Tomcal Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 Acyr and Jorge the owners of Meo Mundo are giving up their lease on Pointe 202 and Junior will resume running it. He said with the bad economy there just isn't enough business to make it financially viable to them as they were paying Junior a high monthly payment Quote
TotallyOz Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 Wow. Sad. But, not unexpected. They do great at Meio Mundo. I hope they keep that up! axiom2001 1 Quote
Members redxs Posted October 8, 2016 Members Posted October 8, 2016 What will likely happen to 202 now? I visited twice this year and found it a little disappointing compared with 117. Under new management will things get better, more men and boys visit? I hope business does pick up at 202 as I prefer its location. Quote
Tomcal Posted October 8, 2016 Author Posted October 8, 2016 Now that mgt is back under Junior i fear things will get worse not better! I have already heard that 1/2 the staff is leaving wgeh they gound out he took over today! OZ, yes MM is doing well for them and they intend to focus on that. Acyr is sctually in miami right now and in 2 weeks staying with me in SoCal for a few days! Quote

This saddened me because I know what it was like during the early 2000s when it opened. It was bursting with business most nights. I hope to be in Rio de janeiro in August 2017 and plan to go to Meio Mundo and Club 117; ...don't know if I'll venture to Point or not based on my latter previous experiences! Quote

Usually I'm based in Copa and I think it's a little tricky to get to MM? 117 is a short trip on metro or 20 minute taxi drive. 202 I can walk there. MM seems too far away for me jeje - is it worth the effort or just stick with 117? Quote
Tomcal Posted October 9, 2016 Author Posted October 9, 2016 MM is three more stops on the metro from Gloria(117) about 5 mins on metro! Its worth a shot i have metvsome incredible guys there that after working there for 6 months or so graduate to 117. But then i am a big HO and go to all three saynas on the same night sometimes especially a friday! I start at MM then 117 then point, so i end the evening in copacabana. Quote
Guest bobbalino Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 You can tie in some long-established sights up that way, and of course in the vicinity the new port zone overhaul with museum, light-rail transit, etc, is on my not to be missed, or walk to MM following a 2-way ferry to Niteroi (Oscar Meyer art museum, etc).

Guest bobbalino Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Sorry ... got off topic The shit/shave/shower amenities at NMM are the least user-friendly, but I have met some stunners that helped transcend any venue deficits. Baby wipes may come in handy ... like camping out in a pup tent with a worship-worthy gawdroto. Usually subway'd and short jaunt a pied by choice. Pnt202 last May on popular Wed night, had a few drinks ... I have never hooked up there over repeated visits. At 117 and NMM I have not been able to work in all the guys I want, in contrast. Luck of the draw, a chacun son gout (taste). Quote

OK I'll work a visit to MM early into my next trip. If I like it I can go a few more times. I assume if I ask guys back to my hotel from MM they will be as likely to take up the offer as they would at 117 and 202? Quote

Members Gotti Posted October 10, 2016 Members Posted October 10, 2016 So Point will get back to its origins, trying to pass for a nightclub, with strobe lighs, horrible DJs and hardly any patrons with more drag queens on stage than people on the audience! Quote
