I might be the first American that's ever been to this bar. Super divey late night karaoke spot. It…read moreis what it is. Don't expect the most amazing place, but expect a little bar to sing karaoke with your friends.

It is a bar with karaoke. Nice atmosphere, good menu but pricey in drinks. It would be an excellent…read morebar if the service was better. My first time there they didn't explain how could I ask to sing in the karaoke. The woman who served us threw in the table pen and paper without even looking or speaking to us. Really not polite. I had to ask another waitress, once more, to explain how to proceed and she barely stopped to talk with us. Disappointing.

I think it's funny that they charge 33% more for beer brewed on location. Even funnier is that they…read moreonly had one beer available that was actually brewed on site. All kind of defeating the purpose of a craft brew pub in my opinion. Also the staff don't really have any personality especially the bartenders. They serve and disappear like robots. Aren't brewpubs supposed to be fun and outgoing? I didn't eat only drank. The menu is basically your typical bar food... Nothing really inspiring... Burgers, hot dogs, coxinha, etc. I gave 2 stars because the atmosphere is really cool and the beer was just alright. 2.5 is probably more accurate. However, I'm probably not going to come back and I would not recommend it.

In the US there are many micro brews but here there are only four in the entire city. I tried the Weiss Beer and the Red Ale. Both are fantastic. Both are well balanced with just the right amount of bitter units for the type of beer. The wheat beer rivals Paulaner Weiss micro brew in NYC. The Red Ale is in the English style and is s better version of Old Speckled Hen. Great beer is only part of the story. The owner is very engaging and speaks some English. Show some interest in how beer is made and he will have you smelling New Zealand hops and explaining how temperature at fermentation impacts his beers. This place is the perfect place to kill an hour or an afternoon.

The lamen trend has finally arrived in São Paulo and one can easily find lists online recommending…read morethe "best" place to have a good bowl of lamen. If that is what you want - a good enough bowl of lamen in some new place with an hour long queue at the door and bad service - you are fine, just go to any of the places that show up in those kind of lists. However, the best lamen in São Paulo is served in this cozy izakaya in the neighborhood of Jardins. Mini Bueno is a hidden gem that need to be discovered, appreciated and shared with those who dare to go beyond the trendy places and have real experience. After dinner, ask Claudia for a soju caipirinha and the mic for the karaoke, because you will certainly feel like singing.
