Lonely Planet review

Easily one of the city's most charming spots to hear live samba, Trapiche Gamboa opened in 2004 in a multistory colonial edifice in Gamboa and has tile floors, a friendly mixed crowd, and decent appetizers. It's a casual affair, with samba musicians gathering around a table on the ground floor, and dancers spilling out in front of them. Grab a seat on one of the upper floors for prime viewing of the action below.

It's located north of Centro, and is best reached by taxi (around R$25 from the Zona Sul).
