Alto de Ponta Negra
The Alto de Ponta Negra , a neighborhood in the upper part of Ponta Negra, around Rua Manoel AB de Araújo and Rua Aristides Porpino Filho, away from the tackier after-dark scene nearer the beach, is dense with a variety of fun bars and restaurants. It's packed with locals and visitors having a good time till dawn, Wednesday to Saturday nights. Just wander along after 23:00 and see which places draw you in.

Órbita
Reminiscent of a college town rock club (with way better looking people than your college or ours), the large, black-and-purple Dragão do Mar bar hosts live reggae, rock, surf and samba rock amid snooker tables and a legion of flirtatious upper-class clientele.
