a space shared by young and artistic crowds as well as college students, 'bg' is an exciting place to go out and taste rio's nightlife particularly on thursday and sunday evenings - also used as ameeting point for light drinking and socializing before going to nearby venues later in the night.

visitors looking to have an exceptional night out can head to praça são salvador in laranjeiras on a wednesday and friday night - the residential plaza is taken over by locals who go to mingle with one another after a day in the city of rio.

there are many bordering bars but most crowds tend to stay within the plaza and buy drinks from the numerous street vendors standing by with cold beverages.
