Friday, July 26th, 2013 Nightlife Guide
Friday’s Rio Nightlife Pick – Nuth is a place where people can
meet to chat, dine, have a drink, play pool, and dance. The two-story house receives patrons every night who are looking for hip hop, pop, and dance music. In the entrance, large wooden tables and benches surround the garden, which also houses a pond with Japanese Koi fish. The interior is spacious and allows lots of room to dance.
On the second floor there is a restaurant and a pool table. International cuisine is served by chef Mauro Paula. At the bar, over 300 drinks are made in a single night. DJs vary through the week, and always ensure a nice mix of rhythms and styles.
