Known for being one of the few bars to draw the reluctant Leblon set out of their corner of the city, Caroline Café has a warm, American saloon feel with a good terrace out front and some fine cocktails to try. The menu ranges from Brazilian to American to Mexican as well as incorporating a separate sushi bar, and upstairs can be hired out for private events. There's a great midweek happy hour from 6-9pm with buy on get one free on chopp, caipirinhas and bottled beer enticing the early crowd.
