Friday, October 18, 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. As you enter, there are large wooden tables and benches that 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.
