__**Barzinhos**__


 * Devassa**

The Mud Bug Bar**
 * This logo is very common in Brazil and often represents a bar and restaurant. Though somewhat derogatory, the logo is represents Brazil's carefree, fun culture. The beer is very popular in Brazil. In fact, Paris Hilton was featured in one of their commercials but it was pulled after Brazilians complained. We recommend trying a Devassa and attending the restaurant in Ipanema during your visit to Brazil. Photo Source: www.seeklogo.com/images/C/cerveja_Devassa
 * The Mud Bug Bar is a fun place to get a drink, meet people and watch the game. The bar is located on Rua Paula Freitas in Copacabana and is always vibrant and full of people socializing and cheering for their favorite teams. Its a great place to visit on a slow weekday from Monday to Wednesday and whenever there is a soccer game. Copacabana is a great place to eat and drink as it has lower prices than Leblon and Ipanema. You can buy cheap and nice souvenirs at the daily street fairs on the beach.** Photo Source:www.holidayinbrazil.com


 * Lord Jim's**


 * The Lord Jim Pub is a laid back bar with good drinks and great music. Locals come here to meet with friends and catch a soccer match. You never know how packed Lord Jim's will be. Sometimes it was hard to even walk around, while other nights it seemed like we had the bar to ourselves. Be sure to ask locals when is the best night to go.**


 * __Clubs__**


 * Samba Rehearsal School**
 * The Samba Rehearsal Show is a great opportunity to not only experience Brazilian culture but have a great night out. The shows are held on select nights throughout the week in preparation for Brazil's carnival. Tickets for the show can be purchased online, at local hotels and hostels and through a local travel agency. The dinner usually begins at 7:30 pm and show at 9:00 pm. Tickets can be purchased for both together or individually. The dinner and show cost around 90 Reais but its well worth experiencing in Brazil.** Photo Source: www.brazilcarnival.com.br


 * Club Melt**


 * Club Melt has a lounge on the first floor and dance room on the second floor. Its great to visit on Friday and often has special guest bands that perform. The Club play different kinds of music from House to Hip Hop and Funk. Its located in the expensive area of Leblon and is a great place to meet other Cariocas. It can be quite expensive and you must be on the list to enter. Its recommended that you go with other Brazilians if possible as they can often get you in at a cheaper price. Admission cost 45 Reais for women and over 80 Reais for men. The club is very nice and safe. The party don't stop till around 6:00 am so be prepared for a long night.** Photo Source: www.clubvibes.com.br


 * Rio Scenario**
 * Rio Scenario is a great club to visit in The Lapa. The club plays Samba music and gets extremely packed on Friday and Saturday nights. We recommend arriving around 10:00 pm to ensure you get in. From our experience, the club gets packed beyond capacity. Admission usually cost 40 Reais and you can get there via the bus route to Lapa. Its truly a spectacular place to practice your Samba moves and meet very friendly people.** Photo Source: http://farm4.static.flickr.com

 * Soccer Game at Maracana**
 * Watching a soccer game at Maracana is an incredible experience. The stadium is the second largest in the world after the one in China and more importantly, the atmosphere during a game is electric. You can reach the stadium by either catching a metro, bus or taxi downtown. We would recommend wearing neutral colors and returning via taxi after the game. The best game to watch is between the Flamingo and Flumensa soccer clubs. You can purchase tickets for 10 Reais with a student ID and 20 Reais without. Tickets can be purchased at the Flamingo Office in Leblon the day of the game. Watch your back at the game as fans like to light fireworks and others things on fire to celebrate.**
