Bar Garota de Ipanema, a good reason for the presence of Vinicius and Tom, By Marcio Ilescu
Inaugurated in 1949 with the name Bar Montenegro, the establishment was known by artists as Bar do Veloso, after the owner. In 1975, the bar was acquired by the current owners. Once, the owner was at the box and Tom Jobim received a call already in Garota de Ipanema. The owner called him and Tom answered and replied: I'm at Veloso.
That's why this name was registered and used in the bar Veloso do Leblon, owned by the same owners. Imagine how much history has already passed on these tables, the song Garota de Ipanema and many other compositions. After three major works, in 1978, 1998 and 2013, the bar has always been up-to-date, keeping photos of the illustrious regulars." - https://diariodorio.com/bar-garota-de-ipanema-uma-boa-razao -for-the-presence-of-vinicius-and-tom/#
"O Veloso, a bar two blocks from Ipanema beach, was one of the many "pesujos" frequented by the bossa nova crowd between the late 50's and the 60's in Rio de Janeiro. on the sidewalk, simple snacks and cold beer, it was a meeting point for Tom Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes - who, eternally in love with women, liked to observe the privileged movement of the place.
In 1962, on a special afternoon, the two saw the young Helô Pinto (later Pinheiro), 19 years old, going in to buy cigarettes, and they fell in love. Days later, Tom composed the music and Vinicius the lyrics, inspired by the girl - and in that very carioque atmosphere of Veloso. The song Garota de Ipanema premiered on the radio in 1962 and never came out again. Tom and Vinicius remained there, as did Leila Diniz, Ronaldo Bôscoli and the gang from the combative and sarcastic newspaper O Pasquim.
In 1966, Tom Jobim was drinking there when Frank Sinatra called (directly to the bar itself, where it was easier to find the Brazilian composer) to invite him to a joint recording. A year later, the Veloso bar adopted the name Garota de Ipanema, which it still bears today. And, even after many renovations and becoming an obligatory tourist spot, the bar continues to serve the two items that gave it glory in the past: a beer always on point and a privileged point to see the sweet swings on their way to the sea.

"Bar Veloso or currently Girl from Ipanema
Bar Veloso was one of the many establishments classified as “dirty feet”. It was two blocks from Ipanema beach. But it wasn't that classy, in fact its tables were almost on the sidewalk like a good self-respecting bar.
The menu was traditional for every good carioca. In other words, enjoy that cold chop or beer with those simple snacks to lighten the day feeling the sea breeze.
The difference was in cardholders. None other than Vinicius de Moraes and Tom Jobim. Gentlemen from Rio de Janeiro who didn't like to miss the opportunity to observe the movement in the neighborhood and fall in love with the women passing by at first sight.
In these moments of pleasure, they saw Helô Pinheiro pass by on his way to the beach at the height of his 17 years. The two were admiring her. Until he made a song to honor the girl who admired her beauty so much, consecrating her as the famous “Girl from Ipanema”. They just didn't imagine the repercussions it would have.
Vinicius already said: “For her, with all due respect and mute enchantment, the samba that put her in the headlines around the world and made our beloved Ipanema a magic word for foreign listeners. She was and is for us the paradigm of the carioca sprout; the golden girl, a mixture of flower and mermaid, full of light and grace but whose vision is also sad, as she carries with her, on her way to the sea, the feeling of passing youth, of beauty that is not just ours – it is a gift of life in its beautiful, melancholy ebb and flow.”
Being from Rio already involves a lot, but being from Ipanema has other weights. Bossa consecrates the neighborhood and hides its stories there. Imagine, leave the house and think about these stories present there. But the neighborhood had its representations beyond music." - https://tinyurl.com/3k26yxny
