SÃO PAULO · NIGHTLIFE
Bar Ó do Borogodó
If you only have time for ONE place tonight, make it this legendary samba corner in Vila Madalena. It is the quintessential São Paulo Friday: live, sweaty, joyful samba de raiz played by incredible musicians crammed into a tiny, buzzing street-corner bar. The crowd is a beautiful mix of twenty-something Paulistanos, foreign residents, and old-school bohemians. Arrive by 9:30 pm to claim pavement space before it reaches blissful, shoulder-to-shoulder chaos.
