- In a recent post I mentioned my preference for Sao Paulo over Rio. A friend e-mailed me a while ago about an upcoming trip he has planned to Sao Paulo and his intent to visit, among other places, a hustler bar I recommended and have visited many times. The hustler bar is called Bar Fama which is located in Centro - Sao Paulo. For those who might be a little tired of Rio, here is a couple of u-tube clips of the typical gogo guys seen at Bar Fama and links to directions to the bar. http://www.dailyxtratravel.com/brazil/sao-paulo/sao-paulo/bar-fama?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 https://kekanto.com.br/biz/bar-fama There are two negative things about Bar Fama that I think deserve mention. Number one is it opens only late at night. The doors open around 11:30 at night but the place does not get busy until after midnight. The second thing is the drag shows. The drag queens sing and talk very loud. They put their microphone almost inside their mouth and then howl while singing and/or talking. This makes it difficult to carry a conversation with the garotos (hustlers) and friends. People tolerate or get used to the loud noise (shows). Many people actually say that they like the shows, even though I doubt people go to the bar solely for the shows. Clearly, the hustlers are what really draws the people. There are also gogo dancers, many of whom are available as hustlers when they are not dancing. During the week, Bar Fama has a fair turn out of hustlers, but Friday and Saturday are the busiest. The hustlers available at Bar Fama are some of the same guys that you will find at the saunas earlier in the evening. However, there are some (perhaps half) of the hustlers who do not go to the saunas and have never been. These non sauna guys are usually more mellow and less pushy to set up a meeting. I don't recall ever seeing steroid type hustlers at Bar Fama. Although I was told that there are rooms available at Bar Fama, I have never used them. In fact, I was never curious enough to see them. There are many hourly hotels within walking distance of Bar Fama. I assume an hourly hotel would be more comfortable to “visit” with a hustler because the hourly hotels do not have the loud screaming drag queen “music” playing as loud as possible. Try Bar Fama. You might like it. -

The Villa is about 3 - 5 min. walk from the station away, perhaps 500 meters. If it is worth, I dont know it. The staff is friendly, the house seems clean and in a quite side street.

Head to Jamaica !!!!!
