Lapa's indoor/outdoor musical hotspot

This venue closed on January 7

From the street this looks like any other of the rather grand Santa Teresa houses that line this part of Joaquim Murtinho, but head down the side passage and several steps and you will appear in some sort of party paradise; three terraces, two bars, a live music stage, a small indoor dancefloor and lots and lots of space for open air partying. The drinks are nothing fancy, but when there are 800 thirsty people clamouring for refreshment the speed of the cans of beer and caipirinha simplicity comes as a welcome respite from the queues of some similar 'informal' clubs. A rather unique spot, with killer views out across downtown to help enjoy the sunrise.
