Bar Madrid

At Bar Madrid, you can sip on a beer while soaking up wisdom from one of Rio’s cultural heavyweights, Luiz Antonio Simas. These intimate, themed lectures don’t follow a set schedule, so keep an eye on the bar’s social media (@barmadrid) to snag a seat. Simas’ talks are as engaging as they are informative, with plenty of room for questions and conversation. Pro tip: grab one of their signature cocktails before sitting down for a chat with the man himself.
