Happy Hour? 
November 18, 2007
I went to Guanabara last Friday night as one of the crowd had recommended the cocktails - and of course the "Happy Hour". I'd heard of this place but had never been before so I was quite keen to see what all the fuss was about. When I got to the entrance I was quite disappointed and unsure where to go as it looked like the entrance to a snack bar. Once I had navigated three escalators I eventually entered what I can only describe as an amazing space, it looked like a theatre (which it used to be) and it seemed as though we had arrived at the dress circle....in time for happy hour.
There were a few of us and some people ordered cocktails and others beer. On the whole the drinks were good and cheap (£3 for a cocktail or beer, during happy hour) although nothing to write home about.
I had overcome my initial disappointment at the entrance but that was to reappear as soon as I paid a visit to the toilets - they looked as though they were the same as when this place was a theatre, and seemed no to have been cleaned since then either!
I would only recommend that you go here for the cheap drinks and to check out the old building but stay any longer and risk using the toilets at your own peril.
