    Telly great place, danced all night!
    Fab food, great staff serving
    The staff when you first check in could act a bit more friendly, we were not asked to bring ID, luckily we had a photo of our passport page

    I am struggling with giving this place 4 stars because I really did not enjoy it. But I have to be honest that my main problem with the place was the type of music. Downstairs was 100% grunge. Upstairs was a DJ playing terrible music that I guess maybe could technically be called rock. But they do draw a crowd that seems to enjoy it.
    They tick most of the boxes on safety and service from my experience. Food was edible, bouncers seemed watchful but not aggressive. Waitresses were attentive and polite mostly. There is a minimum consumption per ticket, so make sure you distribute your orders evenly over both tickets if you are a couple.
    Make a reservation and arrive around 9 if you want a table and dont like standing in line to enter.
    I wouldn't call this a Rock Bar . . . unless maybe you refer to it as a Grunge Rock Bar.
    I would not go back, but only because I disliked the music so much.

    Stayed in Rio for 22 days and went out most nights and honestly feel as though I'm qualified enough to say this is by far the best night out Rio has to offer.

    The location is slightly far so you want to go with friends. Split the uber.

    Entry to this amazing club is only 20 rial.

    To go upper levels its an additional 20 but tbh there was a way better atmosphere at the bottom, more dancing, less pretentious people haha

    Drinks are unbelievably cheap here so a good night is ensured. 2 rial for a beer or vodka.

    The DJs play decent music too not just constant samba or funk.

    Highly recommended if in Rio and want the real Brazilian experience

    They don't tell you the correct prices for drinks until you are ready to pay at the end. they told me the drinks cost $35 each but they were $140 each.The girls order Drinks that are expensive even though there there is little to no alcohol in it. They then lock you in the venue until you pay the tab they con you in too or threaten to call the police on you. I would not recommend this place to any one as it is a tourist trap. I should have known something was wrong as there were only about 7 other customers in the venue.

    Nice place, not overly cheap but with nice music and good crowd, the only thing is that it's usually very packed, and that night be a bit uncomfortable, don't forget to take your ID otherwise you won't get in.

    Came here with some family and friends. There was a large stage area that you could view from an upstairs balcony, where they played local Brazilian music.

    There was another area upstairs that played western styled music but as we had got there at about 2 A.M. the crowd had started to thin out considerably.

    Will have good memories from our night out here.

    Super cute chill Sunday vibe - twinky bartenders and a great DJ. Make sure to get your name on the VIP list through their Insta.

    Well, at least the gin tonics I bought from the two normal bar counters. The kind of special gin and tonic place is all the way in the back and up, which can turn to be a mission impossible to reach, if the place is crowded. No need to queue at the entrance to pay for your drinks, as outside on the veranda there are waitors carrying the machines, also, there's a cash register right by the gin and tonic bar at the far end and up. And the crowd is quite mixed, from 45+ wearing pants, to 30+ wearing bermudas. The place has also tables outside away from the noise (kind of on the way out), where you can quietly sip your cocktail while sitting down.

    Gafieira Elite is a nice nightclub with good music and a great atmosphere!! They play a lot of funk and hip hop... You will mostly meet Cariocas there. I can absolutly recommand this place, if you are looking for a "real Rio expereance"!!

    Very nice place if you want to experience the Samba close to Gloria and the airport. Very good music and friendly people. Strongly recommend, a lifetime experience if it's your first Samba.
