Who says Zone Oeste doesn't rock? Mr. Trip is a nice bar with a great atmosphere and friendly…read moreattendants. In the restaurant you are surrounded by stars on the wall such as Jimi Hendrix and Queen. You can enjoy a tasty hamburger here. And after you are done, you go upstairs for a live rock show. I was amazed by the quality of the bands playing here. I really liked The Windows (The Doors cover band). If you like live rock music, you should really visit this place sometime. Especially on a Friday or Saturday.

My friend and I wanted to explore Lapa, especially its nightlife, and after walking through the…read moreentire street full of restaurants and bars, we decided on Leviano. It was a good choice. The seats were both on the inside and outside, with seats on the inside having a good view of the outside as well. Service was also excellent. As for the food, my friend got the steak sandwich, and she absolutely loved it. I got the 3-cup ceviche, and it was just okay for me. I've never had ceviche that oily before, so that threw me off. We both got caipirinhas as well, and they were so strong that neither of us could stand them and had to send them back. I appreciate the waiter being generous about the drink and bringing me another one instead, but I could barely finish a third of the second drink he brought. I do wish I got another entree at Leviano. I bet the other options they have are great. Overall, it's a solid restaurant in the heart of Lapa, so you can't go wrong with it.

A very fun cocktail bar. I really appreciate a well-made cocktail, and theirs are pretty top notch…read more(not the best I've ever had, but definitely among the best I've had in Brazil). Interesting signature cocktails (mostly fruit-based stuff) as well as the classics (like caiparinha's and Negroni's). There's tons of outdoor seating (perfect for smokers), and the night I went, there was an awesome live band (Brazilian rock/hip hop). There's also two other floors to this place. The second floor is just bathrooms and the in-house DJ. And the third is an air-conditioned dance floor. When we were there, we had a Jamaican waiter who spoke English. He was really cool, and service was relatively quick, given how many people were there.

Bottom Line: All night fun!…read more My girlfriend and I had a blast at this club! There are two levels both with bars and played rock pop on the first floor and hip hop / EDM on the second level. This place was cracking all night. I think the average age for this place was mid-twenties. There is some room for chilling and sipping on your drink but it's so loud don't expect to have much a of conversation; this place is for dancing. Overall the club is not too dark; there are lots of strobes and such. There is also a shop on the second floor that has some cool merchandise. This place had a good vibe. We figured it was time to leave when we saw people being carried out (barely coherent) and passing out while standing! Drinks at the bar were pretty easy to get and tasted on par for an average club. Tips for tourists (from a tourist): Cariocas (residents of Rio) go out later. Don't arrive earlier than 10 or 11 and expect to stay at least until 3. I think like many other places, you pay at the end of night when you leave so DON'T LOSE YOUR DRINK CARD or else they will charge you a lot of money! For comparison, it works like a dim sum restaurant if that helps.

First night out with our Brazilian friends! Great place to see the nightlife. We showed up just…read morebefore 11:30 so women get in free ($40R regular at the door, and $15R off if you buy in advanced). They also get a cup of champagne, not a bad deal. Last night it was I love rock and roll theme and they played all the great hits from the 90's which was a lot of fun. Upstairs was less crowded with indie and rock Pop, which wasn't as popular. There are some couches to rest if you need a break. Plenty of cozy corners for people to make out, though that didn't stop people from using the dance floor. The drinks ran from the cheapest beer, Antarctica ($8R) and other domestic bottles for a few more reais. Other imports, like Guinness and delirium tremens ran $30R. They had a big selection of mixed drinks, the mate caribe (mate, Malibu,vodka) was super easy to drink as well as the standard Cuba libre ($28R). All of which you pay according to the drink card they give you when you enter (don't lose that because it's your ticket out!) and pay at the counter before you leave. I was surprised that the two stall woman's bathroom didn't have too long of a wait and though it ran out of toilet paper there was still hand soap and paper towels left. We were lucky to grab the taxi that was waiting outside so it was easy for us. Don't know if they always have one waiting but they should with lei seca
