brall3 Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Aside from the saunas, where do gays hang out during the day at the beach in Copacabana? And are there areas, for example restaurants etc, where gays hang out at night? Quote
Guest KevinC Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 There are plenty of info in this forum. LOL. Quote
Guest bobbalino Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 I usually use Daily Xtra Travel online guides for more comprehensive up do date info. I think it is fairly current for Rio. Be aware that many locals are priced out of the "trendier" more upscale areas. I myself refuse to pay To Ne Mi's caipirinha prices. Also, there is no truly centralized core gay area in the city.

Tomcal Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 I agree with Bobbalino re: ToNemAi's drink prices(about the same as drink prices in Weho Gay bars) but it is a gay bar a 2 blocks off the beach in Ipanema usually packed on Weds. to Sun. nights after 9;00 and I have picked up a number of guys there... here is the FB page for it.https://www.facebook.com/tonemairestaurante/ Quote
Guest lurkerspeaks Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Tomcal, i never realized they had an upstairs area. Is that area open to the public as well? Quote
Tomcal Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Lurker, most nights its not open but the stairway going up to the bathrooms is how you access it! Also i believe they rent it for private parties. Quote

You have to be a little more specific on what you want....there are tons of places in Rio where you will see hot guys during the day...Ipanema has a gay area on the beach and during the summer months, there are loads of boys there.... If you like to party and music and crowds...Lapa is a great area to get cheap drinks and eats and see HOT boys.... Go back over the forums and you will see tons of info... Again, it will be relative to when you visit...winter or summer.... FYI...Samba schools if you go with a local are the best....some of the hottest guys are at the samba school practices and its worth trying at night...there are always drinks available at the schools as well Quote

Members Lucky Posted August 18, 2017 Members Posted August 18, 2017 Whereas newcomers to the site need to realize that we can't post all of the basic information every time a newcomer asks, they shouldn't have to put up with juvenile snarkiness that will likely drive them from the site.

Guest bobbalino Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 I think brall has been registered here for several years. brall, if you and others requesting more detailed info were to provide a few words about yourself ... age, expectations for what will occur at various venues, escort-oriented or not (ie, admixture of guys sought), length of visit, etc, I for one (and others here) would be willing to make more of an effort to steer you towards or away from various listings. We actually do prefer to contribute than cuntribute. You have anonymity ... why would we not think you are being lazy in terms of providing personal detail, on top of which you have not evidently made an effort to source the vast info available in the public domain? Fair enough, ask away, put provide context. I am not going to suggest the same entertainment itinerary for a 65, 45, 25 year old, or an extrovert vs introvert, 1st timer versus seasoned visitor, and so on. I get senior discounts ar most sightseeing venues, and pay for sex, so obviously it would not be suggested I lurk around The Week. Equivalency of effort will yield clearer answers for you and greater satisfaction for respondents who enjoy the challenge of tailoring and knitting together info with some degree of specificity. Quote
