They have a system where you order food and drinks using a prepaid cash card. I think they are still testing out various methods of how they provide their services, as my mother in law has said that the payment system changes each time she visits. We ordered the fish and chips and it was delicious! The fish was fried to perfection and super crispy. Unfortunately, they do not provide lemons or tartar sauce so make sure to ask for extra mayonnaise and limes when ordering. They do not have a tap beer menu so you will have to walk up to the bar and see their selection. Strangely, you are not able to order directly at the bar and you have to go back to your table and order through the waitress. Paradise Garage has a great stage for live performances. It's elevated, well lit and they have a great sound system. My only complaint about the live performances is the lighting- there are two flashing strobes on the stage facing the audience and it makes it very unpleasant to watch the performances. It ends up hurting your eyes. The band Little Mou that I saw live was amazing, if you get a chance, go see them! Português não é minha primeira língua e estou usando o google translate: Este local de música / pub / loja de auto apenas abriu há alguns meses e é um ótimo lugar para desfrutar de música ao vivo, boa comida e cerveja. O espaço é bonito, espaçoso, e bem pensado. Eles têm um sistema onde você pedir comida e bebidas utilizando um cartão pré-pago de dinheiro. Eu acho que eles ainda estão testando vários métodos de como eles prestam seus serviços, como minha mãe diz que o sistema de pagamento muda cada vez que ela visita. Nós pedidos o peixe e fritas e foi delicioso! O peixe foi frito com perfeição e super crocante. Infelizmente, eles não fornecer limões ou molho tártaro por isso certifique-se de pedir maionese extra e limes ao encomendar. Eles não têm um tap cerveja menu para que você terá a pé até o bar e ver sua seleção. Estranhamente, não são capazes de ordem directamente no bar e você tem que voltar para a sua mesa e ordem através da garçonete. Paradise Garage tem um grande palco para apresentações ao vivo. É elevado, bem iluminado e têm um excelente sistema de som. A minha única reclamação sobre as actuações ao vivo é a iluminação - há duas flashes piscando no palco de frente para o público e torna muito desagradável para assistir as performances. Isso acaba machucando seus olhos. A banda Little Mou que eu vi ao vivo foi incrível, se você tiver uma chance, vá vê-los!

Our yelper friend Danilo took us to Botto since its in his neighborhood. Nice relaxing spot to hang…read moreout with live music on Saturday nights. They have a good selection of beers, only beers on draft nothing bottled. You can chose from three sizes (200mL, 300mL and 500mL). We tried the oceânica easy dive, which was smooth and reasonably priced at R$10 for 200mL. They had 3 cariocas, hip hops, Brooklyn, a few Nois, and some other brands we didn't recognize. The waiter was cool and explained a few ones we wanted to know more about. They have a selection of food as well, some salgados, hot dogs, burgers (which is supposed to be very good) and a few desserts. We weren't hunger enough in the late afternoon for a full meal but we did order some churros. They took a while to come out but worth the wait. They were four hot, soft and sweet pieces accompanied by dulce de leite or goiabada dipping sauces. They have a corner bathroom with has both a stall for men's and women's with a shared sink. The stalls were extremely tight (hard to get out because the door opens inward) and had no toilet paper (which one would expect on a busy weekend night but not a lazy slow Sunday). They gave us suggestion forms to fill out and will probably send out announcements by email.

I was very excited to go to Botto Bar. I heard great things from my Carioca friends, who excitedly…read moresaid they had almost 2 dozen taps of craft beers. When we got there, they had less than 8. We overheard staff mentioning how they are understaffed and recently had to get rid of people (this impacted the service). Very disappointing, but maybe it's fallen on hard times.
