Delirium Café is the beer bar the Río really needs. There are plenty of cocktail bars but this is a…read morefantastic option for wonderful beer. You'll find many imports from Belgium, Germany, and the US along with some Brazilian brews. Don't get too excited before ordering. You'll find they don't have many beers on the menu for whatever reason. It's pretty disappointing but a replacement beer will still be good. The burgers are their main entrée. They're actually very good, and the vegetarian one would be a good choice for anyone! Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Staff doesn't speak much English but does accept credit cards.

This place is lined with various bottles of beer and have a wicked menu but make sure you have a…read morefew beers in mind because they don't always have everything. Delirium Tremens is on tap, which is good because it's the name sake. I like dark stouts and though they have a few on the menu they don't always stock them. Food is decent and I tried the bacon burger which was filling. It comes with a side of fries. It gets crowded but they've expanded the seating outside which spills out onto the road which is nice for the smokers. The inside is narrow and has only one bathroom for each (male and female). Service was friendly and it's a fun place to hangout at.

A delicious but small food menu, offering small sharing and tapas style plates to try and sober up with after your third bottle of wine. The setting is ambient with a NYC small bar layout and decor. Great place to chill out and enjoy a rare glass of wine in Rio.

It was entirely by chance that I found Canastra, and I'm VERY glad I did! It turned out to be an…read moreentirely delightful venue :-) The wine list is compact, with some exceptionally priced, very nice bottles on it. They even have several good by-the-glass options. Their menu is tapas-style, with a number of small sharing plates; it contains dishes like goats cheese with onion marmalade, marinated octopus, paté de campagne, and burrata of buffalo mozzarella. All the dishes on the menu are accompanied by delicious warm baguette, and the prices are all extremely reasonable ((R$19 - R$25 each). Our server was very friendly and attentive; we left quite satisfied and very full :-) Tip: If you're a fan of oysters, then Tuesday is a great night to come to Canastra! On Tuesdays they have reasonable priced raw oysters that you can order by the half dozen :-)

The service and food were on point!And the cocktails were out of this world. I had a tangerine cocktail with ginger foam and little red pepper balls. I don't know what magic happened during the creation of this drink, but it was amazing. We also had steak tartare, yum! Everything was great and we may even come back while we are still here.

I came here with my girlfriend after the beach, seeking to buy a liter of beer. We asked for a…read moresampler - as customary in bars across the US and Europe. Instead, the waiter served us a glass of beer. We assumed they didn't have samplers until we saw the same waiter serving someone else a small sample in a disposable cup. Not only did they sell less beer, but they proved discriminatory based on appearances, lost two customers and earned this one star review. "Artisanal" comes from US microbreweries where clientele is earned through communal bonds, trust and friendship. This place is a rude caricature of this original movement. Portuguese: Atendentes preconceituosos fazendo distinção de classes com clientes. Pedimos para "provar" um IPA antes de escolher um litro. Nos foi servido um chope de 220ml invés de um uma prova. Momentos depois, outro cliente pediu uma prova e recebeu a prova em copinho descartável. Não só venderam menos cerveja, mas foram desonestos e preconceituosos. Ganharam menos dois clientes e este review.
