Check here 5 incredible bars that you can't leave São Paulo without know them.
I was so impressive during the World Cup!
There was a lot of foreigners here in São Paulo. Yes, I talked with some such as from Uruguay, Croatia, England, Canada, Holland, Argentina.
Ok, the World Cup finished some weeks ago but I need to write something about the favorite place for them. We received a lot of foreigners as you know, they chose a place to watch the matches and also drink, have a fun time, etc. They got there easily by subway. You're right if you're thinking on Vila Madalena.
I'm very proud! Vila is very beautiful with a lot of bars, restaurants, hostels and pubs, also you can spend a time in square which we called "Praça do pôr do sol" (Sunset Square). It's beautiful, relaxing and why not romantic.

It's near Vila Madalena subway station. You can walk away to get there. The bar is simple but warm and full. Probably, you'll wait a long time, maybe a hour. For this reason, the luch time is extended untill 5pm. Beyond that, everything is delicious there, so if you wait a long time, it'll worth it. Don't be surprised if you find some books there or stuffs to buy like grocery. For me, these things makes the place more attractive and interesting.

I’d like introduce you to the other pub that I like so much when I go out with my friends or when I want to go on a date (when that happens): Partisans Pub. You may well ask me “What type of things are in this pub? “. Well, I’ll try to show what things it has and why it’s so special for me.
I went there for the first time last year for a birthday of a friend of mine. The place is adorable, warm and brings you and your friends closer after a busy, stressful week of work. The menu has great snacking options with French Fries served with Bacon, Onion Rings, Burn’ em All, cheese or mushrooms and other veggie options. However, if you’d want eat something different, you can order salad or burgers, but it also it has vegetarian options.
Of course you can do more than just eat, maybe you’re thinking in terms of… beers. Am I right? Well, the Drink’s menu you can find Eisenbahn Beer, Fuller’s London Porter, Heineken, Guinness, Edelweiss, Duffy, etc, and the famous caipirinha as well as other special drinks.

Just call them or send an e-mail reserving a table and telling how many friends you’ll invite to your party (You’ll love celebrate your birthday there). Oh and I was almost forgetting two important facts about Partisans pub: 1 – Confederations Cup: Partisans has a program so they show games on their facebook page. You can see other games there on NBA, NHL, etc.
