This bar/restaurant is located in the same building as Sky Beach observatory (not affiliated--they…read morehave different owners). It's a couple of floors below and was very busy when we visited. They have an extensive cocktail menu and serve a full menu of appetizers, main courses and desserts. Sky Bar (aka Skybar Tour Genève) is opn from 4 PM until 12 AM, so if you want to combine a visit with Sky Beach, I'd recommend you go to the observatory about 4 PM, so you can go downstairs to watch the sunset from SkyBar, thus killing 2 birds with one stone and getting a lot of fun touristy things in at the same day.

This beach bar/restaurant is located across the street from Bessa Beach in Joao Pessoa. I guess you…read morecould say it is a "dive bar", complete with a broken-down bus that serves as their kitchen. We came here because it was located next to the bed & breakfast at which we were staying (Pousada Espaço Luz do Sol). The food is average for a restaurant of this type, serving seafood dishes like fried fish, shrimp stew, French fries and other simple snack food. Their drink menu includes many different beers, as well as several types of caipirinhas, from the classic lime, to passionfruit and several more. The service is decent--we hardly had to wait to be attended. The ambiance is pleasant. How could it not be? You sit at a table looking at the tropical beach right in front of you with coconut trees swaying in the wind. While I wouldn't go out of my way to visit, if I find myself in the area again, I will give them a visit.

Bar do Marujo, also known as the Skol bar due to the old advertisement on the umbrellas (the last…read moreadvertisement I saw was for the Visa card), is one of the biggest and best bars on the seafront of Camboinha beach. It is certainly the most pleasant and popular bar on the beach. Full of coconut trees and well ventilated, you don't need to fight for a spot under the umbrella. I really like going there in the morning with my family or in the afternoon with the group. For those who enjoy beach food, there's nothing better. There you can taste great crab in coconut sauce, needlefish, fried fish or even a delicious shrimp stew! And, to accompany it, that cold Skol or something lighter, like coconut water. ;) The price is practically the same as other bars on the beach. The crab costs around 3 reais and the stew around 6. But you never eat just that, right? It's nice to go to the beach with a little extra money. In the morning, you have to arrive early, at most 11am. Otherwise you won't find a table available!

This rooftop bar is located in the highly overrated Oceana Atlantico Hotel, but is under…read moreindependent management. It offers a wonderful view of the ocean. The bartenders are truly talented mixologists, and the bar offers tasty and visually beautiful cocktails. I came here with my wife for our anniversary and the bartender Jian created a drink for us, which he called "amor sem fronteiras" (love without borders), which was a lovely gesture that we thoroughly enjoyed. They open a 4PM, so its a great place to watch the sun set over the ocean. While I do NOT recommend this hotel, I can highly recommend this bar for a nice evening out.
