Our Local Experts say:

Happy Hour is a tough category to nail down in Rio – at just about every hour, people in Rio are happy. What we tried to do here is note the nightlife (bars and restaurants) venues that regularly promote 'Happy Hour' specials.

Perhaps, the best setting to enjoy a traditional happy hour is Rio's downtown Centro. As the business day ends, Cariocas and weary office workers will amble out on to cobble stone alleys where ancient buildings have been transformed into welcoming bars and cafes.

One of the favorites spots in Centro is the 18th-century arch known as Arco do Teles which is located in front of Paço Imperial (the original residence of the Portuguese royal family) and near the ferry station that departs for Niterói.

Cold drinks, appetizers and friendly banter make the eventual trip home a bit easier.
