Bukowski – Botafogo – Rock Party

Here's an alternative place to go. Rock music and a room with vinyl DJ! At reasonable admission fee - about R$ 35,00 ($18.00), it's a great choice if you wanna get away from the mainstream expensive stuff. It does't feel like a nightclub. As you go in, you'll get the impression that you're in a house party. And it really used to be a house. It's located in Botafogo, a traditional neighborhood with lots of bars and alternative people, mostly connected to creative area and journalism.
