Copacabana’s new lighted space is inspired by the European-meets-rooftop beer garden in New York.
The bar is inspired by the famous New York nightclub where movies like Goodfellas, Raging Bull and One Night in Miami were filmed.
Singers like Frank Sinatra, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke played there, which is why there is a painting of Sinatra on one of the walls.

The bar and beer garden itself is chic and modern, with fairy lights above the tables and a cocktail list that rivals the best.
