Bar do Gomes (Internet)
Cariocas(Locals) are runs on beer. There's no doubt. These lands, it is critical that beer is stupidly cold, also known in Brazilian Portuguese as "mofada" ou "Canela de Pedreiro."Pardon the guys craft and imported beers for the locals generally popular "beer" to be minimally presentable must be properly chilled..
Pumpkin cookie stuffed with provolone and pepper sauce with orange (The author) But to be adopted by local (yes, the Cariocas has the special affection for his favorite bar) the establishment must offer beyond the "icy blonde" a snacks menu, popularly known as "appetizers." Well, the appropriate parameters set, we will present to our dear reader the main bars of Santa with the warranty seal provided by the one who has taken much icy in each.
Bar do mineiro (Internet)
Bar do Mineiro: Located in Largo dos Guimarães, the heart of the neighborhood, " O Mineiro" is the darling of tourists and residents of the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro. On weekends, its sidewalks fill and are played by the beautiful youth of Rio de Janeiro.Its main snack, the bean pastel - yes, bean pastel or in Portuguese "pastel de feijão) - it is really delicious. If you want to have lunch and managed to table, forget the diet and eat its popular Feijoada ( Black beans, with salted pieces of pork, red meat and sausage). It is really delicious. The bar decor is fascinating. Mix several references totally random, especially the paintings of tropicalistas and a road sign on which is written: "Pire"(be crazy). I love this board.The bar is very friendly and very well located, but its weakness is that, in moments of high capacity, the beer may not be as cold. Also, higher prices than usual in Santa (Santa Teresa) away from many local residents.
Bar do Gomes (The author)
Bar do Gomes: The Gomes Bar is undoubtedly the most frequented by the residents of Santa. So known, the place where it is located, an interesting corner of historic buildings, is now called simply "Gomes." So from now on, when a resident of Santa tells you that lives on Gomes, do not worry, he does not live in the bar. Even had people who once lived at the bar, but that's a story for another post ... In the evening ends, the place is full of interesting people. There are found artists, intellectuals and other commoners lovers of a "chilled beer," as the one who writes you. The bar occupies the site of a century-old warehouse and, to our delight, kept all the decoration of the old establishment. It's beautiful, especially for those who appreciate architecture and antiques. The snacks are great. Enjoy German croquette or pumpkin cookie with dried meat. The codfish balls and an interesting tidbit called pork Carrot are highly recommended. If space remains in the belly of our dear reader, still I recommend the minas bundle is also great. Yes, Santa Teresa has not escaped the gourmet way who took over the Rio's taverns. But since the movement is inevitable, we can only enjoy and lick your lips.
Bar do Serginho (The author)
Bar do Serginho: In a very particular corner of Santa Teresa, near the Largo do Curvelo, it is located this is a jewel of the neighborhood and the stage of the foundation of the traditional carnival block of the Carmelites. Bar do Serginho something for beginners, it is not known by the general public transiting Santa Teresa. The bar actually is a mixture of a grocery store, bar, and cafe. Its unique charm comes from the fact of getting to congregate in the same environment, imported wines and goat cheeses, with buckets hanging from the ceiling. Otherwise, it would not Serginho Bar.
View from Bar do serginho (The author)
Across the street, there is a short wall with stunning views of the Sugar Loaf. Take your time there enjoying a cold beer. Worth it. The location of the bar gives the visitor also a cool breeze that blows of Guanabara Bay and refreshes the evening of our dear reader.
In this bar, you can ask any hams and cheeses, after all, you're in a grocery store, and everything is of excellent quality. But if you want something more, indicate the good brie with apricot with ham or smoked meat. Enjoy also for chatting with the locals as "the crown" of Serginho always have a good story to tell.

Goyabeira at Largo das Neves (Internet)
Goyabeira:
The Largo dos Guimarães is the most cosmopolitan of Santa wide, but the Largo das Neves is what presents the visitor with the most beautiful architecture. I am in love with this place. It is situated one of the most welcoming bars of Santa: the Goyabeira.
Largo das Neves (internet)
If you get a chance, sit at one of the tables located next to the fence that separates the bar down the street. The view is worth it. The bar also has a bookcase for the customer who wants to read something while enjoying the bucolic atmosphere of Largo das Neves. If you count the time I've been there, I could have read War and Peace, Tolstoy's. But it's never too late.
The Goyabeira offers cold beer always (always!) And a menu of very tasty appetizers, especially the pastries, homemade dough pizza (the eggplant is a must) and the roast beef sandwich. All excellent.
Bar Simplesmente (Internet)
Simplesmente:
Finally, reserve our dear reader a fascinating Santa's bar: the Simplesmente. Situated very close to the "Mineiro" and the Largo dos Guimarães, the restaurant is very traditional in the neighborhood and is one of the main landmarks of the Santa Teresa emergence on the scene "cult" Rio.The Simplesmente is widely frequented by the people of Santa Teresa. For a resident like me, it is impossible to go to the "Simplesmente" and not greet at least half a dozen known. The bar starts "pumping" at night and has the great merit of being one of the last restaurants close in Santa Teresa. If the "Simplesmente" closed and you still want have one for the road, my dear, better go home ... or take the last beer can at Largo dos Guimaraes; o).The bar is famous for its broths and soups (beans, yams, and peas) and their pizza is superb. The beef jerky with cassava is of excellent quality and prices tend to be quite honest there.Address:Bar do Mineiro: Paschoal Carlos Magno St, 99, Santa Teresa, Rio de Janeiro.
