"Pé sujos (“dirty feet”) are the equivalent of American dive bars, serving shots of hard liquor and cheerful vibes beneath fluorescent lights. Pavão Azul (blue peacock) maintains the classic aesthetic with tiled walls and folding wooden chairs, but offers some fine snacks to go with it. Diehards say the cod fritters are among the best in Rio, but the pasteis are also worth trying. Along with another location just across the street, dubbed Pavãozinho, or Little Peacock, the bar is always packed with locals and clever tourists." - Rafael Tonon, Taylor Barnes
