Beco das Garrafas

HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR JAZZ LOVERS! I grew up on the rhythms of jazz and live music. Today my spirit soared as I wandered through the birthplace of Bossa Nova—Brazilian jazz in its truest form—at Beco das Garrafas (“Alley of Bottles”) and got to experience first hand the intoxicating tunes of Copacabana 🎶🇧🇷 we got entrance to both bottles bar and little club for a $10 USD cover, the food and cocktails were exceptional and very low priced for the portion sizes. The staff were super friendly and hard working and they all surprisingly spoke English!

Legendary music venues with epic music! Such historic significance, with some of the biggest names in Bossa Nova having played Bottle Bar and Little Club. We were in Rio de Janeiro for a week and visited four nights to enjoy seeing four unique, talented artists in an intimate setting. If you want to go see live music in Rio de Janeiro, go check out the clubs on this alley! Both have great sound, good food and drink, friendly staff, and of course incredible music.

Bossa Nova music.....the taste of Rio Great little quirky venue. Enjoyed it thoroughly, if I wasn't so tired from travelling I would come back again. Definitely recommend visiting if you like the music

I don't know why Beco Das Garrafas is not known all around the globe! Cradle of Bossa Nova, refuge for some of the greatest artists of the last century. I stumbled upon this bar after a business dinner: listening to live Bossa Nova was on my must-see items while in Rio, Jade and her band did not dissapoint. They are two venues next to each other, we paid a 50 BRL entrance fee.

amazing music here, if you like jazz/bossa nova this is the pace to be! the venue is cool, very classic and civilised. great friendly service too. it does get a bit cramped as it’s a small space and they squeeze in more chairs as more people arrive, but the staff are attentive and come to you if you get a bit stuck in the crowd of chairs so still 5 stars !! i will defo be back h thank you !

Very intimate bar, laid back vibe. Some of the best known artists had played here including Ella Fitzgerald. Drinks are a bit more expensive than area restaurants as expected. 60 Brazilian reals per person cover charge. Not bad for the experience.

An absolutely incredible, intimate and cozy bar. The musicians were amazing and so talented, the drinks were great, and the whole venue just holds the energy of a magical place lost in time. I can’t wait to go back again. A must while you’re in Rio

Authentic vibe, sure—if you’re into dining with cockroaches. We paid a hefty cover charge only to be greeted by an infestation within minutes. Mentioned it to the staff, who suddenly acted clueless. Apparently, we discovered in 5 minutes what they’ve never noticed. No refund, of course.

Visiting from Miami. This is where Bossa Nova started! We have been two nights. There is a 50R Cover. The shows have been really good. The best was Marcos Ariel. Staff is all super friendly. Solid Caipirinhas, bar food was delicious. Try the Brazilian Cheese, Sausage, Cod balls, breaded shrimps. Good Air Conditioning. Really relaxed and enjoyable Brazilian Jazz and Classic Bossa Nova Samba in an intimate environment. Don't miss this temple to Bossa Nova Samba

Was in Rio for a couple of days and was looking for live bossa nova music. Good recommendation from the hotel receptionist. Did not disappoint! Cozy place, great service. Really enjoyed the music.

I Came here for Sunday night Jazz. The venue is very causal and intimate, maybe about 40 seats. The acoustics are great and the band playing is very talented. Didn't get his name but apparently the drummer plays with some famous people. The venue is located on a pedestrian street (meaning no vehicles ). The host /server was very hospitable and friendly. There is a small charge of about 40 Reais to enter and of course you buy drinks to support the house which if I may add are very affordable. Would I return? definitely!

Been here 5 times, never knowing who was singing or playing. And never disappointed!!!! Very small for a club - maybe 100 people. I've met musicians and singers, journalists and writers, just hanging out at the bar. Mostly bossa nova and samba. Saw Jussara Silveira the other night, Mark Isbell a few months ago, Miele, Amanda Bravo... It's Brasilian music in an intimate atmosphere - just like it was meant to be heard.
