Named after the charmed street in downtown New York, the long and narrow space that is Bleeker St. pays homage to that legendary Big Apple entertainment…only Brazilianized.

Hence a drink menu spiked with regional standards like caipirinhas and beer. But the selection of New York cocktail is superb, reading like a best-of list: Manhattans, Bloody Marys, Cosmos and Dry Martinis. Bleeker St. also produces great acoustics, providing a swell space for the eclectic musical acts and DJs laying down anything from jazz to hip hop and a little bit of samba soul and MPB in between.

And what would a NYC-themed club be without comedy? Every Sunday night, the club hosts a set of comedians performing stand-up.
