Interested in Copacabana gay clubs and night life? Learn here where to go.

Copacabana gay and lesbian life is very active and you will be surprised by the multitude of choices that get in your hand.

The only things missing the scene are the specialized places: like leather bars, maze and dark lighted bars, fetish bars. This is because the trend in Rio is against segregation thus you will often find gay and straight groups having fun and drinks together.

The Copacabana gay bars are much respected and some of them are running for decades (La Cueva is still active after thirty years of existence). A good place to start your search for fun is Maxim’s Café right near the Copacabana beach. This placed is popular and will gather both straight and gay people.

The most popular gay place in Rio is Le Boy. This place is built into a renovated movie theatre. It can accommodate around 1000 people and it is open from Tuesday to Sunday. There is also an alternative especially for the girls: Le Girl which is open in the old location of the Mariuzinn bar. This is a more intimate place.

If you are looking for a gay bar opened Mondays you should go to Incontrus. This place is around for 15 years and it accommodates all kinds of people: travesties, older gays, lesbians, gym bunnies and stray Barbies. If you are looking for Copacabana gay parties, a local paper might be of great help. Be careful when going on such parties and always go with someone that knows the language.
