Bar Central

A cramped, tile-walled boteco on the edge of Recife Antigo with cold beer, a long list of regional cachaças, and an above-average bar menu of fried snacks. The clientele is mostly local — journalists, university staff, and a steady flow of people stopping in after work.

No reservations, no fuss, no live music. Good as a first stop before the Bom Jesus strip gets busy.
