What People Say
Most Liked
Locals rave about Buteco’s extensive drink selection, particularly noting the cocktails and craft beers that complement the vibrant atmosphere. The caipirinha, a traditional Brazilian cocktail, receives special mentions for being perfectly made, refreshing, and potent. Many enjoy the live music, which often features artists flown in from Brazil, creating an authentic experience that transports guests straight to South America.
Diners appreciate the food portion sizes, often commenting on the big, satisfying meals that leave them feeling full and happy. The ambience draws on cozy, trendy elements, making it ideal for both date nights and group gatherings. Customers also appreciate the efficient service, with many highlighting how quick the staff is, even during peak hours.
Most Disliked
Some patrons mention the Friday and Saturday nights can get overwhelmingly crowded, particularly during peak hours at 11 PM. This often leads to longer wait times for both tables and orders, which can deter dining during these times. Others hope for additional seating as the popularity of Buteco means that it can reach full capacity swiftly.
A few reviews consist of minor complaints about noise levels during live performances, especially if dining inside the main area. While many enjoy the lively atmosphere, some guests prefer a quieter dining experience. Lastly, while the street parking is free, it can occasionally be tricky to find a spot during busy beach days, especially in peak summer months.

Fun bar with decent parking on the outside If you show up during the day they also offer a good selection of dishes that the chef picks out everyday Most of the music is Brazilian and they even fly in a couple of artists straight from Brazil In terms of crowd this place gets packed usually Friday or Saturday nights and it’s a equal mix of newer and older people Great place to visit during a night out by the beach in longbranch
