Boteco is a pub, a bar, a restaurant.

Boteco [bo'teku] is a term derived from the word "botica" (Portuguese from Portugal) which derives from the Greek "apotheke" which means storage, grocery store or where goods were sold.

Today Boteco means a lot. Boteco is a meeting place, a place where people go to enjoy some drinks, have some delicious food, to hang out,  "jogar papo fora" and feel as if they are in Brazil, but without spending the big bucks for the flight.
