My friend Marco H. and I were originally planning to barhop and check out some clubs near Avenida Paulista, but since it was #1. a holiday (people don't have to work the next day) and #2. Brazil had just played and gotten crushed by Germany in the World Cup), I think the Brazilian people were in the mood to go out and have a good time. After walking up and down some street littered with bars and clubs, we concluded that it would be a waste of our time to get in line and try to wait gain entry. Instead, he recommended we go to Vila Olimpia (a trendy district) to check out a club called Royal. For those of you that know me, I like clubs haha. Wherever I travel to, I make sure to check out the nightlife and clubs are usually near the top of my list. Royal was indeed a club and it was really nice and trendy as well. It wouldn't have been out of place in places like Los Angeles or New York. The music was mostly a mix of EDM which I enjoy and some Brazilian songs thrown in intermittently. There wasn't a cover per se, but upon entry, you are given a card (kind of looks like a hotel room key) which acts as currency. When you go to the bar and order drinks, the bartenders will scan the card and your tab is organized via that card. The catch was that you had to spend 200 Brazilian reals which comes out to approximately $85 in US dollars, but I had a great time and it was a blast. The girls inside that club were gorgeous and Marco H had a good time laughing at me while I was gawking at the Brazilian women. An interesting quirk about the club scene in Brazil is that while lots of girls come to dance and have fun, the culture is very different than that of the states. Guys really don't dance. They just stand around and hang out (which I'm sure the girls appreciate because I've had girl friends complain about creepers who try to come up to them and grind with them), and when they do approach a girl, it is to initiate a conversation. Being a "gringo", I broke convention by happily fist-pumping and dancing to the music all night.

The only thing I would suggest for the next person: order your steak 1 level below what you normally order.

But nonetheless, steaks themselves were fantastic!

Then you walk around the corner and your suddenly up on a balcony with a huge floor (with its own bar in there). We went there with low expectations. The place turned out to be great. They had a superb 80s band playing some great hits for the night. The waitresses were also in top of their game and keep the caprinhas flowing. Their 'system' was a bit weird. When you enter they require to see your ID. They then enter you into a system and assign you a swipe card. You need the swipe card to buy things. No cash is exchanged until you are leaving the bar. At that point you go to a cashier. Everyone must hand I their card and pay the fee (pro tip: if you are a couple, put some drinks on each card, as otherwise you will be stuck with an admission fee on the zero balance card), then you get a token to leave, which is carefully examined by the bouncers. Strange, but pleasantly surprised by the night.

We decided to sit at the bar so we could watch the masters at work, bartenders who are obviously very proud of their craft. For me, it was a Boulevardier - think Negroni, but subtract the gin and add bourbon in its place. The drink was beautiful, with a hand-shaved ice cube that looked like a glimmering gem surrounded by what was easily the best cocktail I've had in years. (For those of you who follow me, you know that's high praise!) One of my friends opted for the Gin Cocktail, what the drink menu calls a "high-strength stirred drink": Umburana gin, Grand Marnier, ginger, and Rangpur lime bitters. I took a sip and can vouch for this being a high-octane drink, a quite delicious one at that. For many of the drinks, the original source of the recipe is cited. The Gin Cocktail comes from "Cooling Cups and Dainty Drinks", published in 1869 - a nice touch of history that takes one back in time while enjoying their cocktail, right down to the quintessentially British instruction to the bartender: "The recipe of Terrington demands a table spoon of bitters". How imperial! The bartenders were great, answering all of our questions about the array of items displayed on the bar, from the little misters used to give a finishing touch to cocktails to the array of botanicals and garnishes in the Mason jars on the bar. Frank Bar should be on everyone's list when they visit São Paulo, whether it's for a pre-dinner cocktail or for a nice way to end an evening out with friends. Muito obrigado ao bartênderes!
