Barra da Tijuca bars and clubs are famous for being playgrounds for the rich and beautiful elite, and anyone visiting hotspots such as Nuth would have difficulty arguing with that description.
But while nightclubs and bars in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, provide plenty of opportunity to put on your glad rags and hit the dancefloor, there are more relaxed nightlife options too. You can go bowling or catch a blockbuster film at the New York City Center entertainment and shopping complex, or take in some culture at the Teatro dos Grandes Atores.
There is casual drinking and dining to be found at Parque das Rosas, while informal bar-restaurants such as Sao Nunca botequim and Bar Civil provide over low-key drinking and dining options. For something a little flashier, impress a date at the suggestively-named Taste Me.
