Asa Branca

Frommer's Review

The upbeat rhythms and catchy accordion tunes of forró have taken such a strong hold in Rio that even a traditional samba citadel like the Asa Branca -- located in the heart of the Lapa nightlife scene -- now dedicates most of the week (Wed and Fri-Sun) to forró. Thursday is samba night. The crowd doesn't get going until midnight and dancing lasts until the early hours. Open Wednesday through Sunday after 10pm.
