We have the top three picks for this Wednesday, and below there is a list of bars and lounges that are always a good option.

LIVE:
Choros para Alfredinho @ Casa do Choro (Centro) – Come and pay tribute to a legend of Rio bohemia with a night of choro in honor of Alfredinho, the late don of Copacabana’s Bip Bip bar.

Throughout his three decades at the helm, Alfredinho and Bip Bip have been honored in several songs by numerous composers, including Mauricio Carrilho, Jayme Vignoli, Luiz Flavio Alcofra, Luciana Rabello, Paulo Aragão, Afonso Machado, and Lucas Porto. This evening they will be played live in what is sure to be an unforgettable night of Brazilian music.
