LOUNGES, BARS & PUBS:
Void General Store (Largo da Batata)
A favorite among youngsters from all over São Paulo, Void is a clothing store that also has a bar. Hanging outside with friends drinking a “Catatônica” – a mix of Catuaba, lemon and tonic – or eating snacks like the vegan banana fritter is the thing to do there. Void is specially recommended for its affordable prices.
Void General Store – 10AM – 1AM

Entrance: FREE
Bardega (Itaim Bibi)

Bar Original (Moema)

But they also don’t disappoint when it comes to traditional cachaças, caipirinhas, and Brazilian food.
