The boteco & pé-sujo

The botecos and pé-sujo are the traditional bars in Rio de Janeiro frequent to enjoy beer, snack food and good company. The most famous and popular boteco – and branche – in Rio de Janeiro is Belmonte. But you also have bars like Devassa and Veloso, that are quiet popular. The pé-sujo is the colloquial term for the simplest form of botecos, the dirty feet you get from standing or sitting on the actual street. If you like to keep it low profile and mingle with the locals, this is a nice option. Just sit down on one of the plastic chairs on the side walk, order a beer and enjoy.
