Saturday, November 30th, 2013 Nightlife Guide
Saturday’s Rio Nightlife Pick – Club Miroir has been dubbed the “classiest” club in Rio and hosts a mixed bag of musical programming, with hip hop and house on various days. Situated in the beautiful surroundings of the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas and in direct view of the statue of Christ, this gorgeous venue is as attractive as those who frequent it.
The club, which is co-owned by popular Brazilian actor Luciano Szafir, is modern in both design and setting, boasting the latest equipment and intricate decor. Be sure to dress to impress, because Miroir’s public is both fashion forward and very elegant.
