Top 10 best Bars, Clubs in Rio De Janerio, Brazil

best Bars, Clubs in Rio De Janerio, Brazil

1) Barzinho

WHAT: Part of the continued gentrification of the once-unpolished Lapa district, a sleek São Paulo–style lounge and supper club. THE LOOK: The three-floor mansion is a spectacle of pop culture past—collages of 1950s singers hang on brick walls, while saint statues sit in front of the DJ decks. WHO GOES: A mix of artistically inclined thirtysomething locals and those escaping Lapa’s samba onslaught. THE SOUND TRACK: Big-name DJs relish the chance to spin traditional samba and forró alongside house, rock, and pop.

2) Miroir

Those privy to the Rio dance scene often complain about the lack of upscale options outside the usual tourist confines of the Londra and Bar du Copa. Located along the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, Miroir is a VIP dance club with international pedigree that attracts global and Brazilian DJs for prime weekend nights.

3) Boox

Crystal chandeliers and tufted-purple velvet on long rococo sofas are what first grab the eyes as you walk into Boox, one of Ipanema’s hottest social lounges and supper clubs.

Boox is divided into two rooms, including a first-floor dining room of concrete floors and pristine tables encircled in white slip-covered chairs and that big, bold purple sofa that that acts as a more comfy-banquette to the Starck Ghost chairs lined up on the other side of the tables.

4) Best for dancing

Leviano, Lapa

Opened in March 2011, Leviano arrived in Lapa with a somewhat smarter approach to late-night fun than its neighbours, underlining the dramatic shift in the neighbourhood’s fortunes (Lapa was granted official bairro status and independence from Centro in 2012).Under the creative control of award-winning mixologist Sandra Mendes, doiZ leads the way as Rio’s most adventurous drink-thinker, with a comprehensive list of classics and original creations at its disposal. The ‘Drinkz’ section gives a house twist to classics.

5) Bar do Copa

Through its own gilded entrance at Rio’s Copacabana Hotel, Bar de Copa is one of the most decadent nightclubs to open in the last few years. A neighborhood ablaze with kitschy bars and neon dance palaces, this hotel-based lounge is a sexy alterative to some of the clogged nightclubs of Copacabana’s interior if you can catch the right crowd on the right night.

6) Nuth – Rio

Located a solid 10-minute cab ride from Leblon, this “suburban” style lounge and nightclub located in Barra offers an upscale sanctuary for Rio-elite looking to avoid the tourist traps of Ipanema and Copacabana. A two-story thatch-roof nightclub and restaurant offers a spectacular outdoor lounge area with rattan loungers and cabana seating under a jungle-like garden of palm trees and moonlight.

7) Club 69

The nightclub already entered the list of clubs approved by the public and now has a captive audience. Hip Hop, Pop, Brazilian Funk are some of the musical styles that make the delirium of the public.

8) Baronneti

The club is one of the highlights of Rio when it comes to nightclubs. Its size is not impressive, but the goal is to be unique. The best songs are played there and the public young and beautiful are confirmed presence on weekends.

9) Bunker 94

Not everyone swoons to bossa nova or the upbeat sounds of samba andforró. At Bunker 94, Rio’s young and pierced move to the pounding sounds of techno, hip-hop, trance, and house as spun by three different DJs on three different dance floors.
