Fun and entertainment - Rio De Janeiro - Brésil in 2025

Practical information : Going out Rio De Janeiro

Timetable

Brazil has a reputation for being a party country. And this reputation is far from usurped. In Lapa or Flamengo, in Rio, in Savassi or Belo Horizonte, the party is in full swing at the heart of the night. The notion of nightclubs or clubs is a rather broad and variable concept, and it's sometimes difficult to differentiate between music bars and nightclubs. In all of these places, bands perform with spectators who dance and sing along. Nightclubs and music bars often open at 8pm and close on Mondays. On weekends, they stay open until very late. All musical genres (sertaneja, MPB, electro) and moods (alternative, rock, LGBT...) can be found. Billiard halls, cinemas and other cultural and entertainment venues exist but are less popular than in France, except in the big cities for the last two, such as Circo Voador in Rio, for example.

Budget & Tips

Entrance fees rarely exceed R$60 or R$100 (except for very select clubs). Credit cards are accepted in most establishments.

To be booked

As club capacity is limited, we strongly advise you to make reservations for special evenings with well-known singers, bands or DJs.

Night transport

The metros in the various cities generally start operating at 4.30 or 5 a.m. and stop around midnight or 0.30 a.m. Remember, nights are not very safe in Brazil, and public transport is frankly not recommended. The night owl's best friend is the cab. You can either take the cab waiting near your establishment, or the one you've arranged to be called. Night fares are a little higher, but that's the price you pay for a safe return.

Age restrictions

Brazilian law prohibits minors from frequenting establishments selling alcohol. The legal age of majority is 18, as in France.

Smokers

Smoking is prohibited in enclosed establishments open to the public. As in France, you'll have to smoke outside.
