Cine Botequim

Rio de Janeiro


Vintage film posters and the odd Star Wars figurine adorn the old stone walls at this atmospherically lit space at the north end of Centro. The after-work crowd comes for Rio craft beers, an extensive appetizer menu, and screenings of big football games. DJs occasionally add to the good cheer.
