I came here on a Tuesday night (7/8/14) which I'm thinking would be highly unusual except that the…read morenext day happened to be some sort of national holiday in Brazil so there were tons of people out and about in Sao Paolo. My friend Marco H. and I were originally planning to barhop and check out some clubs near Avenida Paulista, but since it was #1. a holiday (people don't have to work the next day) and #2. Brazil had just played and gotten crushed by Germany in the World Cup), I think the Brazilian people were in the mood to go out and have a good time. After walking up and down some street littered with bars and clubs, we concluded that it would be a waste of our time to get in line and try to wait gain entry. Instead, he recommended we go to Vila Olimpia (a trendy district) to check out a club called Royal. For those of you that know me, I like clubs haha. Wherever I travel to, I make sure to check out the nightlife and clubs are usually near the top of my list. Royal was indeed a club and it was really nice and trendy as well. It wouldn't have been out of place in places like Los Angeles or New York. The music was mostly a mix of EDM which I enjoy and some Brazilian songs thrown in intermittently. There wasn't a cover per se, but upon entry, you are given a card (kind of looks like a hotel room key) which acts as currency. When you go to the bar and order drinks, the bartenders will scan the card and your tab is organized via that card. The catch was that you had to spend 200 Brazilian reals which comes out to approximately $85 in US dollars, but I had a great time and it was a blast. The girls inside that club were gorgeous and Marco H had a good time laughing at me while I was gawking at the Brazilian women. An interesting quirk about the club scene in Brazil is that while lots of girls come to dance and have fun, the culture is very different than that of the states. Guys really don't dance. They just stand around and hang out (which I'm sure the girls appreciate because I've had girl friends complain about creepers who try to come up to them and grind with them), and when they do approach a girl, it is to initiate a conversation. Being a "gringo", I broke convention by happily fist-pumping and dancing to the music all night.

If you like to party then this is for sure the place to be, will for sure come back here every time…read morei visit. One of the best clubs I've been to

You can not visit Sao Paulo and don't go to the most famous gay club in the world!…read more This place is unbelievable! Really well organized, and with lots of beautiful people everywhere. Don't be surprised if you catch some famous figures. The location is divided in two huge dance floors. The main one is where the main djs and some ones invited famous world star djs perform for a shirtless crowd with amazing bodies hungry for great remixes while the second one is a good choice for the most relaxed people that like to be tuned into the pop hits. Whenever you feel tired, the club has an incredible outdoor area with a pool, lots of trees and everything very relaxing so you can refill your energy and get into your dancing shoes again. They also have a bar where is served a delicious Brazilian Açaí, a hiper caloric energy fruit juice that is going to help you to go through the entire night that most of the time, has no tome to end. For those lucky ones like me, you might get a VIP wristband to experience another club inside the club. Is jus not a VIP area, is a perfect oasis if you want to get away from the massive crowd and experience the backstage. It even gives you access to the stage, private bars, another private dance floor, bathrooms, a mezzanine over the main dance floor and even a "relaxing champagne lounge". The bathrooms are neutral gender with enough cabins so you don't have to wait in a long line and they are everywhere. Even with the place overcrowded, you won't take more than ten minutes in line to pay your bill when is time to leave. The decoration is always a surprise and depending on the event, they transform the outside area in a huge dance floor. They also have a dedicated smoking area, a first aid room, parking with valet and coat area. And if your trip to Brazil is going to be extended to Rio, be prepared because they also have another club there and is just amazing as this one!
