"Try this place to enjoy the Rio's atmosphere. Located in a convenient location, close to many other bars and pubs you can have a cold beer outside and feel the crowd before go to some night club. Tip: if you wanna have a beer quickly and pay cheaper there's a street container right in to the corner which sells a really cold ones..."

"Boa Praça — where Rio slows down, beautifully Living in Leblon means choosing places that feel like an extension of home — and Boa Praça is exactly that. Right in front of my house, it’s the kind of bar that understands atmosphere as much as it understands hospitality. As the sun goes down, live music sets the tone: relaxed, soulful, never intrusive. The energy is effortless — locals, conversations flowing, tables spilling onto the square, and that unmistakable Rio charm that can’t be manufactured. It feels curated without trying too hard. Drinks are well executed, service is warm and attentive, and the ambiance invites you to stay longer than planned. Whether it’s a casual weekday evening or a lively weekend night, Boa Praça consistently delivers a sense of place — authentic, social, and deeply Leblon. A neighborhood classic done right. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for live music lovers, casual nights out, and anyone who values ambience as much as what’s in the glass."

"Great drinks, food was average but I only tried snacks. Unfortunately waiters don't speak English - but we figured it out. They charge you extra if that's football night, but also give you free beer if Flamenco scores!"
