In a city where Rua das Pedras is synonymous with nightlife and social gatherings, Anexo Búzios has earned its place as one of the most popular bars on the local scene. Blending a sophisticated bar with a relaxed lounge vibe, Anexo is the perfect place to start an evening in Búzios with well-crafted cocktails, great music and a vibrant atmosphere.
The Space
Anexo occupies a strategic spot on Rua das Pedras, with indoor tables and an outdoor area that spills onto the pavement of Búzios’s most famous street. The décor mixes rustic elements with contemporary touches — exposed brick, amber lighting and a well-stocked bar visible to all. The space holds around 80 guests between indoor and outdoor areas, creating a lively atmosphere without sacrificing comfort.
Cocktails and Drinks
Anexo’s strong suit is its signature cocktails, crafted by bartenders who combine premium spirits with fresh tropical ingredients. Regulars recommend the mixed berry caipirinha, the tropical spritz with passionfruit and the gin and tonic with lemongrass and cucumber as the house favourites. The craft beer menu is also well curated, featuring labels from Rio de Janeiro’s mountain region.
Happy Hour and Special Nights
From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., Anexo runs a happy hour with discounts on selected drinks — this is when the bar is at its busiest, packed with tourists and locals alike. On Thursdays and weekends, resident DJs take over the space and raise the energy with setlists that range from electronic bossa nova to modern house, drawing a young and eclectic crowd.
Who It’s For
Anexo is ideal for those who want a more sophisticated night out than a club, but a livelier atmosphere than a sit-down dinner. It is the perfect spot for drinks before heading to another venue, or for those who prefer to stay on Rua das Pedras soaking up the street’s energy. Entry is free and there is no minimum spend.
Getting There
Anexo is at number 392 on Rua das Pedras, about a 3-minute walk from Orla Bardot. Rua das Pedras is pedestrianised at night, making it easy to move between bars and restaurants. Ride-hailing apps work well in Búzios for getting to the street entrance.
