This music venue/pub/auto shop just opened up a few months ago and it's a great place to enjoy live…read moremusic, good food, and beer. The space is beautiful, spacious, and well thought out. 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!

Good place for hooking up the way Charles Bukowski would have wanted it. First night in Rio and I…read moregot lucky here with a girl (and necessary to say not a working one since too many bars have those). It closes at 5am-6am on Saturdays and it's a two-story house where basically each room has its own DJ and bartender. Same with the backyard. So it's like bar-hopping but all at one place!

Bukowski you say? And then you think: "oh that dirty-naughty old man, right?" And then I say:…read more "yep, but it is a bar!" And then you say: "Wow it must be awesome, underground and things". But no, it used to be. Sadly, Bukowski bar has changed a lot, it is not underground anymore, and it is not necessarily a bad thing, it really depends on what kind of place you are looking for. It is a cool two-floor house, located in Botafogo, a trendy-young district in Rio. There is a patio with some outdoor seating, great for chatting while having a beer with friends. There is also a garage, where, later on, a dj start to play and the whole thing becames a dance floor. Inside the house, you have a downstairs dance floor, with some serious sweety-too close-dancers and the second floor area, with some space and sofas for chatting and ladies queueing for the toilet and a second dance floor. It is open until late and always attracts young crowds. Just a bit too expensive compared to other places in Rio, around 40 reais entrance and 9 reais for a beer.

Travelers beware - they will rip you off!! I'm pretty non-confrontational, so even though I was…read morepretty sure I was being overcharged, I paid anyway. A couple of us in our group came back from paying and said as much. One very smart friend of mine slipped the drink menu into his pocket when he went to pay - and when told the inflated price, he pointed to the menu and said "I had this, and this, should be only $20 reais (or whatever the price was). The girl went to get her manager. The manager arrived and confirmed the price. My friend said "What is the extra charge for?" The manager said, "It's for the band." There was NO BAND! We had been there for hours and no one played. The manager finally backed down. These people like to prey on homesick gringos. Don't be one of them. Eat down the street at Redentor; drink at Che Lagarto. Anywhere but Lord Jim Pub.

His aggressiveness and attitude do not…read moreresemble what I came to love about Rio, yet it was precisely this kind of thing that would appear to give the city a bad reputation. I didn't experience anything like it elsewhere. I was so put off, I turned around and went to the hostel bar next door which had a great vibe and friendly staff.

Here there is no private or free lot, you will have to find street parking…read more Very busy specially if theres live music going on. If they have live music there will be a cover charge for the band so make sure that if you come and do not want to pay avoid the days they have the band. The place is very lively, the people here dance everywhere and the music is very loud. As we sat down the waiter came by to say hello and drop ONE MENU. One menu!!! On a 5 ppl table!!! Absurd cause then the waiter comes to get the order no everyone is ready, it noticed that is very common in the town, restaurants do not drop the correct amount of menus when you sit, so make sure to ask for extra so you don't have to be sitting there waiting. the nice thing is that the wait staff will not be acting like they need to turn tables over so you will be able to enjoy yourself drink and eat taking your time. seems like here is normal for people to spend the whole day and sometimes night just chilling. PINA COLADA- not a super strong one but none the less was super delicious, tasted like dessert. they also add a special touch of chocolate on the cup and it looks super cute. STEAK WITH PIAMONTESE RICE- the stake was pretty nice and had lots of onions that I loved, the side was underwhelming though. I love piamontese rice and this one was blend. the taste was just not there. GROUP PLATTER- with cheese, potatoes and sun dried meats it was a pretty nice appetizer to share with the table and the fried cheese was awesome. we got also some beers and had a great time here. this is a laid back fun place to spend a good time with friends, however be aware that the music is loud and the conversation will be at a shouting volume, but overall this was a good time.
