I'm staying in Sao Paulo for 3 weeks, working on my own. Does anyone know some good friendly bars to visit?

Question

It's not the best thing to do on your own, but it's either that or staying in the hotel by myself. I can't speak portuguese, but a few drinks should help with that!

Anybody in Sao Paulo reading this wanna drink ha?!

Answer 1

Sorry, I don't know any myself but when I was in Rio for a year I found a good web site called Gringos.com. Their are loads of Brits and yanks in Sao Paulo who have regular meets in a few bars, try it

Answer 2

I found some sites that I think it could help you:

http://www.lonelyplanet.com/worldguide/b...

http://www.obaoba.com.br  (in Portuguese)

I usually go out to All Black Irish Pub: http://www.allblack.com.br/  (in Portuguese)

And I used to go to O'Malleys, but I'm not pretty sure if they are still working.

Also there is a typical famous brazilian bar called Bar Brahma (if you like MPB or Samba, that's your place). I don't like samba, so  I've never been there but Pierce Brosnan visited this bar about 2 months ago. http://www.barbrahmasp.com/grupo/  (in Portuguese)

Answer 3

Sao Paulo is most dangerous and ugly city of world (TIMES).

It's 7 times violence of New York and 6 times of Rio de Janeiro violence and 3 times Iraq violence.

It's better you Rio de Janeiro city. See it:
