Carioca Da Gema - Rio de Janeiro

My favorite place in Rio. I went there as often as I could during my stay in Rio. I went alone a few times. The staff was very nice to me, kept my bag for me so I can dance and enjoy: After a few visits, the staff treated me like a friend. The bands are simply amazing (they change). I saw three different bands and all had different moods and style totally worth every visit. In the middle of the week it is quite, but for me it was better to come local musicians to enjoy the music and sometimes do and play at the end of the night. If you are passionate about Samba, this is the place to go. Admission is 25 (35 weekends I think, and drinks vary between 20 reals and up. You have to go at least once. I brought a friend who had no idea about Samba. I asked what do you think? He answered, Thus shall life be

Simple amazing experience. The band of the servers the amount - everyone had a very warm and welcoming setting. As a jazz fan for me, this felt like the village guards of Samba. Crowd danced together and sang while the music played well until midnight. Drinks were delicious and I recommended the Caipirinha

Came on a whim, paid a cover that we usually don't like to do, but worth every penny. Cheaper beers on Thursday make it much easier, food was inexpensive, fast and delicious. The staff is friendly, the place is limited so that you can arrive early.

Great place for music and drinks and samba! The entrance fee was 30R per person.

Vibrant atmosphere, great live music, respectable prices and beautiful women shaking their hips like there is no tomorrow. Lovely!
