"The Royal Cocktail Club is situated in the touristy Baixa neighborhood, set in an old bankers’ union building, with an elegant interior decked out in wood, marble, and bronze. The cocktail list is modern and creative, thanks to head bartender Carlos Santiago and his team, who create drinks like the Candlelight (whiskey, orange liqueur, ruby Port, and lemon oleo saccharum) and Lady D (tequila, hibiscus infusion, agave, orange blossom and mint). Know before you go: Down in the basement, there’s a private room with its own bar, serving six exclusive signature cocktails available only downstairs." - Rafael Tonon
