Amigão

Brasília


Amiable and no-frills, this neighborhood bar occupies twin garage-like spaces and is a prime spot for a casual beer or three. There's a menu of steaks, but go for the daily specials (R$48 to R$70 for two), which rotate through feijoada (bean and meat stew), pork knuckle and the like.
