Bip Bip

Frommer's Review

Another internationally acclaimed botequim -- the Parisian daily Le Monde featured this tiny bar on its front page -- Bip Bip owes its fame to an outstanding musical program. Tuesday and Sunday nights are the best evenings to catch some great samba or pagode (a more mellow kind of samba); it's not unusual to see some Brazilian greats such as Beth Carvalho, Nelson Sargento, Walter Alfaiate, and others come out to sing and play. Owner Alfredo Melo -- Alfredinho to most everyone -- tries to keep his neighbors happy, so on Sunday the live music winds down early at 10pm. The bar stays open daily until 1am.
