Buxixo – Nightlife – Hangout Spot - Tijuca

This is also a place where you could call a hangout spot. It’s located in Tijuca, a traditional neighborhood in Rio, but closer to the suburbs. There are many bars next to one another, on this square where it´s located, which is called Praça Varnhagen.

It’s packed almost every day, and you can hangout in the square for free and get some drinks in the bars. But my tip is to go on a Sunday and get into the main place, which is called Buxixo (there´s the bar and there´s the nightclub – I mean the nightclub). There´s a low admission fee, but there will be a live show of a popular Brazilian rhythm that goes by “pagode”.

Be sure to get hammered and you’ll have lots of fun with all kinds of people, till 4h in the morning. Afterwards, you can get some street food close by this place (see map) before heading home.
