Fun place to hang out when you have a large group. Lapa is alive at night and a little less scary…read morethen the desolate weekends or daytime activity. Just a few steps from the arcos, this bar commands the entire corner plaza, spreading out chairs and tables with plenty of seating (if you come early or have friends you're meeting). It's spread out enough you don't even have to see the actually inside of the bar unless you need the bathroom. Waiters circle around, but you do have to flag them down. How they actually keep track of all that's ordered is a mystery to us.
They offer several standard beers and even a tower of beer that comes with a dispenser, holds 30L and is kept cool with icing element in the middle though is only served with Itaipava beer (not the best).
They also have 1L bottles of caiparinha mixes with flavors ranging from typical lime, to kiwi or strawberry or pineapple. They're very potent and can easily be shared with 3-4 friends.
We tried the pizza with bacon, olives, mushroom which was decent and the large size feed quite a few friends. We also tried the Sókana fries with came smothered with a dry crumble cheese and pieces of sausage in a large wooden bowl with a silver lining.
I'd avoid sitting by the garbage can that's attached to the post because some homeless guy threw away his cigarette as he walked by without extinguishing it and we had to get the waiter to pour water on it to quench the smell of burning plastic!
Overall fun time if your with a good group of friends.
