When the last bloc fades, Rio locals trade the crowd for a corner table — lighter drinks, longer conversations, and no rush at Brewteco.
The bar as a place to reconnect
Ressaca Day — literally “Hangover Day” — falls on February 28 and marks the quiet pause between Carnival’s peak energy and everyday life resuming. In Rio de Janeiro, that pause has a natural home: the neighborhood boteco, a casual bar that functions as living room, refuge, and social hub all at once.
At Brewteco, that shift in mood is felt at every table. Guests linger longer, opt for lighter menu choices, and lean into conversation rather than spectacle. The house adapts seamlessly to the slower tempo.
Light drinks for a gentle recovery
For those who want to toast without overdoing it, Brewteco offers a lineup of non-alcoholic options designed for the post-Carnival mood. The Tropical (R$ 22) blends passion fruit pulp, cashew juice, sour mix, and ginger foam — a lightly citrusy combination ideal for rehydrating after days of street parties.
The Fresh (R$ 20) pairs watermelon soda with Sicilian lemon and mint, delivering just the right freshness for anyone craving something aromatic and easy to drink. Beer lovers aren’t left out either — the Estrella Galicia 0,0 keeps the ritual of the cold pint alive in a more mindful version.
“The post-Carnival is almost as symbolic as the festival itself. People still want to be together, just in a calmer way. The bar becomes that comfort space — where Rio locals recognize themselves, recover, and move forward.” — Rafael Farrá, co-founder of Brewteco
Between the party and everyday life
Without losing the informality that defines the brand, Brewteco‘s locations welcome guests who want to extend Carnival at a different pace — less noise, more conversation, classic bar snacks. Exhaustion, in true carioca fashion, becomes an excuse to gather.
Ressaca Day is no longer just about overindulgence. It has come to represent something deeply local: the instinct to turn even tiredness into togetherness, and the corner bar into a bridge between celebration and daily life.
