If you’re looking to feel like you’ve discovered the real Rio de Janeiro or to get that “favela vibe” for your followers, this is your place. I have nothing against cultural manifestations—I’m glad the economy grows through countless influencers and TikTokers playing the new Magellans. However, the place offers nothing more than low-quality beers and caipirinhas, accompanied by music that, while surely beautiful, sounds terrible due to the sheer number of people making stories or going live. The noise is so overwhelming that you can’t hear anything unless you’re very close to the band. No one sings, and few people dance, leading me to conclude that the place is full of tourists who think they’re influencers. If you’re seeking an authentic experience, this isn’t it. Any restaurant with a nice live band has more soul. If you’re just curious, grab two drinks and go. There’s nothing else to see. But if you want to upload a story to your social media, then this is the perfect spot.

Beautiful setting with stairs chiseled into the surrounding rocks that lead to the slopy cobblestone streets of the neighborhood of Saúde. Since it is a major tourist attraction, this place gets so crowded that it becomes difficult to watch out for people who may have ill intentions. While it is largely a very peaceful, almost spiritual experience, some individuals may have hostile intentions, intentionally coughing straight into one's face to express their dislike of foreigners or making jokes about the "gringos." Since I speak fluently Portuguese (out of my love to Brazil), I had to listen to the sarcastic and offensive remarks of some Cariocas. I just don't understand why they do not embrace the people who love their country. So, keep a watchful eye around you while you enjoy the beautiful Samba De Raiz. This place is best enjoyed with a group of Brazilian friends.

It gets very busy. We went at 8 and got a seat on the rock. It’s very slippery though so wear good shoes and trousers as it can be sticky too. We saw three people fall and spill their entire drinks on the crowd! Haha! It gets very crowded and we left at midnight but was still pumping. This was a Monday night. They have hundreds of caipirinhas stands and some take ages to make but are very very strong. You can buy food on a stick. There are no toilets apart from paying to go into the bars. Be aware of your valuables as it does become packed!! Samba music as well as some hip hop! Also get an Uber there… it’s in downtown Rio surrounded by quiet derelict streets. But the street itself has Loads of police cars and police at the end of the strip where you can drop off and wait for your Uber.

This place is the ultra rare 6 out of 5 stars! It might be "festive perfection". If you like Lapa, you will absolutely LOVE this place!!! A super safe street party 5 nights a week... tons of different atmospheres to choose from... with varied music. It's about 20% gay, so it keeps the intolerant, aggressive types out. The drink shacks are in the dozens, super cheap, huge strong as you wish, and incredibly well made. There's meat sticks & every other kind of food. You can go to the super crowded zones & dance or stay in any of the varied outskirt areas to chat, flirt, hang out, take photos, etc. Tons of gorgeous artsy girls, street art, and a really joyous feeling! Take an uber as it's tricky to get to and surrounded by more questionable areas perhaps. Go! You will never forget it!

I've never been to this place, and I found this gentlemen quiet, selling his candies. I stopped by and asked him if everything was fine, since a lot of people where dancing and he was standing still. He said he enjoys seeing the young's excitementment. He also said that his doctor mentioned that if he continues on the way he is, he will probably exceed 100 years. I enjoyed the talk a lot. He is supporting his family and enjoying in his head, at the same time. I was touched by him and I gave him some cash, that would, othewise, be used to buy some more beers ;). It is interesting to stop by and learn from the POV of others. Most of the time I get surprised.

Great brazilian atmosphere vibe, chilled environment with nice cultural samba, there are several Bars, live Samba music, drinks and food on the street, a lot of people! You must be very careful of thefts, it is not advisable to get away from the places with many people, keep in mind that it is the perfect environment to commit robberies. If possible do not go alone, and dont leave by foot after midnight. From 8pm the sambistas begin to play, you can take the subway and get off at the Uruguayan station to walk 3 blocks until you reach the place. ENJOY IT!
