True Rio de Janeiro nightlife starts at midnight, and it’s well-known that Cariocas love to party well into the morning hours. The neighborhood of Lapa is full of small bars with live Brazilian music. But if you want more of a trendy spot in that neighborhood, head to Leviano for the wildest night you’ve ever seen in a colonial mansion—look out for special performances by acrobats. The hottest club in all of Rio is 00 (Zero Zero), where a sophisticated crowd pulses to different genres of dance music each night—only breaking for the award-winning cuisine in the dining room. For a more low-key experience, the Delirium Cafe offers Rio’s best beer selection, with brews from around the world. While the city’s nightlife offers many different takes on Brazil’s national drink, the caipirinha (including one with vodka instead of traditional cachaça), you’ll discover that one of the best bars in Brazil is known for a self-serve refrigerator of beer as their drinks menu: Bip Bip is all about the live music—samba on the weekends—and has the crowds to show it.
