Barzin is the Ipanema institution that's been pulling Cariocas since 1986 — a multi-room music-and-dance venue with bossa-nova, MPB and forró programmes plus a strong cocktail menu.
The format is unmistakable Ipanema: live music multiple nights, a long inside bar, plus a smaller upstairs lounge. The crowd is mixed Carioca and pilgrim, leaning 30-50. Cover BRL 30-50.
