What an experience!!! It's an unforgettable location with a view to die for. Staff was really friendly and the service was OK (not the fastest in the world). However in a place like this one cannot be over judgemental and just enjoy the view, the cold beer and the music! They did not charge entry fee which was awesome 👏

We took uber to top of hill, then walked 5-8mins to the bar. The view is fantastic, we reached there at 2pm, not many people so we chose any seats we want. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great. Same walking distance to the main street, we took motorcycle to bring us down the hill. Each ride cost 10reals, it's great experience to travel all the way downslopes to entry point. Then you could get uber or taxi to back to town. It's advisable to take uber as it cost lower fare than taxi.
We paid by cash and it took longer time to return changes to us. We never chased them, but i guess they were short of small changes. If you do not intend to stay there longer, better pay by card.

I would avoid this place altogether. Many employees and you still have to wait ages to get food to your table. Not to mention they completely “forgot” my friend’s order and only delivered mine. Such

Amazing view of Rio
Tricky to get there but worth it
Great music , drinks and yummy food
Feijoada was really good

Sometime they “loose” an order , like other review said , but still worth it

Great view, terrible service. The waiters were basically trying to steal from us. We were paying with cash, and they purposefully “forgot” to get us our change. At first I thought it was an honest mistake, but then it happened 3 more times. Each time we kindly reminded the waiter they owed us change still. By the third time, the waiter was giving us an attitude, like we were wrong for even asking for the change.we managed to get all the change we were owed, but it took them forever, and they were still being reluctant, trying to ignore us, and “forget” again.  If you go here, keep an eye on this, because it obviously was not their first time doing this.
