4 Best Nightlife in The South, Brazil

Bar DeRaiz

Fodor's choice
This breezy, out-of-the-way live-music bar has a final frontier feel—a glorified wooden shack perched on the edge of the sand dunes that roll down to nearby Praia da Joaquina. The bar mostly opens on nights when other bars are shut, with different local musical styles for different nights. It's worth checking the bar is indeed open before turning up.

Bar da Deca

Praia Mole
A 20-minute stroll down Praia Mole, Bar da Deca is a loud and lively place to round off a day on the popular surf beach. A favorite on the LGBT circuit, the bar has plastic chairs and tables wedged into the sand, with electronica pumping out of the sound system. To eat, stick with the simple snacks; the crispy, deep-fried pastéis de camarão (prawn pastry parcels) are a good choice.
