Alice Bar

Rio de Janeiro


Hordes of young drinkers spill out onto the sidewalks around Alice Bar, merging with the crowds from nearby bars to make this one of the liveliest spots in the city. The upbeat vibe continues inside with color-shifting, Wonderland-inspired graffiti and tightly packed tables. Barman Walter Garin, a renowned mixologist, is responsible for the cocktail menu.

The food menu includes a wide selection of excellent petiscos (bar snacks) and more substantial dishes, perfect for sharing.
