I love this place. As a luso-African, Brazilian food is similar to the food I grew up with. The place is pretty small. We also sit at the bar. Both times we went, they just happen to have an amazing band (check their website for the event schedule). The first time it was a Haitian band. My partner is Haitian so we danced the night away. The second time, the band was Ethiopian Jazz band and they were incredible! The caipirinhas and old fashions are our go-to drinks. The old fashion is pretty small for an old fashion, but so well done, that we order it anyway! Caiparinha is always good! Vibes and people are so friendly. I'm a fan of this place and I'm always checking the event schedule now to see when I should go next for a drink, some appetizers and some live music. Great job Bossa! See you next time!!
I'd recommend this place to anyone looking to rent a party room for the evening. Beautiful artwork inside, the bartenders knew how to mix some amazing cocktails, and the ambiance was fun!
Came here for salsa night on Friday and had so much fun! Great space, drinks flowing, great vibes! No complaints whatsoever. Parking is difficult so would recommend Ubering.
Who knew! I love to dance! Any salsa spot will win me over. Came in February on a Saturday and danced my little heart out. $20 cover unless of course they pass you on in! (Wink) There are two levels, the upper level had a DJ and floors were scary to walk on, felt unbalanced. Bar on the upper level is as small as the bottom. Main floor had live music! Tons of salsa dancers in the house! Totally took me back to NYC days! Wepa! Ya tu sabe! Latinos in the house!
Solid place for food and drinks. Very cozy if you're going for a performance. We got rice croquettes, fried yucca, rice and black beans with egg, and Brazilian sausage. Most of the tapas were very good. The black beans and rice were okay-definitely can make this one at home. Drinks were very good! Definitely give it a shot.
Didn't try the food but will DEFINITELY be coming back for the experience. Had the tequila based drinks which were very good but it was truly all about the live salsa. Everyone was there to have fun. Bartenders are cool, they don't do itemized receipts FYI. Overall- amazing ambiance.
