Favela Chic

Time Out are featuring some interesting venues for watching games - most of which we have ( well they have been all over our site, as have the BBC).
But given how popular all the Brazilian venues are, its good to know that Shoreditch favourite Favela Chic is into the football
They;re showing most games ( with an after party following the England game today featuring the best DJ for Brazilian jazz - Joe Davies) but for the Brazilian games it will be a bit special.

• Favela Chic  91-93 Great Eastern Street, London EC2A 3HZ   02076135228

House Full

The streets outside both Guanabara and Cargo were full of Brazil shirts but both venues closed their doors early. Book early for the next games.

Book early

StattoStatto works! - as well as high traffic to the site ( partly because we're coming up very high on Google) we're seeing lots of venues we've featured sell out.
Cargo is one place that has sold all its tickets for tonights Brazil game - and talking to the people at Guanabara they're expected the place to be mobbed tonight - so get there early.
btw Cargo are showing the other Brazil games.

OnanOn

This quite corporate slightly soulless bar on Piccadily is going to be transformed into a little bit of Rio, as the Brazilian community take over to celebrate their games. Its a big space.

Everybody Salsa

We're told that Bar Salsa will be showing all the games featuring Latin American teams. We'll add more detail as we get it.

Guanabara

Guanabara, the best Brazilian bar in London, is showing all the World Cup games, with lots going on -especially when Brazil play - including a great Batucada band.

Other events include a promotion with EA games playing FIFA 2006 on the 12th

Mine's a Caipirinha.

Samba rhythmns

A must attend for the Big Picture posse is the Cargo showing of the Brazil vs Croatia game on June 13.

As well as the football ("on the biggest screens in Shoreditch")they have a Brazilian BBQ and music from the Don of Brazilian jazz, Gilles Peterson as well as Instituto from Sao Paulo playing live.

The event is to celebrate the launch of Mr P's new compilation - Back to Brazil. And as its being sponsored by Bhrama, there should be a lot of good beer around too.

Tickets can be bought online here. See you there.

Kilburn - the Rio of London?

Kilburn has a sizeable Latin American community and one of their favourite local hang outs is the Barraco Café

Not too big with tiled walls, ceiling fans, and a neighbourly feel, the Barraco Café is a place where you can feel instantly at ease, relax with a glass of beer, and have a bate-papo (chat), perhaps to the sound of a television rattling out a soccer game.

They serve both basic cerveja (bottled beer) and chopp - draft beer. They usually have a football game on (unless it's Bossa Nova or Samba night) so we're sure they'll be showing all the Brazilian games. But get there early.
