Brazilians say that God made the rest of the world in six days, and devoted the seventh to Rio. The jagged Sugarloaf rises from dark blue Guanabara Bay, with legendary beaches like Copacabana and Ipanema in the foreground, forested mountains behind. This great city has an enticing atmosphere of samba and fun, and its locals are as joyous as they are beautiful.
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).
