Nightlife in São Paulo
São Paulo is famed for its lively nightlife and countless bars. Traditionalists will want to relax with beers in quiet, historical bars like Bar Brahma in the centre, while party lovers might prefer the busy bars in Jardins and Pinheiros and all-night clubs in Vila Olímpia. Start the night with cachaça (cane liquor) at Cachaçaria Paulista, then head to dance club D-Edge. Most places close when the last customer leaves.
