Monday’s Rio Nightlife Pick – Blue Agave has made a solid name for themselves here in Rio as one of the few great bars in Rio. American owned, Blue Agave caters to all sorts of folks, who are coming in after a long day at the beach or who have a hankering for some tequila shots before hitting the town. Monday night is NFL night with the Panthers verses Eagles starting at 11:30 PM Rio time.
