Bar do Oswaldo - Barry

Here are our photos and what we think of the Bar of the Oswaldo, which is located on Road Joah, 3896 - Barra da Tijuca - Rio de Janeiro. It is in the conhecidoLargo Barry, right next to Good Subject , Canto Alegre and opposite the Shell Sweet . The phone there is (21) 2493-1840 and the site www.bardooswaldo.com.br .

It is no secret and we always say here how much we love and admire those who insist on traditional bars protracted and which retain their original features. And the Bar do Oswaldo is one. Opened 65 years ago exactly - ie in 1946 - by Mr. Oswaldo that betting on an area which is remote from Rio de Janeiro, sold his small fleet of trucks and bought the point where they have run the bar. Initially the proposal to serve meals, it stood out for his invention which was the exquisite "Coquinho the Oswaldo."

Simple, tasty and smooth, the famous hit was invented by adding to the cachaca coconut and enjoy a little left. Made for the girls, as Mr. Oswaldo said, it soon became super famous and not only won them as all that experienced. It was the beginning for the creation of several other flavors like the beats of passion fruit, peanuts, cocaxi, coffee cream, chocolate, cocujá, strawberry, uvinho, absolut with coconut and açai.

Well at the foot of the Gávea, the place has a unique atmosphere. Pleasant climate, traditional and familiar at the same time. He won famous for several decades (Chacrinha, Getulio Vargas, Mussum, Garrinhca, Romario etc.) And anonymous, like us.

The sound is democratic in the afternoon and part of a jukebox. Do not be surprised to hear great music chosen by bohemians, bikers and lovers of good old rock n 'roll. At night, the bar gives way to youth of all tribes and almost always have live sound, too.

And do not think the Bar do Oswaldo the only stars are the beats. The service is very good. We were met by friendly Francisco who left his homeland (northeast, the State can not remember) and there is plenty of time serving those same tables.

To complete the quality of the place, we supreendidos for wonderful food there. We ask a lot of wonderful codfish balls, a generous plate of steak with flour, and an excellent feijoada. For those who wanted to know only the hits, if you encounter filled with dishes and tasty was a great surprise!

Our only regret is that there is only served beer in tin. Well we could have at least as an option, as our beloved bottled beers ...

Oswaldo's Bar is the place that can only be known by someone who really likes bars and want to live a little of what was experienced by several historical figures and anonymous they did and still do, the beautiful story of this wonderful city called Rio de Janeiro, or as is known worldwide, the Marvelous City.

Our suggestion is to do as we did. Ask a beat of each and experiment until you find each one that you like better. Just do not expect the beats are strong, because, as Mr. Oswaldo himself said, "are made for girls" ...
