If You Only Go to One Place

Bar Bip Bip, Copacabana

If you only do one thing tonight, squeeze into this legendary 18 m² boteco for the Sunday roda de samba at 7 pm – tonight’s anchor. Founded in 1968 and just 18 m², it is one of the greatest places to hear music in Rio – Paulinho da Viola, Beth Carvalho and Teresa Cristina have all passed through, there’s no cover, and on a Sunday it is the city’s most magical room. Arrive 6.30 pm to sit.
