00
A vibey supperclub to start a long night out. Earthy touches and a double-cool patio with The Statue and the Lagoa in minimal eyeshot. Wicked candy-colored cocktails. House fiesta. Check in on a Wednesday.
Baronetti
A modern retro institution at constant speed. Preppy plebs and sun-kissed lassies. Top-notch resident DJ's mishmash house and hip hop. Limited tables, unlimited intoxication and always packed to capacity
Boox
A hotfoot encased in glass and stylish wooden panels. An overstated white chandelier and cosy rooms create the perfect atmosphere. Small and selective, so rsvp to mingle with the elite. Saturdays are a winner.
