Going out on Rua Augusta can be hard because there are so so many clubs. We walked down the street and checked on a few before settling on Inferno. I would say we made an educated decision and reaped all the benefits.
Pro tip - you don't have to pay cover on this street! There's plenty of places that don't charge cover (although "better" clubs do tend to charge cover). They do ask to check passports and they accepted a photo of a passport when accompanied by another form of photo ID
We went on Valentine's Day night and there was a $R20 cover, but we got a $R20 drink ticket. All is fair in love and booze here at Inferno. Drinks are made with GENEROUS pours. I'd recommend getting two vodka shots if you have $R20 to blow.
The theme of the night was neon paint party. There were small pots of neon paints that we had a blast with painting our faces/bodies
Music is great! Loud where it's a bit difficult to talk, but you can still do it. It's def no where as loud as a favela rave where you can feel the sound waves vibrating your organs. Selection was a bunch of top 40 throwbacks, 95% american music (think Maroon 5, backstreet boys, gwen stefani) We loved it! There are also poles on stage available to use as a dancing prop
