Friday Night in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil |

|
CLUBBING: Clandestino | |  | Clandestino is an European style underground club: dark, dungeony and with a basement with a compact dance floor. What´s cool is that every Friday is Black Friday, which is when Brazilians and foreigners get down to hip-hop, brazilian funk and all other types of “black music”. Given most travellers have been confused about how to enjoy brazilian music, here you see them really enjoy and dance to music they know. A great place to meet a Brazilian or foreigner. International beers and mixed drinks. Ages: 22 to 32 on friday Approach index: 5 Get there at: 11 pm Dress funky Rua Barata Ribeiro 111, Copacabana Also good on Saturday | | |

they filmed the Hulk 2. Ages: 28 to 50 Approach index: 4
