Entertainment in Cuiabá

  1. Tom Choppin

    Outstanding brews and views are the draw for Cuiabá’s well-to-do at this cleverly named open-air MPB (Música Popular Brasileira) bar perched high above the city. Mondays get lively for choro, an informal, instrumental style of music. It’s halfway between centro and the zoo.

  2. Conde de Azambuja

    If pretensions aren’t your bag but drunk, dancing Brazilians are, then give this traditional bar in the old town a try. It’s not easy on the eye, but let the Skols flow and you may find yourself having more fun than you expected. Live music on Thursday to Sunday.

  3. Patriota

    A cool hangout during the day (and not just because of the air-con!) with a pleasant deck for people-watching after dark as you sip an ice-cold chope. Upmarket in everything but price, with a weekday happy hour (from 5pm to 9pm).

  4. Confrade

    A massive microbrewery that offers chope laced with caramel, mint and syrup in addition to the usual suspects. Stick to the standards. There’s live MPB every night of the week.

  5. Getúlio

    An upmarket bar-restaurant popular with young Cuiabános. There’s a respectable wine list, and DJs on the outdoor patio every night. On Saturday, the party moves upstairs for dancing.
