    Lounge 69

    Posted by scott77amanda 1 September 2008

    Lounge 69 is a nightclub appreciated by those who like to listen a good music and see beautiful and young people.

    When I went there, they played electronic music. I'd recommend you ask for one of their good drinks and to wear comfortable sandals and clothes, because you will probably dance all night!

    00 is a very famous bar, nightclub and restaurant in Rio.

    I liked to go there because I ate great food and then danced with my friends all night! There are so many beautiful people there! Especially the girls.

    In my vacations I went to Casa Rosa in Laranjeiras and I love it. On Sundays they offer Feijoada and Samba. The food was delicious and the sound was terrific!

    Hideaway

    Posted by diegotrujillo 29 October 2007

    Hideaway is a pizzaria and lounge in Laranjeiras, Rio de Janeiro. The place successfully combines a nice thin and crispy pizza with a big and modern place, full of young and beautiful people.

    They also have shows (pop, Brazilian, jazz music) and a dance floor that mixes many styles of music. A complete night!

    Circo Voador

    Posted by particularalien 19 September 2005

    It's a live music venue in the centre of Rio. A great way to see local Brazilian bands such as Los Hermanos, and it's popular with young Cariocas, so you can mix with the locals.

    Platform Nightclub

    Posted by mihai 19 September 2005

    This is the official bossanova club in Rio. It is pretty touristy, but you can see some of the original voices and players of the Brazilian bossa wave which was headed by Antonio Carlos Jobim. Don't miss it if you are a fan. Also worth visiting is music shop Toca de Vinicius.

    It's central and features in most tourist guides.

    Rio Scenarium

    Posted by OliverandZoe 18 September 2005

    We had a terrific night at this converted colonial mansion. It's littered with antiques, trinkets and other remnants of Rio past, and hosts samba, choro and various fusion bands. The music was great but the atmosphere was made by the mixed crowd - young and old, locals and tourists - all of whom manage to strut their stuff in the relaxed environment.

    The original lyrics were written by Vinicius de Moraes in a restaurant/bar, past which the eponymous Ipanema-ista walked. Today, it's unpretentious and you can still sit by the pavement and watch the pedestrians. They serve a great steak + papas fritas and sell the best Rio souvenir - a T-Shirt bearing the opening bars of the famous song. By the way, the bar is on Vinicius de Moraes Street (in Ipanema). But when you fly in or out of Rio, you will pass through Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport. That's the guy who wrote the music.

    Estudantina Musical

    Posted by Glyn 15 September 2005

    A traditional "gafieira" where locals go to dance and hear great Brazilian popular music. Cheap and cheerful, with plain dusty floorboards, but the atmosphere is wonderful, especially at weekends, and the live bands are excellent. Sit back and watch expert dancers in their element, or take to the floor if you dare!

    Rio Scenarium

    Posted by AlexBellos 10 August 2005

    Situated in a large 19th-century building and decorated with Brazilian exotica – as well as a bar and concert venue, it is the main props house for the local film and theatre industry – this is where you come to soak up Rio’s bohemian past. In the evenings - from Tuesday to Saturday – it is the best local showcase of traditional music, such as samba, forró and chorinho.
