Boteco, botequim, bar, pé-sujo or sujinho – the names can vary but the irreverent, relaxed spirit is always there. Continue to read for a great sample of Brazilian bars collected by Flickr.
And one more thing: tonight I will be at Bar Veloso, considered by many the best place to have a caipirinha in São Paulo. If you are in town and show up at Veloso after 9 pm, try to spot me (I will be the only woman with natural red her). The first Deep Brazil reader that finds me will get a free caipirinha! Bar Veloso´s address: Rua Conceição Veloso, 56, in Vila Mariana.
See you there,
Regina
P.S.- I never met Veloso´s owners and this is not an ad, in no way, shape or form. I just like the place.
For what it’s worth, here are some photos of various botequim or bars I like in Brazil (Mineiro is included). Papo, Pinga e Petisco is on the site of the bar where Elis Regina had her first show in Sao Paulo.

Cool, great tips. Hope to share a beer with you at some point in one of these spots.
Sorry, I accidentally failed to delete a bad link for the Papo, Pinga e Petisco photo. The second one is the one that works.
