Entertainment in Natal

  1. Sancho Music Club

    The Alto de Ponta Negra neighborhood in the upper part of Ponta Negra, around Rua Manoel AB de Araújo and Rua Aristides Porpino Filho, is dense with a variety of bars, though most are almost cringingly steeped in sex tourism, a major problem in Natal. Sancho Music Club, with tapas and chope is one of the less slimy spots. This area, especially around Centro Comercial O Jardim, is packed from Wednesday to Saturday nights.

    The Alto de Ponta Negra neighborhood in the upper part of Ponta Negra, around Rua Manoel AB de Araújo and Rua Aristides Porpino Filho, is dense with a variety of bars, though most are almost cringingly steeped in sex tourism, a major problem in Natal. Rastapé here, famous for live forró, is one of the less slimy spots. This area, especially around Centro Comercial O Jardim, is packed from Wednesday to Saturday nights.

    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.

  4. Decky

    Stocks Brazil’s most accessible microbrews (Eisenbahn, Devassa and Baden Baden) along with live rock, blues, jazz and MPB every night from 8pm. Plop down on the massive, wind-struck patio or inside the spacious main room with air-con – it’s the most popular spot in Ponta Negra and caters across several age brackets.

  5. Sgt Pepper’s Rock Bar

    Good for food (excellent burgers) and fun, both downtown and at its newest location in Ponta Negra, this hip bar/restaurant dreamed up the North-east caipirinha (pineapple, mint and cinnamon/clove-infused cachaça) and hosts a handle of resident pop, rock and blues acts.

  6. Juke Box Pub

    This new 1950s-themed hot spot in the city center hosts live bands and DJs in two environments: the corner bar (with live pagode; popular samba music, on Saturdays) and the much more popular nightclub above.
