If you're looking for a spot that serves American bar food, shows American sports with English speaking bartenders, Blue Agave is the spot. The food isn't great but if you're trying to watch the Super Bowl like us, it worked out perfect. Everyone is really chill, you'll meet fellow English speaking friends from Europe and Australia. read more

Really enjoyed this expat owned bar. My small posse and I went to watch the US women's soccer team destroy Japan and sat at the small bar. Around us, nearly everyone was having conversations in English and even the bartenders (while fluent in Portuguese hailed from the US). While it's not every day that I seek out an American refuge, I was super happy that this place was showing the game and that I got to enjoy it around people who were similarly pumped. So that's the tip, if you're looking to watch a popular American sporting match, Blue Agave is likely to play it over local Brazilian soccer games (which they probably show as well). My margarita was properly made and one of the better ones I've had in Brazil and the chicken tacos along with the al pastor were similarly satisfying. Great, cozy spot in Ipanema to grab a drink and a bite to eat. read more

If u want to eat late and I do mean LATE night dinner...Go to Blue Agave! The chicken quesadilla, was AWESOME! The server, Henoch, spoke great English and was Soooo Awesy! Went there because I was HELLA HUNGRY late at night! Usually done eating by 8:30 pm EST. However, the time change may have played a HUGE part in that - Rio is 3 hours ahead!! My first night there, and I fell asleep as soon as I checked in! Anywho, this place closes at 3 or 4 am, kitchen is open til midnight...I got their at 11:30! They treated me so warm and welcoming! I met more Americans from Houston and they said the Mexican food was delicious...so don't just take my word for it! THUMBS UP‼ read more

This was the worst Burrito I ever had in my life, and I have eaten a lot of Burritos because I am from San Diego. First of all, we added the option to make it Supreme that was supposed to have sour cream and avocado but the sour cream was on top and it didn't even taste like sour cream, avocado? No where to be found inside. We order the meat and the chicken, the meat was not in slices it was ground beef! There was so much rice that the taste of anything was overwhelmed by it. The price was high for Brazil, 30 reais plus 10 to make it Supreme, so 40 reais for this Burrito was ridiculous! And when I complained saying that there was no avocado or sour cream and that I didn't want to pay the extra 10 reais they did nothing about it. I asked if I could talk to a manager but they said I had to talk to the owner!!! How bad is that? I felt robbed! Never going back to this place! read more

Fun place to grab a beer/caipirinha. Inside and outside space. International mix, easy to get to know new people when alone in Rio.

Great bar and atmosphere. I'd call it more Tex-Mex food than Mexican. The appetizers, guacamole and salsa were on point. Pretty hot looking waitresses too! read more

Blue Agave was a big surprise. We were walking around looking for another bar when we stumbled in. We were instantly greeted by the nice owners who actually went to the college I did. He bought as a round and told us some local spots where we could enjoy the company of monkeys. Good bar, good fun. read more

Loved this place! Great and cheap caipirinhas, and solid nachos. I live in California and this bar definitely satisfied some of my homesickness for food that I knew what I was getting. We paid cash, but it was cheap and didn't clean us out of our reis. I definitely recommend if you want a socal food fix. read more

Had an amazing time. The owner was great and very accommodating! Food and drinks were fantastic!

Very small place with high top seats that kill your butt. Food is kind of like an average chain in the states. Nothing special on this one.
