Bar dos Arcos

Hidden beneath the grand Theatro Municipal, this is one of São Paulo’s most distinctive places for a drink. The vaulted room gives the bar much of its appeal, with old brick, stone arches, and a sense of history that feels unusual without becoming stiff. Cocktails are central here, but the setting is what makes a night at Bar dos Arcos memorable. It suits anyone who wants a bar with character, strong design, and a mood that feels a little removed from the city above.
