Rio Nightlife Guide for Thursday, September 6, 2018
We have the top three picks for this Thursday, and below there is a list of bars and lounges that are always a good option.
PARTY:
Karaokê Indie Quinta @ Casa da Matriz (Botafogo) – Indie Karaoke this Thursday at Casa da Matriz. And they’re celebrating Sex Day (yes, you read that correctly) on the eve of the holiday!
Apparently the 6/9 = 69. But this means that there will be shots of chantilly & catuaba, sex on the beach with double shots, decorations and ‘erotic’ gifts.
On the first floor dancefloor, from 9pm to 5pm the stage is yours! You can sing any of the indie classics from throughout the decades…There are over 8,000 songs on their karaoke playlist!
On the second floor dancefloor the vibe is pop, rock and Rio funk with the best DJs and the perfect vibe for this saucey night.
The line-up of DJs is as follows: DJ Kleber Tuma (Alien Nation) & Felipe Varne (New Wave Hookers) will be spinning a 100% set of rock tunes, DJ Pilar Garcez will play the biggest pop hits, and DJ Luana Paiva (MOB) will be filling the dancefloor with Rio funk!
Finally, there will be artisanal beer direct from the brewers for only R$10.
Tickets are between R$10-R$25 and the night begins at 9PM.
