In November 2006 the Laranja Mecanica Bar opened its doors and since this time it has been a big succes. The Laranja Mecanica bar is run by Dutchman Willem-Jan (Guilerme). It is the biggest and busiest bar in Cumbuco, opens late afternoon and closes somewhere between 3.00 and 5.00 depending on how busy it is.

Next to Laranja Mecanica is the Brazilian run Bacana bar with an ambient feel and mostly house music, in high season they have a live Forro band on friday and a DJ on saturday.
