Set smack in the middle of Sao Paulo's historical center business district and with a second-floor view of a bustling plaza, suits from the area crowd the boho Salve Jorge to talk shop during lunch time but then let it all hang loose when after-work happy hour hits. Drink the bar's famously ice-cold beer maintained at 3 degrees Celsius and partake in the house's specialty chicken dishes among the ancient empty beer bottles hanging from the ceiling and photos and caricatures on the walls, which pay homage to Jorges all over Brazil. Count your lucky stars if your parents christened you by this name: you'll get 5% to 10% taken off your bill depending on the day.
