São Paulo is an ever-growing city where new
and charming bars and restaurants are popping up all the time. In view of this, in recent months, a trend has become popular on social media to
search for a bar or restaurant in the city to call your own . The list of attributes to choose the first place varies, of course, from person to person, but we know that for architecture fans, a
good ambiance and a
dose of history can contribute (a lot!) to the selection. That's why we've selected 5 bars and restaurants in São Paulo located in
historic mansions that combine architecture and gastronomy in an
unforgettable experience . Check it out!
Droshopyla Bar
Unlike anything you've ever seen,
Droshopyla Bar stands out for its
maximalist , collector's style decor . Here, you'll find all kinds of vintage furniture, various arts, travel items, miniatures and many other items that are impossible to absorb completely in just one visit.
Housed in a
1920s mansion, the
cottage-style building is charming in itself, with hand-painted wallpaper, restored floors and original chandeliers that are a
true journey back in time . On the first floor, guests will find the first bar area – where you can see an unmissable photo of the
band U2 when they were there on their last visit to Brazil – which later in the evening gives way to a dance floor; on the second floor there is a
speakeasy bar , a restaurant area, a balcony with a view of the city and even a
distillery , where the house's artisanal gin is produced – a tasting of which is a must!

Opening hours: Tuesday to Wednesday, 6pm to midnight; Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 6pm to 1am.
