There´s a kind o party very popular in Rio with Samba de Raiz, called “Roda de Samba” (Samba Gathering, roughly translating). On Sundays this place has this kind of party. And it´s very good too. It starts out very early and ends early too. So, if you go to this place, be sure to get there on time. You´ll get a chance to see up close a very traditional type of party in Rio, with lots of locals. Not everyone knows about this party. If you´re staying in Botafogo, better yet. You can come for a after beach event or to start out your party night on a Sunday.
Good service a low admission fee for the live band – around R$ 15,00 ($ 7.00). It´s not a very good place for hooking up, but you´ll definitely have fun with the live music and it´s easy to meet people here. They can even give you a scoop on anything good happening on the week to begin.
