Empório – Ipanema – Bar – Street Point - Free

Another alternative rock bar in Rio. Very good for after parties, cause it stays open till late at night, about 5h. Afterwards, everyone goes to the kiosks, by the beach, which is near by. And best thing about it, it's for free! It works every day, but the best days vary a lot. Last time I check, it was on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Good idea to get there late, about 00h - 1h. Good option on a Sunday, since there aren't as many places till late as this one.

 

You can get traditional Brazilian drinks inside, or with the street sellers near by. People normally stay right at the street, where you can chat and get to know all kinds of people, or you can go inside to dance a bit after the bunch of drinks you've got.

 

I gotta warn you. Most of the days, there will be more then 50% men. You gotta go in the right day for that not to happen, that is, if you are a guy. Never the less, you'll still have fun, with all the interesting characters you'll meet.
