Hot Pre-Carnival Nights in Centro and at the Aeroclube

By , About.com Guide

Feb.5, 2011.

Bar Brahma, one of São Paulo's most traditional bars, excels in pre-Carnival celebrations. Esquentas, or pre-Carnival parties, are held both at the original location on the corner of Ipiranga and São João, in Centro (opened in 1948) and at the branch (opened in 2009) at Aeroclube de São Paulo, Campo de Marte.

Though as of this writing there is no word about a Carnival ball, the bar also has a suite at Anhembi, where São Paulo Carnival parades will be held on March 4 and 5, 2011.
