Clube Manouche

Gávea, Jardim Botânico & Lagoa


Downstairs from the main restaurant in Casa Camolese, Clube Manouche is an intimate music bar designed in the tradition of West Village clubs in New York City. Sight lines are excellent no matter where you sit, and you can order drinks throughout the show. The club lines up some top-notch jazz artists, as well as eclectic sounds from Brazil and beyond.

There are shows three or four nights per week (typically starting around 9pm). Check the website to see what's on. Advance reservations are essential.
