About this experience
his isn’t your average pub crawl — it’s a night inside Rio’s true party soul.
Guided by Carol, a local mixologist and storyteller, you’ll explore five iconic bars across Lapa, each one revealing a new flavor, rhythm, and local ritual.
From craft beers to fruit-infused caipirinhas, every stop blends traditional Brazilian bites with the city’s electric energy.
Between bars, you’ll pass landmarks like the Selarón Steps and Lapa Arches, meeting fellow travelers and locals along the way.
It’s a night that fuses iconic landmarks, local flavors, and real connection, half sightseeing, half celebration.
Expect laughter, drinks that tell stories, and a social vibe that turns strangers into friends.
You’ll even take home a Cook in Rio souvenir shot glass — and our Five-Star Guarantee: if it’s not five-star, you don’t pay for four.
