Rio Nightlife Guide for Wednesday, October 24, 2018
We have the top three picks for this Wednesday, and below there is a list of bars and lounges that are always a good option.
LIVE:
Tributo a Noel Rosa @ Teatro Ipanema (Ipanema) – This evening promises to take the audience on a magical musical journey through the life and masterworks of one of the greatest Brazilian composers, Noël de Medeiros Rosa.
Known as “O Poeta da Vila” (The Poet of the Villa) the artist became famous for combining the samba of the poorer folk with that of the bourgeoisie. Come and take part in this trip with singer Karlo Muniz, with guests including Watusi, Miramar Mangabbeira, Claudia Sampaio, Gabriel Issa and a super band, under the command of musician and arranger Sergio Silva.
This evening is also part of the fiftieth anniversary celebrations of the Teatro Ipanema. Tickets are between R$30-R$60 and the night gets going at 9PM.

PARTY:
Latin Party @ Pub Kriok (Lapa) – The original party that brought reggaeton to Rio is always ready to bring the disorder.
The night is free and has an open bar of beer and caipirinha until midnight. What more could a party need? How about some drinking games, random shots, and dance-offs? DJ Slim, DJ Allan Braz, DJ Muchacho Malo, plus VJ Rafael C are going to be taking over two floors of Pub Kriok and pumping out some of the finest reggaeton, funk and pop all through the night.
On the first floor will be reggaeton, latin pop, world music, hiphop, pop and much more. On the second floor will be merengue, trance, salsa, funk and a whole lot more Miami-style rhythms. After midnight there is a two-for-one offer on caipirinha and catuaba. There will be great photographers capturing the magic, LED light shows, excellent air-conditioning over three floors. This is a night that will go on for a long time (eight years running so far).
