On the bustling Rua do Lavradio, Quintal Carioca holds its own among all the competition thanks to its relaxed atmosphere and enticing outdoor terrace. The first floor, its walls festooned with photos of quintessentially carioca landmarks like the arches and main square, hosts occasional live MPB, whilst the upstairs dancefloor and club gets going at the weekends with live samba de raiz (roots samba) and an eclectic bunch of DJs.
