Brazilian waitstaff in faux Swiss-German attire sling the city's famed Therezópolis beer at this cavernous beer hall, built to celebrate the brewery's centennial in 2012. Weekend patrons spill into the adjacent beer garden, bistro, fondue restaurant and kitschy chapel with piped-in Gregorian chants. There's international pub grub nightly, plus occasional live music.
