Itahy

Cold draft beer, football on the screen, snacks on the table.

In a neighborhood full of upscale restaurants and wine bars, Itahy plays a different game entirely. It's a classic Brazilian choperia — a beer-hall chain with a loyal local following — where the point is cold, well-poured draft beer, plasma screens tuned to football, and plates of petiscos to keep you going. Open from 9am until 3am every single day, it's the kind of all-hours neighborhood anchor that Rio does better than anywhere. The pizzas and bar snacks are honest, unfussy fare. Don't come for a culinary adventure — come for the atmosphere and the ice-cold chopp in one of Rio's priciest zip codes.
