Going head-to-head with neighbouring Bar da Praia, Bar do Lado follows the same path of post-beach relaxation with straightforward nibbles and a decent selection of drinks. The purple interior looks better under the dim light of evening, while the addition of two clocks, neither of which actually work (intentionally) is either the kind of thing that will endear you to it or not. If the details are lost on you then all to the good, there is a whole ocean out there to gawp at whilst sucking back on a well-mixed caipirinha.
