Rua Teixeira de Melo, 31 | Ipanema
Wednesday to Saturday (check the parties online for themes and timings)
Even though the name says Galeria Café, this is a bar that gets very busy on Fridays and Saturdays with the beautiful boys from Rio and abroad. Sign up on the “lista amiga” via email (each party has a different email, just check on Facebook) and head to the dance floor. It can get extremely crowded, but it is a fun crowd.
