Rio - A Brazilian Night

  Close

Rio - A Brazilian Night

Known worldwide, Rio Scenarium owes its success to great live Brazilian music and one of the most unusual and attractive ambiences in Rio de Janeiro. The laidback bar and casa de shows attracts a mix of locals and foreigners. Rio Scenarium stands out among Rio de Janeiro bars, as it helped trigger a renovation trend in Lapa, a historic district with a strong musical and nightlife tradition dating back to the first half of the twentieth century. One of the amazing things about Rio Scenarium is how spacious it is. Four buildings were joined to create it. The two top floors overlook the dance floor and stage at ground level. Antiques are everywhere. There are collections of all kinds - clocks, scooters, radios, mannequins - lining every wall and corner. The bar serves full entrees as well as a great selection of “porções” (finger food platters).

The journey is done in two stages: firstly, to the top of Urca Hill, where visitors catch the second car to their final destination. From Sugar Loaf Mountain, the endless beaches of Rio de Janeiro and Niterói stretch to the horizon.
Santa Teresa: You can't miss a visit to this unique part of Rio. Sometimes described as the Brooklyn of Rio, Santa Teresa is one of those once grand, later marginalized, recently bohemianized neighborhoods. It is sprinkled with run-down colonial houses that you stumble upon and discover new worlds. Santa Teresa is a place where you can feel the atmosphere of art, music and history. Charming little restaurants, bistros and bars add a touch of both sophisticated and simple cullinery art options. At Santa Teresa you will find a touch of small town life, with small groceries and family businesses.
