Great music, good vibe, but really too small. if it was just bigger it  would be so much better. there is just no room to dance. this applies to a lot of clubs in general in Brazil in my opinion.

Do not go there!!!! Especially as a foreigner. THEY WILL ROB YOU. I pay R$150 for 6 beers that cost R$18 each I had no problem with this then they gave me another card because that was at its limit. I bought water for a drunk girl in front of the security, asking for Heineken they did not have so I collected corona. When I went to pay I had two Heineken on the card.  And again like I saw in a previous review the security supported the liar.

They give you a card to pay for drinks, then basically they can charge you whatever they want on your way out. The cashier screw us over and the secutity was there to back her up. Somebody tried to take my phone next to the bar too. Don't go here, watch out in Lapa.
