The Blue Light is a dark and atmospheric hang-out, as popular with locals as with tourists, where you can sip a caipirinha or cranberry colada as you cast an eye over the vintage jazz posters, records, old photographs and decades worth of scratched graffiti that adorn the walls. The background jazz is recorded rather than live, and never overpowers your conversation.
