Bosque Bar

Nestled at Av. Bartolomeu Mitre 1314 in the leafy Gávea district of Rio de Janeiro, Bosque Bar is less a standard bar and more a hybrid of outdoor lounge, nightclub and party terrace. From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the setting stands out: many parts of the venue feel open-air or semi-outdoor, with lush vegetation or natural touches around the terrace and bar area. According to the tourism board, the bar offers “a stunning view of Christ the Redeemer” in a “space full of the wonders and charms of Rio’s nature.” The crowd tends to skew younger, energetic and party-oriented. Several reviews describe Bosque Bar as “a vibe – the crowd was enjoying the music … very thick crowd” where the night is built around dancing, socialising and late-night drinking. Music programming varies by night but often leans into DJ sets, live music and samba-inflected rhythms. In terms of drinks and food, you’ll find a usual mix of cocktails (signature and classic), beers and spirits, alongside bar snacks like sandwiches, fries, hot dogs and lighter fare. The website mentions “more than 40 drinks … kebabs, pastries, fries, sandwiches and hot dogs” as part of the kitchen offering. Nestled at Av.
