What makes the Rainbow Kiosk stand out
The kiosk stands on the Copacabana beach promenade at Rua Rodolfo Dantas, in the section that has been popular with gay beachgoers for decades. There are drinks, small snacks and simple Brazilian dishes. You sit in the open air overlooking the beach and promenade.
The kiosk is a meeting point both during the day and in the evening. In the evening there’s often live music, and on Sundays it becomes an open-air stage with a drag show.
Atmosphere and crowd
Queer locals, travellers and beachgoers sit together here after a swim, and it’s easy to get talking. Guests especially praise the location and the happy-hour caipirinha.
A good fit if you …
- want a drink with a sea view after the beach
- want to experience open-air drag on a Sunday
Not ideal if you …
- are looking for dinner in a restaurant
- are looking for a bar with a dance floor
