I visit Porto Alegre at least once per year for a few days (visiting family) and there are only a…read morecouple places I insist on visiting EVERY time. This one is very much ON the MUST GO list.
FANTASTIC local beer choices as well as options from other regions of Brazil and beyond. Guaranteed to satisfy the tastebuds and expand you hoppy horizons.
Their selections of tap beer are varied and each variety very tasty on their own right.
There are HUNDREDS of bottled options, many of which I have personally tasted and always impressed.
This time the "X-Bacon" was the strange brew of choice and it was... just that. A fun adventure I had to try at least once! And actually will again if someone offers it to me. ;)
The food, must have one of their personal pizzas. Very tasty.
The atmosphere is calm and casual. Refreshingly fun and non-overwhelming (pleasantly NOT like many Brazilian hotspots). We were able to have a fun and lively conversation without having to compete with loud and obnoxious energy from the current choices of popular "music" jabbed into our eardrums.
It wasn't a quiet place... just right for catching up with old friends or getting to KNOW new ones by way of ACTUAL conversation.
