Did you know that, since 2007, the first Friday in August has been set aside to celebrate International Beer Day. The date was created in California, but around here, we know that cariocas don’t even need a specific day for it! So how about a list of the best places to drink beer in Rio de Janeiro? Check out our guide!
Barel
The recently opened bar has already become one of Cariocas’ favorite spots. At Barel, you can start with a cold draft beer and take the opportunity to try the house snacks, which are always delicious. So, for Beer Day, the tip is to order Barel ‘s Caldereta draft beer and the spicy marinated chicken tulips to go with it, served with ranch sauce!

Ximeninho
The original name is Bar e Restaurante Os Ximenes, but for the intimate, it’s known as Ximeninho. The place is a real meeting point for cariocas, offering good food and cheap beer. The dishes are well served, perfect for sharing with the gang, and there is beer of various types and flavors.

Carioca da Gema
The bar that looks like a carioca is not left out of this list! At Carioca da Gema, there’s always a roda de samba going on, as well as delicious food and a cold beer to make the atmosphere even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is also very charming and it’s worth getting friends together to enjoy the evening there!

The Immortals
Another favorite spot among Cariocas! That’s because the Os Imortais bar is always busy, and the different beer labels are one of the house’s highlights. It’s also worth mentioning the decoration, with big names from music, cinema and TV printed on the walls. This Beer Day, if you buy 3 Lagunitas beers, you get an exclusive Lagunitas glass.

Delirium Café
Despite having coffee in its name, it’s worth stopping by Delirium for a beer – and not for nothing, the place has already been voted the best in Rio! There are more than 20 beer taps, a beer list from various countries, wines and delicious food to pair with them! There’s happy hour every day, with drinks on sale!

Bar Velho Adonis
This is already a cultural heritage site in Rio de Janeiro and, of course, one of the best places to drink beer in the city. But that’s not all! Velho Adonis keeps its roots in its dishes and aesthetics, with typically Portuguese flavors, but in the way that cariocas love! So, take advantage of Beer Day to order that cold draft beer with codfish cakes – you can’t go wrong!

Caju Gastrobar
The relaxed atmosphere and revamped dishes of boteco gastronomy (with options made with the typical Brazilian fruit) guarantee the good reputation of Caju Gastrobar. And if it’s a beer you’re after, then you’re in for a treat! So, on Beer Day, take your friends to share a bucket of beer, where you pay 4 and get 5!
