Any good bar or lanchonete around the square for a cheap beer and a plate of something in the evening? Also is the area ok to walk at night or should I cab it back?

Bar do Mané, pastel de carne, before 8pm.

Agree on the pastel but the draught beer there is skunked half the time, walk two blocks to Avenida Brigadeiro for a lanchonete instead.

Skunky draught is a line-cleaning problem, so pick a spot with high turnover; the lanchonetes on Rua Direita pour fresher chopp in the early evening.

Pastel de queijo better imo, and cash only

Queijo is the safer bet if the fryer oil is old, which it often is late in the evening. Bring small notes too, because change gets scarce once the lunch crowd clears out.

old oil is why i stick to the coxinha over anything fried to order, less risk. the guys behind the counter usually have change if you buy a pao de queijo first, they hate breaking a 50 later.

Cash only, and the bolinho de bacalhau sells out early.

At a place like Bar Parnapiacaba, what's the going rate for a beer and a plate of food, and what do locals actually pay?

cover charge is the thing nobody warns u about, the couvert artistico. if there's live music they add like 15 to 30 reais per person to the bill, sometimes printed tiny at the bottom of the menu. tourists get surprised by that more than by any price difference. ask if couvert is included before u sit down, that's the real local move

worth adding that couvert sometimes only kicks in after a certain hour so ask when the music actually starts

menu is the right call but also watch the garcom pushing the prato do dia verbally at a higher number than whats printed. point at the menu when u order, works every time
