Tuesday, December 4th, 2012 Nightlife Guide

Tuesday’s Rio Nightlife Pick – Mini Menos has been going strong now for over a year in Humaitá, offering a great atmosphere of music, beautiful people, stiff drinks and food from nearby neighbor and partner Meza Bar. The music is held down by local carioca DJs Rafael RM2 and Gustavo Tata, both experts in their skills and musical selections.

Barmaster Sandra Mendes commands the bar with creative and unique cocktails and drinks, always putting a well deserved smile on the face of her patrons. Beginning early, after work, the night progresses and fills up with house, disco and funk.
