Nestled in the vibrant heart of Lapa, Rio de Janeiro, **Boteco da Garrafa** is more than just a bar; it's an experience that encapsulates the spirit of Brazilian culture. This laid-back establishment, housed in a beautifully renovated mansion, invites you to indulge in a variety of Brazilian snacks and a curated selection of both domestic and imported beers. The atmosphere is electric, with live samba music filling the air, creating a perfect backdrop for a memorable evening with friends or a romantic date.

At Boteco da Garrafa, the menu is a celebration of Brazilian flavors. Two standout dishes that you must try are the **Pão de Queijo**, a delightful cheese bread that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the **Bolinho de Bacalhau**, a savory codfish fritter that bursts with flavor in every bite. Pair these with a refreshing **Caipirinha**, Brazil's national cocktail, made with cachaça, lime, and sugar, and you have the perfect culinary experience.

One of the unique features of Boteco da Garrafa is its commitment to live music, particularly samba, which enhances the vibrant atmosphere. The bar often hosts local bands, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the rich musical heritage of Brazil.

Very disappointed! we paid for cutlery while the previous days no. In total 112R$ with 40R$ of cutlery. They tell us that it is for the music, while they play inside and we were on the terrace and do not hear anything. I do not recommend, it is a tourist trap. It was our third evening with them, we stay several more days but we will go elsewhere to honest merchants.
