About this activity

Have fun combining Rio's bustling nightlife with incredible sceneries.

Have a drink and get amazing views by visiting a bar on top of a tall building that allows you to see the Rio skyline from afar, including boats in the bay, Sugarloaf Mountain, Christ the Redeemer and a few surprises.

And then head to the effervescent bohemian neighborhood of Lapa, which is the busiest area of the city every day. Enjoy funky and quirky bars and culture at the epicenter of samba, arguably the best area to dance, drink and mingle with party lovers and experience the best that Rio's bars and clubs have to offer.

The first hall receives popular samba shows from Tuesday to Saturday. On the other hand, the outdoor area is aimed at those who want to snack, drink and chat without disturbing or being disturbed. The draft beer and the beers go very well with the "tapioca dices" or "moqueca" snacks.
Bar Carioca da Gema

10 min Admission not included

"Carioca da Gema Bar" - Lapa Neighborhood / Daily

Why wait until the weekend? At the Carioca da Gema club in Lapa, there is a party every night. There, bands play samba for a small audience, but very lively. The exposed brick walls and the small stage give a cozy feeling.

Clube dos Democraticos

"Clube dos Democráticos" is a perfect home for those who love to dance close together and show their steps around the room. No matter how many times you go back there, it will look like it stopped in time. The immense dance hall makes the visitor to travel to the beginning of the 19th century. Some may even say that the place could be renovated, but many think that this is really its charm. For the less experienced, it is worth sitting and watching the most keen couples in the dance. But don't be surprised if someone invites you to an improvised dance.
