3 Best Bars in Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais

Chopp Real is a laid-back bar in a beautiful period house with dozens of tables inside and outside. There is live music in the outdoors area on Wednesday. Grab a table by the sidewalk and order a porção (sharing platter) and sample some of the local beers such as Backer and Ouropretana.

This stone-walled, candlelit bar in a basement of a historic house is a great choice for informal drinks and sharing platters, as well as simple regional meals such as barbecued pork ribs. O Porão also boasts an impressive list of local beers and makes a mean caipirinha (cachaça rum with lime and sugar) cocktail.
