Beco das Garrafas is a historic alley located between numbers 21 and 37 on Rua Duvivier in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro. In the 1950s and 1960s, it became a cradle of Bossa Nova, hosting renowned venues like Little Club, Bacarat, and Bottle’s Bar. These intimate clubs were instrumental in launching the careers of legendary Brazilian artists such as Elis Regina, Jorge Ben, and Wilson Simonal.

The alley earned its name, which translates to “Bottles’ Alley,” due to residents allegedly throwing bottles to protest the noise from the bustling nightlife. Over time, Beco das Garrafas experienced periods of decline but has undergone revitalization efforts to preserve its cultural significance. Today, it stands as a symbol of Rio’s rich musical heritage and continues to attract visitors seeking to experience its storied past.
