lapa's first jazz club was previously a home to brazilian actor joão caetano and it was also the site to the 1884 murder of journalist and abolitionist apulcro de castro by a group of servicemen distraught by his public criticism of the then brazilian empire.

today, history continues to be made here in a more relaxed atmosphere, and can be witnessed while enjoying lunch or dinner to the sounds of live jazz, chorinho and samba-jazz.
