Brazilian

Bar / Lounge

Part of Unordinary Hospitality

Cana is a Brazilian bar and restaurant in the heart of Washington D.C.’s Adams Morgan, brought to life by UnOrdinary Hospitality Group. Inspired by the botecos of Rio de Janeiro, Cana brings Brazil’s unique flavors, sounds, and design to life.

At Cana, our plates evoke the charm of Rio’s botecos, much like the hidden treasures Anthony Bourdain might have uncovered on his journeys.

Our cocktail menu highlights the essence of Brazil, featuring seasonal Caipirinhas with flavors like passion fruit or tangerine. For a playful twist, our “Not Caipirinha” creations explore bold Brazilian ingredients such as Amburana cachaça’s spiced warmth or tamarindo’s tangy sweetness, blending tradition with innovation.

The music at Cana transports you with curated 60s, 70s, and 80s vinyl records handpicked from Rio’s flea markets. Featuring legends like Tim Maia, Jorge Ben Jor, Marcos Valle, and Bezerra da Silva, along with modern sultry tracks from Seu Jorge, the playlist feels cinematic and timeless.

Cana’s design reflects the golden age of mid-century Brazilian aesthetics, inspired by the works of Oscar Niemeyer, Lina Bo Bardi, and Jorge Zalszupin. Warm amber lighting, Tauri oak panels, and hand-stenciled tiles from São Paulo come together to create an authentic homage to Brazil’s golden era.

At Cana, every cocktail, meal, and melody tells a story of Brazil’s vibrant spirit, bringing its golden moments to life in Washington, D.C.
