2 late-night dives in São Paulo our editors have drunk at, sorted by score. All São Paulo nightlife.

Bar do Luiz Fernandes ★ 4.0

$Santana

Bar do Luiz Fernandes has run as a family boteco in Santana, Sao Paulo, since 1970, Luiz behind the bar and Dona Idalina still making the appetizers.

TipDona Idalina's bolinhos, bacalhau and beef, and the pastéis are the house signatures; some 40 petiscos sit on the counter.

Riviera Bar ★ 4.1

$$Bela Vista

Riviera Bar has poured drinks on Avenida Paulista around the clock since 1949, once a meeting point for artists resisting the military dictatorship.

TipThe bar never closes, so it is a real option for a 3am plate after everything else on Avenida Paulista has shut.
