Lapa 40 Graus

Lapa 40 Graus has earned a reputation for one of the most fun bars in the Lapa area of Rio. This multi-story bar is actually a full-fledged samba club. It has tables for lounging and drinking on the first floor, several pool tables on the second, and then samba music and dancing on the third floor. Lapa is one of the newer clubs in this part of town and is considered one of the hottest places for hearing the best in samba bands. The beers are mostly imported, and the wines are largely European.
