Gay/Lesbian entertainment in Rio De Janeiro

  1. Turma OK

    The oldest club in South America has lots of trashy music (and we mean that in the kindest way) and attracts people from all over Rio – and the rest of the world. Not surprisingly, it gets very animated around Carnaval time.

    Star Club

    This wicked place has entertained people for over 12 years. You’ll find glamorous and trashy visitors, bizarre drag shows, karaoke, a dark room and other attractions.

    Bar Bofetada

    This place is frequented by gay guys enjoying a glass of beer after the beach. It’s a good place to watch the boys doing the catwalk up and down Rua Farme de Amoedo.
