The experience
A three-storey 19th-century mansion on antique-lined Rua do Lavradio, packed floor to ceiling with vintage props and clocks. Live bands play samba, pagode, choro and forro from around 10pm until the early hours, with couples dancing across multiple floors. One of Lapa's most famous and atmospheric night venues, drawing locals and visitors alike.
Lapa's grandest samba house, where three floors of live music and antique decor make an unforgettable carioca night.
