I'm sorry to say I'm not a big fan of this pub. It's old and shabby and in dire need of…read morerefurbishment. At the back of the pub there are ugly old white tiles on the wall. I think they had extra tiles left over when they decorated the bathroom!! The beer they sell, Braumiester, is terrible and just 3 pints gave me a bad headache the next day. Also we ordered pastels which were cold! Obviously made from frozen. When we complained they refried them but didn't replace the cold pastels that we already tasted!! So we received a half portion. When I said it to the waitress she agreed and brought another portion which was freezing again! A child could fry a pastel??? I don't like to give negative reviews but I feel that this pub is having a laugh by charging people money to enter!!

Guarita Bar - the new kid on the block with some solid names at the helm - Jean Ponce ex-bartender…read morefrom the only 2-Michelin star restaurant in Brazil, D.O.M. controls the bar and Gregor Caisley, from Twelve Bistro, manages the kitchen - these 2 names anywhere raise expectations ! I went to Guarita the first time while it was in soft opening, the kitchen was not in operation but the bar was fully operational. Jean Ponce, besides being the great bartender, is one of the most welcoming hosts - he really makes you feel at home and all of a sudden you are part of the family. The first time around I tried his signature 'Rabo de Galo' and the classic Negroni - both drinks are well prepared, with good ingredients and hand-crafted crystal clear huge ice cubes. One interesting thing that Jean told me is that he will used different types of glassware to serve the same drink - keeping it casual but at the same time the quality of the cocktail served should be consistent with their standards. The second time around, Guarita was fully operational and I decided to give the food menu a try. I orders the pork belly sandwich and trust me when I say this - it was one of the best sandwiches I have ever tasted - spiced pork belly with thin slices of cucumber and some coriander make it a gem in the menu. Since greed has no limits, I shared a pizza with my friend and once again the kitchen deserves full points - the food at Guarita is really spectacular. I tried a 3 lime lemon caipirinha with some good 'ol cachaça and Jean's caipirinha fame is well deserved. So if I had such a good time, why do I give Gurita 4 stars - the drinks are good but Boca de Ouro and Negroni (2 similar priced bars) are better..and there Guarita drops a star. I love the laid back ambience, the quick service and Jean Ponce is one of the best hosts - definitely a place to return !

We spent some time here before heading downstairs to the restaurant (Sal Gastronomia - 2 stars for us). Our waiter was great and engaging. He suggested an excellent Italian Primitivo. We also had a (warm) Brie with blueberry compote and fresh, warm, bread. Delicious. They also have a very cool collection of whiskeys, but this requires deep pockets. Only small negative is that they don't have a 'sales agreement' with the restaurant. They did bring our bottle and glasses downstairs when a table opened up, but once seated, we couldn't order another bottle from the Admiral's wine list.

Half the fun in trying the drinks was watching the bartender meticulously prepare your drink, with great attention to detail. I admit it can get pricey depending on what and how much you drink, but it is a worthwhile experience.

Inverteram meu pedido na primeira vez em que fui, mas OK. Detalhe: Os chopps poderiam sair um pouco mais gelados. Não precisa ser muito gelado, mas não estava tão calor quando fui, e os chopes sairam um pouco a temperatura ambiente. No mais, ótima opção pra tomar uma (ou varias) cervejas especiais.

The interior décor is modern and very cool; the location is great. That said, the best reason to visit this place: the BEER! SPTH serves more than 40 different beers on tap, and most are so good it's very hard to pick a favorite handful :-) The service here is wonderful - there are several staffers who speak good English, and helped us figure out what was where. We were encouraged to try a broad range of beers, which gave us a decent sense of what to order. Each of us ended up choosing different beers, but we all went away satisified. Even though we didn't really eat that night, the food looked and smelled very good; next time we'll have to not only drink, but eat too :-)

Obviously inspired by bars that serve excellent food in the US, these guys do it better. The food is top-notch. I tried the jalapeño poppers, arancini, bruschetta, and ceviche. All were well prepared, honest food. They have a full bar and know how to make a good cocktail. The atmosphere is hip without trying too hard. Nicely laid out. Although it is s big place, it feels intimate. The service is on point. From initial greeting to the end. One thing that might be new for those visiting from the US is that they give you a card with a number at the beginning which acts as your tab. At the end of the night you pay and he gives you another card to give at the door as you leave. This system is accurate, works well, and allows you to move around from lounging at a table or couch to the bar. My only complaints is that it's not close to my home in Boston. Bravo!
