Join the sambistas at this hot little bar
Walk into the body heat of this packed little hole-in-the-wall bar, named after the pau-Brasil (Brazilwood) tree out front – it's the tree from which the country itself takes its name – and you may feel like you’ve discovered São Paulo’s most authentic boteco. And you might even be right. This hidden gem in Pinheiros offers an excellent roda de samba (samba circle), with Tuesday’s roda featuring exclusively São Paulo samba. The music is hot, the beer is cold, and the music is totally infectious.
