess maybe could technically be called rock. But they do draw a crowd that seems to enjoy it.
They tick most of the boxes on safety and service from my experience. Food was edible, bouncers seemed watchful but not aggressive. Waitresses were attentive and polite mostly. There is a minimum consumption per ticket, so make sure you distribute your orders evenly over both tickets if you are a couple.
Make a reservation and arrive around 9 if you want a table and dont like standing in line to enter.
I wouldn't call this a Rock Bar . . . unless maybe you refer to it as a Grunge Rock Bar.
I would not go back, but only because I disliked the music so much.Written 21 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The owner could explain a lot about the different beers and they were all very tasty.
Rio needed a place like this, hip, cozy great for having a drink with friends and with a selection of food.
The owner kindly offered some new appetizer he was trying out.
I would deffintly recommend this placeWritten 20 September 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We enjoyed music so much!!! (Bossa, samba, choro) so many locals go there.
What a historical place with pure joy of music. Who cares about services!!!
Some nights we could not drink any more, but we wanted to support the existence of that place, we tipped in.
Hope they last forever for generations after generations!!!!!Written 26 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Feyne Allday JPerth, Australia148 contributionsStayed in Rio for 22 days and went out most nights and honestly feel as though I'm qualified enough to say this is by far the best night out Rio has to offer.
The location is slightly far so you want to go with friends. Split the uber.
Entry to this amazing club is only 20 rial.
To go upper levels its an additional 20 but tbh there was a way better atmosphere at the bottom, more dancing, less pretentious people haha
Drinks are unbelievably cheap here so a good night is ensured. 2 rial for a beer or vodka.
The DJs play decent music too not just constant samba or funk.
Highly recommended if in Rio and want the real Brazilian experienceWritten 23 June 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Florin NHaifa, Israel51 contributionsDuring our weeklong stay in Rio (first time) we enjoyed three times the evening at Beco das Garrafas. The highlight of the place is the live music, each time there was a different band of singers and musicians, all very excellent.
Food and drinks are ok, do not expect too much.Written 6 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Igor GFlorianopolis, SC90 contributionsPlace with the best view of rio de janeiro!!
Pros:
Awesome view and atmosphere
Excellent food
Freezing beer
Delicous feijoada
Cons:
Get there (kombi or motoboy)
Nothing to complain about. Totally worth it!!Written 30 April 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - DizzyBlonde23Halifax, UK504 contributionsVisited as part of a bar tour of Lapa.
Was busy but had a great atmosphere with good samba band and music. Had a simple Caipirinha which wasn’t the cheapest we had in Rio but worth it for the music and atmosphere.
Bar staff and the band were friendly.
Even tried our hand at dancing Samba which was a laugh!
Would recommend visiting if part of a group but if travelling alone may get a bit lost in the crowd!Written 29 September 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Eduardo SucupiraRio de Janeiro, RJ170 contributionsFor an exclusive experience, a night at this house is extraordinary. The program is always a must! The place is situated at the heart of Lapa besides the world known attraction Arcos da Lapa. The atmosphere from more than 30 years is part of the soul of Rio de Janeiro art and music scene!Written 24 March 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Navigator4340001 contributionThey don't tell you the correct prices for drinks until you are ready to pay at the end. they told me the drinks cost $35 each but they were $140 each.The girls order Drinks that are expensive even though there there is little to no alcohol in it. They then lock you in the venue until you pay the tab they con you in too or threaten to call the police on you. I would not recommend this place to any one as it is a tourist trap. I should have known something was wrong as there were only about 7 other customers in the venue.Written 21 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- wht1Manchester, UK205 contributionsWe were taken there by Brazilian friends who heard about it from a friend of theirs who lives in Rio. We would not have stayed in the area after dark without the local knowledge, because it looked quite earthy. We travelled to and from our hotel by taxi, and once our friends negotiated a table, we had a fantastic couple of hours there. The band was excellent and there was good food and drink. The atmosphere was very, very relaxed, with mainly full of local people, in couples or groups. Highly recommended.Written 15 February 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Igor M19 contributionsFirst, there aren't any kind of sign mentioning its name. But, if you go there on a Friday ou Saturday, you'll recognize by finding a crowded place, full of nice and fun people in front of it, in the side and in the back of the bar. There are burgers with great ingredients and some snacks. Few options of food, but lots of options to drink. Takes a long time to have your food, but the taste and environment are totally worth it.Written 26 September 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
