Sao Paulo 🇧🇷 Bar | Drinking in the bank's underground vault

🏠 SubAstor Bar do Cofre 🗺️ R. João Brícola, 24 - Centro Histórico de São Paulo, São Paulo - SP, 01014-900 🍰 The "Birthday Cake" Building Mystery Driving through São Paulo, I’d always spot this building that looks like a giant birthday cake. During the city’s anniversary, someone on Instagram even edited a video turning it into a literal cake to celebrate! 🎂 But I never knew where it was—until a Brazilian colleague took us there, revealing it’s the Farol Santander building near 25th Street. 🔐 From Bank Vault to Speakeasy Vibes While the building itself is a museum (40 BRL ticket for floor access), the basement bar requires no entry fee. Walking in, my mind immediately went to Money Heist—it’s identical to the bank vault in the show! 🔒 Massive metal doors, rows of old safety deposit boxes—except now, it’s a moody bar instead of a heist set. 🌙 Dim Lights & Underground Cool Under dim, reddish lighting, people chatted quietly (apparently it’s packed at night—reservations needed!). We couldn’t stay long, but the vibe was pure vintage intrigue. Prices are a mystery, but it’s definitely on my "return to explore" list. 📍 Pro Tips for Vault Hunters Skip the museum ticket if you’re just here for drinks—basement access is free; Go at night for the full effect, but book ahead; Channel your inner Money Heist character while ordering a cocktail (seriously, the setting demands it). #CocktailBar #SpeakeasyVibes #UrbanExploration #BarHopping
