Hocus Pocus DNA

Great hole in the wall bar brewery! I don't know if they have any association with the US Hocus pocus but very similar beer if you ate familiar! Pro: - variety of beer on draft - good food - affordable Con: - seating - bathrooms Overall a great spot to meet weekly with friends!

My new all time favourite place in Brazil (Previously Trilha Brewery, Sao Paulo.) Unbelievable beers. Staff are brilliant. Also watched them deal with a very uncomfortable situation impeccably.

Such a great brewery. The staff (English & non English speaking) were so friendly and helpful. They helped pick out my flight of beers with great recommendations. The Thai wrap was also super tasty. Highly recommend if you like beer and some unexpected food choices!

Enjoyed a flight of beers with a light snacks. Stayed a while having a couple more beers of which all were delicious. Only downside was lack of t-shirts in large, they had none and having seen the website before we flew to Rio we were all in for buying some. The artwork for the beers is phenomenal. Such a shame. Anyway, the beers. 👌

Overall, it was a good experience. The customer service was excellent. The reason for the 4 stars is that the Chicken Chicken No Fuba were not as delicious as they looked. We had a flight of beers consisting of numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, and 9 (see menu for a description of all beers). My favorites were number 5, a blonde beer similar to Blue Moon, and number 9, an IPA. The worst one was number 3; I didn’t really like it. The Porquin Desfiadin (empanadas) was very tasty. The vibe was great there. I will be back.

Wonderful selection of beers is an offbeat, cozy environment. Staff are super helpful

A Brewery That Casts a Spell! Hocus Pocus DNA is an absolute gem of a brewery that goes beyond just great drinks—it's an experience in itself! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by stunning artwork that adds a unique and vibrant touch to the atmosphere, making it feel like you're entering a world of craft and creativity. The selection of beers is impressive, offering a wide range of options to suit any palate, from IPAs to rich stouts and everything in between. Whether you're a beer enthusiast or just enjoy trying new flavours, there's something for everyone. For those who prefer non-alcoholic options, the variety of soft drinks is just as satisfying, with carefully curated choices that don’t disappoint. Although I didn’t try the food, the quality and care evident in the drinks and atmosphere suggest it would be worth a taste. Hocus Pocus DNA is not just a place to grab a drink; it's a destination to enjoy great company, immerse yourself in artistic surroundings, and savour well-crafted beverages. Highly recommend for a visit if you’re in the area and looking for a brewery that brings a little magic to the experience!

So far, this might be my favorite brewery in Rio. The beers were excellent and the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and some spoke English really well. You can get flights of 5 here. I tried the Coxinha de Falafel as an appetizer and it was quite good.
