Bar da Laje

Bar da Laje is a rooftop bar located on a building in the Vidigal neighborhood that opens onto views of the Atlantic Ocean, surrounding mountains, and Rio de Janeiro's skyline from its open terrace. The rooftop spreads across the hillside above the community below, showing the colorful buildings and daily life of the neighborhood.

The bar opened in 2014 and contributed to the renewal and development of the Vidigal neighborhood as a destination. This opening marked a shift in how the area was discovered and visited by people from other parts of the city.

The place is known for serving traditional Brazilian food and hosting live samba music on weekends that draws both locals and visitors together. The mix of people creates an open and social environment.

The place is open during the day and evening for food and drinks in a relaxed setting on the hillside. Getting there involves walking through the neighborhood, and a visit requires no special preparation or advance planning.

From the terrace, visitors can access trails that lead to the Dois Irmãos mountain peaks that rise above the neighborhood. This direct connection to hiking routes makes it a starting point for exploring the hillside.
