The reason I don't like to go to All Black is that the guys there simply ASSUME that you (as a female, but maybe males too, I dunno) are there to turn yourself over to them... They come on too hard... I think it has got to be a puta's bar, because the guys are just too cocky.

I've gone there with girl friends (aged 20 something) and with boyfriend.... boyfriend goes to the lounge or something and immediately guys step up... boyfriend gets p*ssed off at lack of respect... etc

Oh as long as its not a hookers bar than thats okay!

They are a bit dodgy!

I just wanna go somewhere where they have sports on, good drinks, hot girls easy convo and no hassle!

I think I will try it out tommorow for the Chelsea match but may pop down to see the man u liverpool match today.

Are there any other good places?

Where do all the hot model chicks hang out (or the stewardesses!)

I know all the airlines stay at the Renaissance so they must party somewhere.

In Grazie a Dio they had the Corinthians/Mexico match on the other day, on projector screen, while playing live music. I don't remember any bar though that has English football matches, but I guess it's possible. Not being a football fan it's not something I've sought out, and I'm surprised more folks here haven't spotted it (although a large proportion are from the USA).

Bars in Jardins will no doubt have the rich and pretty set, in the main, if that's what you're after. Failing that head out to Itaim and around there.

The football matches are always on at O'Malley's pub, which is on the corner of Rua da Consolação and Alameda Itu.

Everything there is good from the draft to the food. There are about five different areas to hang out in, one of them with good live rock bands. I think the cover charge is 15 reais.

Rupert, from where you are, walk downhill and take a left on Rua Estados Unidos. One block before hitting Rua Augusta, on your right, you will find a kind of padaria that caters to the upper class and where you can get a great brunch at any time. Their wine prices are pretty good, too. It's also an after-hours place, where you people gain their bearings after a night of clubbing.

Near you there's also Bella Paulista (I think it's on Haddock Lobo, towards Centro, about 2 blocks from Paulista). A bit crowded, big sandwiches. It's different from Santo Grão, it's more like a nice padaria...

For good patissere, there's Patisserrie Douce France (Al. Jaú, 554) but working hours are restricted.

Going back to the original topic, can anyone recommend any other bars in Jardins, ideally a bit closer to Av. Paulista? There's gotta be more than All Black...
