EatMeDrinkMeNYCApril 15, 2014You will feel like you are in an oasis on this closed-off block in the heart of downtown Rio. Come here to have a drink and experience some live music. Be cautious in surrounding areas at night.Upvoted Mar 23
ToryBurchJune 25, 2013This renovated warehouse-turned-bar is filled with antiques and always has great live music for samba dancing. It’s well-known and always packed, but still worth a stop during a night out in Lapa.Upvoted Apr 13
Andres DiazFebruary 27, 2013Excellent place. You should arrive before 22hrs to avoid the long wait to enter. Food is very good and the ambient is all you can expect from brazilian people. Must know all the floors and collections
@mrsoaroundworldJanuary 2, 2012Book table ahead on ground floor - limit is 8pm and do NOT be late as it will go. No tolerance. Great music. Locals of all ages go here and dancing is incredible. Music v good and so is service- Marion DMarch 21, 2013Get a caipirinha with cachaca at the bar and then try the different floors: samba at floor 1, modern music at floor 2 (most crowded), and blues/jazz at floor 3.
Yasaman ZahiriSeptember 15, 2016Brazilian music, brazilian dance, great singers, great drinks and food, a very nice place to splend the night! We loved it.
Alessandro RodriguesOctober 12, 2012One of the top 10 clubs in the world according to The Guardian. The decor consists of elements of Brazilian culture and it is impossible to know it all in just one visit.
Travel + LeisureJanuary 7, 2014Amid a scenic clutter of esoteric objects and art, the former antiques gallery turned landmark rocks out every night to five-act musical extravaganzas.
Jimena LozanoAugust 27, 2017Disco hidden in the second floor! Pastel de queso: delicious!! Great place for tourists... family...singles...everyone!
Francisca Nunes de AlmeidaFebruary 11, 2017Perfect place to listen to some Samba and have a drink! Entrance 45$ on Fridays, 50$ on Saturdays! Great atmosphere!- Marion DMarch 21, 2013The entrance ticket is 20 BRL on weekdays and 40 BRL (about $20) on Saturday night. You'll pay your drinks and entrance fee when you leave. Don't loose the paper sheet they give you when you check in.
Antoine MoreauAugust 12, 2017Giant place with various ambiances from Brazilian to more electro stuff! Fun and loud crowd, and beautiful setting!
Chelche M.October 1, 2017Caipirinha is good, a traditional drink and music it's fun too!! 12:00 start the party 🎉
Gary Dale CearleyApril 30, 2010I have only been here late at night but it is a marvelous venue. Great for groups of people but I would go even if flying solo. They have the music you'd expect in Brazil as well. Niiiice...! Read more
Fernanda RodriguezJanuary 16, 2014This place reminds of the streets in New Orleans! Extremely nice staff and you must taste the pastel
Laurent BroeringDecember 1, 2015Authentic samba club with people willing to enjoy the music dancing all night long
Genilson SilvaJuly 19, 2013Que lugar maneiro! Vou voltar sempre que puder! What a wonderful place! Will come back as often as I can!
National Geographic Traveller (UK)October 3, 2014A shambolic, multi-floored, antique-strewn dancehall with shamelessly bad service but a giddy and unique samba-fuelled atmosphere. Read more
Patrick HerronApril 2, 2010Get there by 20:30 on a busy night and you can get a table for dinner and be finished in time for the live music and dancing to start.
Frank DenbowJuly 6, 2014If you are into Webster hall or Pacha you will like this place. Also we can't be friends
- Yana IvanovaJuly 8, 2012Amazing place! U can chill out listening live music or u can dance and party hard!!
Diego Costa TumitanNovember 3, 2012Best tourist-related spot in Rio! Enjoy the drinks, and have fun :)
Adrian BanicaOctober 16, 2011Great place but be prepared to be immersed in Brazilian music... not too expensive either by Rio standards
Trina BatesOctober 27, 2013Order one caipirinha, grow hair on your chest. That's a strong drink! Irwin style!!
Maurizio BellaSeptember 11, 2016Seems to be a cool place to be but try to keep away from having some dinner. One of worst dinner ever had in Rio.

MelissaMarch 19, 2010Get there around 10 to avoid the really long line. Check out all the floors and the back room.

"The caipinhas were excellent and very varied and service very attentive. Live music started around 9pm with a soft bossa nova singer and then with a more upbeat brazilian rock group."
