vinícius show bar is a popular bossa nova bar located just a stones throw away from where tom jobim and vinícius moraes wrote their famous bossa nova hit 'the girl from ipanema'.

if guests are after some great live bossa nova then they will definitely want to pay this place a visit.

vinícius hosts some of rio's best bossa nova groups, and the live music usually starts around 21.30.

the bar and stage is fairly small and there are not many tables but this gives the place a very intimate and welcoming feeling.

although it can get very busy and is usually frequented by a lot of tourists, most of the crowd are of the older generation as this is not really a party venue, but a place to come and listen and enjoy live bossa nova.
