Rio de Janeiro · Nightlife
If You Only Go to One Place
Rio Scenarium
If you only have one night, this is Rio in one building: a magical 19th-century mansion with seven rooms over three floors, customised drinks, Brazilian food and a Wednesday-to-Saturday programme running from samba de raiz through gafieira and chorinho to pop in the Annex Hall. Tonight is its big Saturday night — doors 8 pm, dance floors going until well past 2 am — and it is famously welcoming to first-timers who don’t speak Portuguese.
