Tau Bar Club - Boate em Copacabana — Restaurant in Região Geográfica Imediata do Rio de Janeiro

This is a very small club with a low ceiling, bad air conditioning and grumpy bar staff. I went during a Brazilian funk night, and most of the music was just western pop with a funk beat played over it. They had furniture scattered all over the place, which blocked the flow of the (small) crowd and prevented a proper dancefloor from forming. On the plus side, the staff member on the door was lovely.

!!! PLEASE do not charge more than the price of the drink you want to drink, otherwise when you want to order more, they will tell you there is no credit left. If you need another drink, then just load again the card with the value of that drink.
