Brazilians are known for their love of life, passion, joy of movement, music and dance as well as…read moretheir wonderful lime laden cocktails.
I'm not sure how close this bar is to Brazilian nightlife, but to me this bar feels typically Brazilian in cadence.
I just love the atmosphere, the enthusiasm, the music, you feel transported to another place and I just don't understand how very few people, even those living in Camden, don't know about this bar!
I was introduced by a lovely Yelp friend and try and get back whenever I'm in Camden as I really love this place. To me this is one of Camden's real hidden gems.
So why do I love it? Let me count the ways:
Live music: I'm not sure if there is someone on every night, but I'm always shocked by them hosting some fantastic, extremely talented musicians.
Intimate setting: As a tiny little venue you huddle around small tables, it feels cozy, personable and warm.
Art work: Walls, ceilings and tables are plastered with art, pictures, paintings collages drape all surfaces. It's like some hipster arty underground cavern... like so many bars in Shoreditch are trying to achieve, but this place isn't trying, it has charm and personality without having to try.
Caipirinhas and mojitos: Using traditional Brazilian ingredients the cocktails here are just superb... and after a few you can't help but sink back into your seat and enjoy the ambiance. I'd also recommend the Cuba Libra, I'm usually not a fan, but would make an exception here.
As a cocktail bar you need to expect to pay cocktail prices, but the live music, amazing atmosphere and art are free.
