Gay Nightclubs in Rio de Janeiro

Gay Nightclubs in Rio de Janeiro; The Gay & Lesbian Scene

There is of course more than gay nightclubs in Rio on the Gay & Lesbian Scene (here after GLS). On sunny days the beach close to Posto 8 (Lifeguard Tower 8) in Ipanema is full of gay from all over the world, straight up from there is the Rua Farme de Amoedo where there is quite a few bars with GLS profiles. I have mentioned some of these places in my Bars & Botecos section. What follows here are just the nightclubs.
