Boteco & Bars
Good places to have a caipirinha, cachaça or just a coldish beer while meet new friends
If you are going to visit Lapa, this is the best place to have a really good Cachaça!!
It is a really small place where there is no table or chairs. People go there because of the differents flavors of Brazilians cachaças.
It's a good place to meet new local friends, talk, and warm up for the night!
