Our yelper friend Danilo took us to Botto since its in his neighborhood. Nice relaxing spot to hang…read moreout with live music on Saturday nights. They have a good selection of beers, only beers on draft nothing bottled. You can chose from three sizes (200mL, 300mL and 500mL). We tried the oceânica easy dive, which was smooth and reasonably priced at R$10 for 200mL. They had 3 cariocas, hip hops, Brooklyn, a few Nois, and some other brands we didn't recognize. The waiter was cool and explained a few ones we wanted to know more about. They have a selection of food as well, some salgados, hot dogs, burgers (which is supposed to be very good) and a few desserts. We weren't hunger enough in the late afternoon for a full meal but we did order some churros. They took a while to come out but worth the wait. They were four hot, soft and sweet pieces accompanied by dulce de leite or goiabada dipping sauces. They have a corner bathroom with has both a stall for men's and women's with a shared sink. The stalls were extremely tight (hard to get out because the door opens inward) and had no toilet paper (which one would expect on a busy weekend night but not a lazy slow Sunday). They gave us suggestion forms to fill out and will probably send out announcements by email.

I was very excited to go to Botto Bar. I heard great things from my Carioca friends, who excitedly…read moresaid they had almost 2 dozen taps of craft beers. When we got there, they had less than 8. We overheard staff mentioning how they are understaffed and recently had to get rid of people (this impacted the service). Very disappointing, but maybe it's fallen on hard times.

Not a bad lounge at the very end of the terminal. They had saggy couches but decent bistro tables…read morewith cleaning crew that came to clear tables and restock the glassware. The food was actually pretty decent with tiny sandwiches, brigaderos, and even a cup of salad with dressing. They had a decent selection of beverages but limited alcohol and only brahma and Antarctica beers. Not bad for a quick stop, with wifi

This place totally sucks and to top it off you have a 50% chance of being killed getting here plus…read moreanother 50% on your way back. I came for a birthday party last year. Ribs, among other things, were ordered and what arrives at your table is not like anything ever served in the states. A massive pile of individual ribs thrown on a plate...not a rack. It has zero flavor and the quality of meat is hideous! Steak is typical dry flavorless Brazilian meat. Fried chicken was pretty good as were the pasteis and stuff but its impossible to screw that up. Don't risk your life trying to "eat where the locals eat". It's totally not worth it here.

My favorite bar in Rio! Awesome pub food, friendly people, and good beer. I come here every time…read moreI'm in town visiting my wife's family. Highly recommended!
