Rio Scenarium

Nightclub? Bar? Furniture warehouse? It defies description, but if you go to only one place, check out Rio Scenarium—two adjacent three-story buildings full of multiple dance floors, lounge areas, cocktail stations, and, yes, antiques (the club moonlights as a furniture-rental house for TV and film sets). It's also the city at its most democratic: tourists, favela kids, swank Leblonistas, and dignified sexagenarians all come to hear the best acts in samba and bossa nova.
