Far from being your average night out, Galeria Cafe is a tourist-friendly place to experience Brazil’s outrageously wild nightlife scene.
Galeria Cafe first opened in 1997, making this nightlife venue one of the longest-running clubs in Rio de Janeiro. Situated a short walk away from the famous Ipanema beach, the upscale neighborhood is flooded with art galleries, restaurants, and cultural theaters. The futuristic club has ceiling lights set up in an overlapping grid pattern, flickering to the beat of the music.
During the day, the venue holds all kinds of activities like art exhibitions, mixology classes, and jewelry-making workshops. As the night sets in, Galeria Cafe morphs into a glitzy club, where mainstream pop and electronic house music reign.
The club is popular for its event nights running all through the week. Gay men frequent this proudly LGBT+ friendly hotspot along with many international club-goers.
Rio de Janeiro’s Galeria Cafe prides itself in being a safe and inclusive space where everyone is welcome. Make sure to bring your buddies for a night to remember.
