In case you want to make new friends or you’re travelling all by yourself, this is the place to go! The cool thing is that Clandestino is open until late hours. The crowd is young and friendly and each night has a different feel to it. I loved the nachos I ordered and they have a bunch of beer brands for you to pick and choose. The dancefloor was packed and I had such a wild night with the Brazilian guys I met and the Italian friend who was staying in my hostel.

My favorite sport is beer tasting! I’ve been to many places and one of my fondest rituals is trying out beers and keeping the labels. I’ve been to Brazil before, but this was the first time that I tried prime quality draft beer. A local newly-met friend took me to this bar called Devassa in Flamengo. They have a homemade brand of beer! It’s so tasty and rich! Plus the fact that they are really careful with their logo and design. I loved it. If you get the chance try all three of them! I loved the Indian one.

Club 69 is a breakthrough nightclub. The sound system and the lights there are a reference and ispiration for every other (good) nightclub in Brazil. Once you get in there you feel like you're not on earth. It’s, basically, a black box with lights on the walls and ceiling - red, green, yellow, purple, orange, blue. It’s surely a designer club! Plus the fact the the place is packed with b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l Brazilians. My recommendation is: swallow down a couple of shots, get a real fancy drink and cruise. The place is great for meeting locals!

A cozy wooden haven for the true beer enthusiasts! A Brazilian friend told me that the beer at Devassa was simply the best. Apparently they have their own home-made brand of beer (Blonde, Ale, Indian) I tasted them all, and could not put them aside. Devassa is located at the heart of Ipanema, close to other great spots for shopping or chilling. The place was packed with people living out the true carioca lifestyle. A place to have fun after going to the beach. Don't count with parking spots, you won't find it, but other than that, it's a great experience!

Lapa 40 Graus is a traditional samba house located right on samba’s birthplace, the Lapa neighborhood. Needless to say, it’s a must-try for everyone who wants to have a piece of the real samba experience. They have several dancefloors, with different bands playing, so even if you’re not into samba, you’ll definitely find something for you. I recommend it!

Clandestino Bar is this undeground club in Copacabana, right next to one of Rio’s most famous hostels, so there’s always a young crowd made of people from all around the world as well as Brazillians. It’s a great way of meeting new people. Since I went to Brazil all by myself, all my now close friends were also fellow travellers I met at Clandestino. They play different music every night (funk, soul, hip hop, pop, electro, etc.) so every night there’s a different crowd.

After days and days of clubbin’ with my friends in small, noisy and smoky (up to the point that it got me feeling – and smelling – like an ashtray at the end of the night) clubs, it was with great relief and joy that I stumbled upon Zero Zero, this sophisticated and trendy club in Gavea neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. They have this huge open-air lounge area with lots of couches and benches and there are candlelights all around, that add a sexy, romantic vibe to it. It’s great for those moments when you want to chill, take some time-out from partying and just want to chat and have a drink. The music is great too, and so is the crowd. Lots of good-looking people. I recommend it!

Don't miss a night in this lively bar. Rio Scenarium is a fabulous place for a night out in Rio where you can get a bite to eat, have some drinks and dance. It's a hit with the locals who seem to use it as a meeting place. Book if you want a table. Don't go too early, go after 10pm when the atmosphere is more lively.

My partner and I chose this hotel because of its location in Santa Teresa, the bohemian neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro. It's a lovely property with clean and well sized rooms, beautiful public spaces inside and out and a breathtaking view from our room and from the pool. The owners were happy to suggest places to eat and enjoy the Brazilian night life and gave us all the advice we needed for exploring the city. Highly recommended!!
A friend and I had an amazing time in this bar. Excellent music and full of young and beautiful people from all over the world. Rio de Janeiro is the best city ever – I loved it!

Devassa Ipanema is one of the best spots to chill out in Rio! They have their own chopp (lager, red and stout), great snacks and it is also in a good location in Ipanema, which means that you can go for a beer, meet people and later, just go walking through the club.
Acai is a frozen drink affair made from a dark berry fruit. Served with a tip-top topping of nuts, banana and honey, it's great to slurp in the sun on the corner streets of Copacabana.
One of the many juice bars in the Copacabana district of Rio
Devassa Ipanema has a great atmosphere, and the beers are great too. I tried all of them: Loira, Ruiva, Negra and Índia. They have a snack called escondidino - very tasty!

This is the best cachaça to drink in Rio de Janeiro! Caipirinha, the most traditional Brazilian drink, is made with cachaça.
I bought some take to the US and my friends loved it!

Boat Party is one of the best ways to have fun in Rio. They offer a tour with DJs, a barbecue and Caipirinhas on the boat!
I loved it - I was already having fun in Rio and after going to Boat Party I didn't want to do anything else.

It's weird to explain what Hard Rock is, because most people know the place (they are all over the world!)
The one in Rio is a great nightclub for those who love to dance crazy, with arms and legs wide open because it’s spacious there. I danced 'carioca' funk all night and it was pretty funny! Almost forgot to praise the drinks - very creative and tasty.

That's a cool bar and nightclub at Copacabana.
I loved Clandestino because I danced all night! And yes, I also drank a lot!

Like Germany, Brazil has really good draft beer, and it's hard to compare one with the other. The other day I went to a bar called Devassa in Jardim Botanico (Botanical Gardens) and this was very good beer. It's good enough to please even the pickiest German bud!
Avenida Lineu de Paula Machado, 696
Gotta love this place, really. The finger foods are pretty darn good and they've got sandwiches that'll fill you up until you say uncle; but forget all that for now. Let's focus on the beer. This is by far, without a shadow of doubt, the best beer I've ever had in my life.
I don't know what they put in it but even the foam tastes good! You can choose from four types of brewed beer (India, negra, loira, ruiva, which correspond to the following tastes: Indian, black, blond and red, the last one being my personal favourite). We went over to the Devassa branch in the Leblon neighborhood, nice place too. Just drop everything and head out there pronto.
Av. General San Martin, 1241
Brazil's answer to draft beer is what they call chopp, which is what I was enjoying until I went to this place called Devassa. I guess they have several of these pubs all over town. Anyway, the chopp down here overall is great, but I never had anything like Devassa before. They have four different types of brewed beers, and they're all worth checking out.
