If not, try Cine Iris or Fundi o Downtown. You saved the newspaper from yesterday, so you already know where to find updated info. If you are feeling a little more adventurous, take a taxi to Freedom in Barra, something like 25 minutes away from your hotel. The other suggestion is crossing the bridge, and checking out the night in Niter i - Rio's New Jersey. Niter i is less cosmopolitan than Rio, it has almost a small-town feeling to it.
Locals are very friendly.
The club to go to is named Volupia. Take some extra money for the taxi. These events happen in the suburbs, so you must go in a group, with confirmed transportation arrangements. Don't ask, just do it - works wonders, tastes great. A good place to have this crimson-colored Amazon delight is Baixo Leblon .
