STREET PARTY: Beco do Rato | |  | Real Brazilians having a real good time. Since it has no cover charge it becomes a street party. The samba musicians are often in Rio`s Alist. Dress down to fit in. Sing along and dance to Samba or try their “pastel de angu de carne”, a beef turn-over made of corn mash. Ages: 20 to 50 Approach index: 3 Get there at: 10pm Rua Joaquim Silva 11, Lapa Also good on Wed-Fri |
LIVE MUSIC: Rio Scenarium | |  | A live music saloon with three floors, a dance floor and a central balcony dispersing the music between them. It is beautifully decorated with antique items from 1910 to 1960, adding to its charmy ambiance. Lots of seating is available to those who arrive early. Apart from superb caipirinhas made from Magnifica cachaça, the joint also offers great finger food such as the “bijus”. A must for anyone staying in Rio. Ages: 20 to 60 Approach index: 3 Get there at: 9pm Dress up Rua do Lavradio 20, Lapa Also good on Tue thru Sat | | |

CHILLING: The Irish Pub | |  | What the hell is an Irish pub doing on a Brazilian tour route? Well, for one I live next door to it, so you may have a chance to kick my ass on any recommendations you disagree with. Gringos are great at making caipirinhas, so this is one place to test that theory. Ages: 23 to 40 Approach index: 2 Get there at: 9pm Dress casual Rua Jangadeiros 14a, Ipanema Also good on Fri & Sat |
