Facebook groups for expats in SP, surprisingly active.

yeah those groups actually post about recurring stuff too, like weekly pickups and language exchanges, not just one-off meetups

Joining a regular class is probably the easiest way, like Portuguese lessons or a capoeira group, since you see the same faces every week. I've heard good things about Sesc units too, they run cheap courses and clubs all over the city and it's a very local crowd. Meetup works for niche stuff but a lot of groups there fizzle out.

Agree on Sesc, but check the units in Pinheiros or Pompeia specifically, the peripheral ones fill up fast and the crowd skews older.

The menu has no separate gringo pricing, but you'll pay around R$18-25 for a chopp and R$60-90 for petiscos shared between two, so just watch the couvert charge.

couvert is per person usually so a table of four adds up fast, ask before they bring the bread

I haven't lived in Sao Paulo, only passed through, so treat this as secondhand. Bar Parnapiacaba sits in a slightly hidden spot and draws a mixed crowd, which keeps prices fairly normal rather than touristy. Expect roughly R$15 to R$20 for a long neck and R$50 to R$80 for a shared petisco plate. Paying by card is fine, and a 10 percent service charge often appears on the bill already.
