Drinks & Nightlife
Maria Caxuxa is a bar that quickly turned into a meeting point. Visited by showbiz figures and meant to provide a cozy atmosphere for a drink after work, the music is mostly Detroit soul and 70s funk. In summertime people mostly gather outside, but whatever the season the crowd is always welcoming and the vibe relaxed.
