his isn’t your average pub crawl — it’s a night inside Rio’s true party soul. Guided by Carol, a local mixologist and storyteller, you’ll explore five iconic bars across Lapa, each one revealing a new flavor, rhythm, and local ritual. From craft beers to fruit-infused caipirinhas, every stop blends traditional Brazilian bites with the city’s electric energy. Between bars, you’ll pass landmarks like the Selarón Steps and Lapa Arches, meeting fellow travelers and locals along the way. It’s a night that fuses iconic landmarks, local flavors, and real connection, half sightseeing, half celebration. Expect laughter, drinks that tell stories, and a social vibe that turns strangers into friends. You’ll even take home a Cook in Rio souvenir shot glass — and our Five-Star Guarantee: if it’s not five-star, you don’t pay for four.

Came out smarter
Very friendly and knowledgeable about all sorts of things
Response from the operator: "Came out smarter" might be our new favorite compliment! 😉 Exploring a city's nightlife is always so much more fun when you have a guide who can share all those quirky, knowledgeable details along the way. Glad you enjoyed the drinks and the conversation! Cheers! Maira from Cook in Fiesta

Great time!
Hayza was the absolute best even with just two of us. We learned so much and had so much fun because Hayza knew where to go and who to talk to. This was awesome!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! 🍹 We're delighted Hayza made your evening such a memorable one. Even with a small group, she loves creating a fun and authentic nightlife experience while introducing guests to Rio's local bar scene. We truly appreciate your recommendation! Cheers!

Just do it!!!!!
It was an incredible evening. Hayza-our guide was amazing. She was a professional chef so had so much insight into the food and drink and how it is associated with the culture of Brazil. Great communication with locations and directions to our meeting point. From there we had great food and drinks all with explanations of how they relate to Brazil and it’s culture . The walk from the various locations was very easy with information offered on the way in a casual way not a stuffy tourist guide. There was lots of talking and laughing. It was as if we had known her for years and just going out with a friend. She was always making sure we were doing great and safe throughout the experience up to the point of verifying our Uber driver’s name and we were on ur way….. This was our first tour in Rio and it was a great way to start. Thank you for a great evening.
Response from the operator: Love the energy in this review, and thanks for noting the clear directions and relaxed, local vibe, we train guides to be friendly, informative, and safety-conscious, Uber-check and all. Walking, tasting, and laughing with a guide who feels like a friend is exactly the point. 🍸 Cheers, Maira from Cook in Fiesta

I met at suru. Hatza found me and did a good job explaining things to me . I will recommend this tour again.
I had a good time. Very knowledgeable tour guide. I enjoyed this tour. I will visit Brazil again and recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: It’s great to hear you had a fun and informative time on the tour! Hayza works hard to make each stop enjoyable while sharing her local knowledge, and we’re glad you appreciated it. We’d love to have you back for more tastings in Brazil! 🍸 Cheers, Maira from Cook in Fiesta

Rio Pub Crawl with Caipirinhas & Bar Bites: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Rio Pub Crawl with Caipirinhas & Bar Bites cost?
+
Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rio de Janeiro usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Rio Pub Crawl with Caipirinhas & Bar Bites take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rio de Janeiro is not rushed.
Is Rio Pub Crawl with Caipirinhas & Bar Bites worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rio de Janeiro, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rio Pub Crawl with Caipirinhas & Bar Bites?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Rio Pub Crawl with Caipirinhas & Bar Bites suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rio Pub Crawl with Caipirinhas & Bar Bites?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rio de Janeiro can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rio de Janeiro and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rio Pub Crawl with Caipirinhas & Bar Bites start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rio de Janeiro within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rio de Janeiro?
+
On Outty we rank every Rio de Janeiro experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pedra da Gávea hike, your best experience in Rio, Favela Tour Rio de Janeiro - Vidigal Walking Tour by Russo Guide, Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rio de Janeiro?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rio de Janeiro?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
