The Top 10 Bars In Flamengo, Rio De Janeiro
Flamengo is a quiet neighborhood in the south zone of Rio. Whilst it doesn’t have the buzz of major tourist points such as Copacabana and Ipanema, it’s popular with the locals for its huge park for sports lovers, less-crowded beach and art museums. While the nighlife there is not as famous as other spots, it is still a popular choice, especially among the Cariocas. To get you started, we check out some of the best bars that Flamengo offers.
1. Devassa
Devassa
Devassa is a chain of successful botecos in Brazil. Botecos are small bars, typical in Brazil and a deep part of the social aspect of Rio life. Crafting its own beers, Devassa produces the popular Devassa Loura (blonde), Ruiva (red), and Negra (black) beers that each have their own distinct taste. Its Devassa Puro Malte Tropical Lager is also highly popular. Yet it’s not all about the beer here: Devassa also serves a mean yet sweet caipirinha and an impressive menu of cocktails.

2. Boteco Belmonte
Boteco Belmonte
A Rio classic, this chain of bars represents the modern style of botecos. Belmonte serves popular Brazilian appetizers such as pastels and deep fried balls of prawns, cheese or meat as well as a mean feijoada. Nearby Flamengo Park is the finishing point for the various annual 5km, 10km, and half marathon races, which makes Belmonte a popular drinking hole for a celebratory drink.

Armazem do Chopp
Antique decor and even a train make up the interior of this charming and friendly bar in Flamengo. It gets packed on the weekends as locals and tourists fill up the place to enjoy the cold beers on tap while taking in the welcoming and lively atmosphere. The added bonus of this place is undoubtedly the homemade pizza, which is simultaneously soft and crusty, and just perfect with any beer.
