What makes the Soda Pop Bar stand out

Avenida Vieira de Carvalho runs from Praça da República to Largo do Arouche and is one of the historic gay streets in central São Paulo. The Soda Pop Bar is the best-known venue here. On warm evenings the crowd stands on the pavement with beer bottles, while inside music plays, often from the 80s.

There’s beer, caipirinhas, drinks and snacks, and the toilets are unisex. Guests recommend the original Antarctica beer.

Atmosphere and crowd

Soda Pop is the centre of the bear community, but chasers and everyone else are welcome. Guests describe the atmosphere as relaxed, cheerful and sociable, and many praise the staff and owners. On the pavement you quickly get talking to people.
