Went with two friends visiting from the US. We were not impressed, especially because of the weak drinks. Though the waiter was friendly, but when my friend paid the bill at the end with a large bill, which he took and said Thanks! and then never came back with the change. That was unfortunate because we left with the impression... More

This was my second visit to Meza Bar and I love this place. It is now my favorite bar in Rio. Awesome drinks, tasty food and nice ambience. Service could a bit better. The waitress took forever to come to our table, but it was minor problem compared to whole experience.

This is a great place to relax and have a few drinks and the food is also great! Not the best place in town to meet people but good looking people come here.

Imperdível pra quem curte ambiente tipo lounge, música boa, comidinhas de excelente qualidade (destaque para o risotto al funghi secchi) e drinks inovadores e originais. Atendimento bem acima da média. Tudo por um preço justo para os padrões cariocas. For who enjoys lounge bars, with good music, excellent quality meals (dont miss the risotto al finghi secchi), original and innovative... More

Nice atmosphere, modern good looking crowd, excellent music, excellent cocktails, great food and very good service. What's not to like? They recently received an award for best drinks menu and their food options in "green, orange and red bowls" are all very interesting and well prepared. Go for the 3 combo.

Becauseof the name bar, we were not sure whether they would alslo offer food. However their menu is extensive and excellent. You have a choice of differently priced "bowls", at 19 BRL, 21 BRL and 23 BRL depending on the color. Each color has a total of 8-10 different dishes to choose from, or alternatively, you can choose 1 dish... More

If you're looking for a place off Ipanema/Leblon, this is a good choice. Located in Botafogo, Meza Bar has a very interesting contemporary menu and good drinks. I would rather going there for dinner with friends than a night out, as I found the drinks to be a little bit pricey (but good) and also due to the structure of... More

Meza Bar is a place to have amazing drinks, eat very quality food, listen to good music and have a first class service! Two tips: ask for a caju's caipirinha and a "carne assada" sandwich! It's my favorite bar in the whole world!

Visited Meza Bar with a friend on a Wednesday night. Ordered some of the "potinhos" including a tuna tartar which was great but lacked a bit of acidity, a bowl of picadinho and a spicy chicken with mashed potatoes which was the best. Service was friendly but took a long time to get my capirinha, and then had to wait... More
