There’s something gathering momentum here in Rio de Janeiro’s street bar scene! Sure, bars like Belmonte and Jobi are winning with the tried and tested 1950s formula of ice cold chopps and Brazilian bar snacks, but they better watch out. The days of the traditional boteco are fading and in their place is arising the hottest new trend in Rio nightlife. The concept draws from Carioca’s love of informal street drinking but mixes it with a something new and different.
