Casa do Amarelinho

Tiny corner bar with cold beer and live samba

Address Rua das Laranjeiras, Pelourinho

A small corner bar in the Pelourinho where the regulars spill into the street with bottles of cold Skol. Cheap, busy in the early evening, and often the source of an impromptu samba circle that gets going around 8pm.

Not a place to eat or to settle in for a long sit-down dinner — it is a stand-up neighbourhood bar that happens to be in the historic centre. Go before 10pm and treat it as a first stop.
