Portuguese term or phrase: petiscaria
I can't find any info on this term, maybe it's misspelled? Here goes the text:

"Lugar que une cerveja e chopp gelados com uma pesticaria especialmente desenvolvida para amantes da boa comida. Ambiente ao som de jazz e bossa nova."

Any thoughts?

neutral  Georgia Morg (X): I agree that petiscos are very similar to tapas but I think English speakers would think a tapas bar would be Spanish

pesticaria
snack bar


Explanation:
I'd agree that it's a Petiscaria, but Tapas Bar usually relates to Spanish (or Spanish-speaking) places. In this case I'd say it's a snack bar or, as it is usually advertised, a 'restaurant/snack bar'.

If you're looking for something with a little more alcohol then maybe a Pub or just a Bar.

agree  Georgia Morg (X): maybe " a bar where you can get a great range of snacks"? I agree that "snack bar" doesn't sound very alcoholic, as Mario pointed out

agree  suesimons: They also nowadays use tapas in Portugal.

  -> Just like they have Italian and Chinese restaurants. It's not a Portuguese thing while a Petiscaria is very Portuguese.

pesticaria
finger food


Explanation:
Petisco is "finger food"
Petiscaria é o bar que vende petiscos... Snack bar pode ser uma boa opção.

Sugestão no contexto enviado: it is a place that combines cold beers (draft and bottled) with delightful finger food...
