Latest reviews from Sao Paulo
| 40 /100 Living Heineken (Restaurant) GUARULHOS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT “This id one of several Heineken bars at the airport. There are better choices vs food.“ |
| 74 /100 RUA CUNHA GAGO, 129 “Good spot, mix of taps (around 20ish) that are pretty well chosen and a fridge full of bottles. The bottle prices are a bit steep compared with other places in town, so make sure it's something you can't find anywhere else. Good service, and they have some pub grub, too.“ |
| 44 /100 AV. PEDROSO DE MORAIS, 604 “Not gonna lie - this place has no business scoring so high on here. It's an older school brewery that hasn't kept up at all with where SP is today. I popped in for a flight, beers were old fashioned and just okay on the execution. The service was okay - they had a large group and seemed overwhelmed. But I'm not sure this is a top 10 place in Pinheiros much less the whole city.“ |
| 66 /100 Asterix (Bar) AL. JOAQUIM EUGENIO DE LIMA, 573 “Just off Avenida Paulista, this was full of businessmen eating lunch on my visit. A combination of taps and bottles, with a decent selection of each. Decent service. Worth a stop if you're in the area.“ |
| 68 /100 Empório Santa Therezinha - Mercado Municipial (Beer Store) RUA DE CANTAREIRA 306 “Solid beer store in the central market. It's in a corner so not the easiest to find. There's 10 taps and a place to drink. Also, a small selection of bottles. You're probably better off shopping at EAP for the selection but since you're going to the market anyway, leave room for a pint and space in your bag for Santa Terezinha.“ |
| 62 /100 R. PADRE CARVALHO, 769 - PINHEIROS, “The SP tap room is handy for a lot of other beer places in Pinheiros. The brewery itself is in Ponta Grossa, Paraná. It was quiet on my visit, the proprietors were friendly, and they had a fairly substantial beer list, although the execution seems more dated than some of SP's finer breweries. Worth a quick stop, I'd say.“ |
| 54 /100 R. DOS PINHEIROS, 227 “This one's close to the Pinheiros Dogma, and part of a solid crawl around the neighbourhood...though it's basically as far from EAP as you can get and still be in Pinheiros. I would say fairly typical 3 Brasseurs although I've only ever seen overseas once. Small selection - just one beer was unique to Brasil on my visit. Service was fine. Food was reasonably priced and quite good.“ |
| 74 /100 RUA HARMONIA 472 “Popped into Croma, up a hill from Batman Alley. Split between open air and indoor, with beers available in small pours. Ordered a bunch of 100ml pours to try a few. High quality, lots of hazies, smoothies and pastry stouts. One of the better spots I went to in Sao Paulo, and SP has a solid beer scene.“ |
| 70 /100 R. FRANCISCO LEITÃO, 150 “Since I was staying in Pinheiros, this was my Dogma of choice, but there's a branch in many convenient neighbourhoods. I arrived right after opening on a weeknight and it was quiet. Nice white space with an outdoor section out back. Sat at the bar, had a bunch of samples. Beers looked impeccable but weren't always there on delivery, especially the high grav stuff. Still, it's a solid brewery and this location can make for an easy crawl of Pinheiros / Vila Madalena.“ |
| 92 /100 305 RUA VUPABUSSU “EAP is fucking awesome. Best beer bar I've been to in the southern hemisphere, let alone South America. That's right, it's better than the finest establishments in all of Honiara, Melbourne or Mbabane. 40+ taps, all from the best breweries in Brazil. I knew I was fucked the minute I saw the chalkboard. Lambic bag in box. 600 cans and bottles of Brazilian beer (and then a few hundred more of very expensive foreign products). Seriously, I could live in SP and never run out of killer Brazilian beer because of EAP. I never saw anyone eat here, even though they have a menu. But beerwise, this place needs to be the first and last stop for any Ratebeerian going to Sao Paulo. Don't fuck around. Book an Airbnb nearby, too.“ |
| 70 /100 R. MATEUS GROU, 122 - PINHEIROS “Decent place in Pinheros, bit on the hipsterish side, but I liked it. 8 taps and about 100 bottles. Lots of bars and restaurants in the area. Its one of those self serving beer places that seem to pop up all over Brazil. Well, they also pour 0,3l glasses for you, if you dont want to do it yourself, but thats only half the fun. Selection is not too impressive, none of the latest craze breweries (with the exception of Hocus Pocus). But I got to try 3 new breweries with some interesting styles for 10 Reais. Cant complain. Competitive prices. Cool music selection from pop punk ala Blink 182 to Bob Dylan.“ |
| 86 /100 RUA CUNHA GAGO, 129 “Cool place that is around the corner from my Airbnb. I came for lunch. They were quite busy but I was able to get a table. They do lunch menus, which are a good deal. Veggie options are a bit limited. 15 taps with a width variety of breweries. Focus was on hoppy stuff, but they also had a few sours and some other styles. My waitress did not speak english, but service was good, efficient and fast. Food was pretty good too. They have a big double fridge with a nice selection of local craft beers. Lots of stuff in cans.
The athmosphere during lunch was a bit too hectic for me, but overall this is a very cool place. Ah yeah, 200ml is the smallest size, but the waitress was happy to bring me a shot class of my beer beforehand (I did not even ask for it).“ |
| 88 /100 FrangÓ Cervejaria (Bar) LARGO DA MATRIZ NOSSA SENHORA DO Ó, 168 “Cerveja boa com boa companhia“ |
| 100 /100 305 RUA VUPABUSSU “Melhor lugar em sao paulo para encontrar as melhores cervejas do mundo todo.
Adorei“ |
| 80 /100 Perro Libre Pinheiros (Bar) RUA CUNHA GAGO, 83 “Rather nice self-service beer bar in Pinheiros. Very innovative idea, I like it. You are given a magnetic card, and you draft your own beer, paying by the milliliter. Ambiance is nice, with also tables outside, and an open kitchen. Service is limited to people explaining how the system works, making you pay, helping with drafting if you need help. Still, careful. Selection is pretty good, with 15 taps, mostly by the same brand (Perro Libre). Quality of the beers is also good. Overall, a super experience! I very much enjoyed it. I suggest it to all beer reviewers. I drafted small batches, like 120ml, just to review the beers. :)“ |
| 70 /100 RUA HARMONIA 472 “Another nice brewpub in Sao Paulo! 14 beers on tap, all theirs, I think. Very wide and adventurous selection, maybe with too much emphasis on juicy IPAs :) (there were THREE!). Service in English unfortunately was very scarce. Unfortunately I didn't try their food. Overall, another nice place to go in the neighbourhood.“ |
| 84 /100 São Paulo Tap House (Bar) RUA GIRASSOL, 340, VILA MADALENA “Nice beer pub, with 40 taps. They had 32 beers the night I went. They had to call one guy in particular (the only one who could speak English) to serve me. Selection is obviously wide and satisfying. I had a burger, which was great! Prices are OK.“ |
| 66 /100 BEC Bar (Bar) RUA PADRE GARCIA VELHO 72 “Nice little bar with an internal outside patio. Six beers on tap, all craft. Nice environment. Prices are OK. Overall, I liked it.“ |
| 78 /100 R. BALTAZAR CARRASCO, 187 “Nice place, close to a major road, with classy interior. Professional service, with good English. About 15 beers on tap. Some confusion on prices, as my beer was listed as 18 reais for half-pint, and in the end it was 9.90. Who knows! But overall, a nice place! Would like to try their food next time...“ |
| 84 /100 305 RUA VUPABUSSU “Nice bar in the bar area of Sao Paulo. Ambiance is nice and lively. Hundreds of bottles are in clear view in addition to the 42-43 taps. Wow! Waiters cannot understand English. A minus! Selection, as mentioned, is great! To be noticed: they are somehow obsessed with imperial stouts, as at least one third of the tap list of comprised of them. Food was good too: my friend and I had rice with pork. It was rather good. Prices were OK. Overall, a must!“ |
| 92 /100 RUA CUNHA GAGO, 129 “Cool beer bar in the bar and restaurant area in Sao Paulo. Ambiance very lively and well lighted, full of people. A little too noisy, I must say. A good number of tables available, but you can also sit at the bar. Service is great, everyone understands English. They actually also post in English on their Facebook page. Selection is wide style-wise, from pilsener to pastry stout. Some are their own beers. My cheeseburger with gorgonzola was very tasty. Value is good. Overall, a super place! Incredible that it was still not listed on ratebeer. I had to add it!“ |
| 66 /100 AV. PEDROSO DE MORAIS, 604 “Nice brewpub in the bar area of Sao Paulo. Ambiance is fairly relaxed, darkish light environment. Service is very attentive, but very limited English spoken or understood. I got their sampler, with five beers, but I counted seven on tap. As food I just had some fries, but they do burgers as well. Prices are good. Overall, a nice place to try.“ |
| 86 /100 305 RUA VUPABUSSU “Best place in Sao Paolo, for sure. Very old school look, with a long wooden bar. Close to 40 taps, slightly less expensive than other places, 150 ml pours are anywhere from 10 to 18 reais, emphasis on modern trendy styles like NEIPA, sours and imperial stouts. Good service if a bit surly. They use, as most places in SP, the bar code system. Huge selection of imports and national craft bottles, to go. This is a must in Sao Paulo. Free wifi.“ |
| 76 /100 Empório Santa Therezinha - Mercado Municipial (Beer Store) RUA DE CANTAREIRA 306 “A great place in busy Mercado Central. All domestic craft beer 15R a pour. You just go buy fichas at the cash and away you go. If the mercado is full, could be challenging. Plenty of restaurants to snack.“ |
| 80 /100 Asterix (Bar) AL. JOAQUIM EUGENIO DE LIMA, 573 “A great little place with decently priced taps (10 to 20 reais for 300 ml pours), great bottle and cans selection, good service, big patio, decent mix of foods (burgers, pizza and Brazilian). Impressed.“ |
| 72 /100 Beer4u Cervejas Especiais (Beer Store) RUA CRISTÓVÃO DE BURGOS, 74 “I was VIP from 2013 to midle 2018; now I'm tired.“ |
| 82 /100 305 RUA VUPABUSSU “They have a lot of beers here, i'd say 50-50 locals and imports, many drafts and a load of bottles. Ambiance is OK, generally packed and busy, the service method is weird you have a card number to order at the desk and they will bring you the drink. It seemed a bit pricey to me, 475ml cans of local beer goes in the 35-40 R$ range. Prices for cans/bottles are not exposed, you are supposed to pick one and check at the barcode scanner. But selection indeed is impressive and the area is nice, worth a visit.“ |
| 76 /100 Vaca Veia (Bar) R. MANUEL GUEDES, 199 - ITAIM BIBI “Probably the busiest place in Itaim Bibi. Very "local" tropical style, on the corner of the ward practically without walls and packed with nice people. Although they have a couple of 60cl "micros" what you go here for is a bucket of frozen Original. Great place to hang out with friends, food is also good and you can have dinner if you like being right in the action. Service is great also. Relatively cheap considering the area.“ |
| 66 /100 Cão Véio (Bar) RUA JOÃO MOURA, 871 “Been there a 3-4 years ago, a nice rock style place, sort of a club. I was told this was good for food, but we just had a drink. Mostly imports as far as i remember.“ |
| 94 /100 São Paulo Tap House (Bar) RUA GIRASSOL, 340, VILA MADALENA “It is a really fucking good tavern you can eat and drink nice beers. You can enjoy it.“ |
| 100 /100 FrangÓ Cervejaria (Bar) LARGO DA MATRIZ NOSSA SENHORA DO Ó, 168 “The best of São Paulo tô drink beer“ |
| 100 /100 Coronel Santinho (Bar) RUA DR ELISIO DE CASTRO 300 “Fantastic Brazilian beers and foods...great environment ....it seems you are in your house with friends...“ |
| 92 /100 Comedoria Gonzales (Restaurant) 71 BOX 85, R. PEDRO CRISTI, 31 - PINHEIROS “No Mercado Pinheiros. Ótima opção para um chopp e um ceviche.“ |
| 90 /100 Mercado Municipal de Santo Amaro (Grocery Store) R. MIN. ROBERTO CARDOSO ALVES, 359 - SANTO AMARO “Mercado de Santo Amaro tem diversas opções para comprar uma boa cerveja em SP. Vale a visita.“ |
