Ovelha Negra - Botafogo - Champagne Bar

If you're not into to drinking champagne, then don't come to this place. It's the only type of drink available. Only works on weekdays and the best days are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. A very good option on a Tuesday, with so few choices on this day. Get here early (about 19h) or you might not get in. It starts out early, so many people come directly from work, to enjoy a happy hour.
 
The place is small and you'll be squeezed in between tables. So meeting people and hooking up occurs naturally. The prices are reasonable too. Admission at about R$ 20,00 ($ 10.00) and the bottles go around R$ 50,00 ($ 25.00), the cheapest. But there's a selection of fine champagnes too, if that's the case. With prices like that, expect everybody to be hammered by the end of the night.
