I was looking to try a new place in the neighborhood after eating at three of the other places…read morenearby. Os Filhos da Mãe caught my eye because it was less busy than the neighbor restaurants and it looked cool enough and clean. The gentleman who helped me was either knew or not server, because he really didn't know anything about the menu nor could he help me with getting on the Wi-Fi or answer questions about drinks. However, he was really nice and professional. The actual server was polite enough and did his job didn't make me feel overwhelming welcome either. The restaurant has a cool selection of craft brews in cans and bottles but the servers seemed to be pushing Budweiser and Heineken for some odd reason. To note, there were only two beers on draft in a place that has Brew in its name. I order a radler and it was a decect radler. I got the last hamburger on the list, it was 380g of beef... nearly a pound. It was properly cooked at medium rare and was loaded with two kinds of cheese, tomato and lettuce kind of pickles and and underwhelming bacon. This was one of the burgers that the more formal server recommended. This thing was a monster and it was probably 8 in tall! FYI, the burgers are a la carte. I asked for a side salad, or a salad of any sort, because there were none on the menu. It was a whole run around in circles and finally they said they could put extra lettuce and tomatoes on the side. Ultimately, when my burger arrived, nothing came on the side. Sure enough, when I got my bill, I was charged for extra lettuce and tomato. Wow. Finally, for dessert, I ordered a 420g of acai... because they didn't have anything smaller. I asked for granola and banana and figured that was included. Lo and behold, they charged me for it. Wow. The ambience was underwhelming but fine. The music was American although I didn't recognize the different songs. I would spend my money elsewhere.

The man who took care of us, Edwardo, speaks fine English and is able to talk about the Brazil brews you are drinking. Has 7 rotating taps of beer along with a selection of Brazilian and foreign craft bottles. A good stop for any craft beer fans before heading out to some tasty bites in the neighborhood.

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.

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.

Friendly service and great selection of local beers (Colorado, 3 Cariocas, Noi, 2 Cabezas, etc). This makes it a little less commercial that the more touristy spots in Ipanema. The food is just simple salgados so it's not a dinner spot but a true drinking spot. Always crowded and now we know why.

If you are from a country that has an abundance of beer flavors Brewteco will make you feel right at home. More options than any other place I visited in Rio and really friendly bi-lingual bartenders which makes things so much easier after having to speak in sign language to most other locals. It's a little expensive, but worth it if you're a beer snob and sick of drinking Skol or Brahma.
