  • All the night there is a show in Pelourino, if you have enough time to search are good, but a little bit ‘touristic’. Every mondey and thusday drums band play here.
    Olodum and Timbalada blocos have special drums and dancing school for ‘minhos de rua’ (children that live alone inthe street), to give them a job, so you can find show of this school...try in the newspaper ‘A Tarde’. In the same newspaper you can find show of ‘samba de roda’ (ancient samba session), pagode music, or brega music in different part of Bhaia. Don’t stop to search.....Bahia is music!

    Some place ask for long tousersn no bermuda.

    Off Club in its full glory!
    by Zarasher
    Staying in Pelorinho, there is not any thing really going on past 1am. Used to going to clubs at around this time, we got into a taxi and asked the driver to take us to any nightclub that was open. He took us to OFF club. IT is not immediately evident that it is a gay club as there were a few heterosexual couples. The downstairs area gave the impression that nothing was going on. It was sparsely populated with people scattered on sofas looking quite bored.

    Aftert about an hour we went upstairs and the party was in full swing. The bartenders/dancers were on the tables. The men in just yellow pants and the women in yellow pants and bikin top. Alcohol was being poured into peoples mouths straight from the bottle, after which they were blindfolded and given a head spin. They were also blowing whistles.

    It was alot of fun... made me almost forget that I couldnt pull most of the men in there!!!

    Looks like anything goes... the less clothes the better

    The best hopping area in Salvador da Bahia is Rio Vermelho. Ask for "Mercado do pesce" and then walk around to find out the square you like more. Not far from the street action there are several pubs and clubs to explore. On Thursday-Saturday, from 10pm till late.

    Every Tuesday in Pelourinho there is the "Terza da Bencao" (Tuesday’s Blessing). The historic centre turns into a big live music shows. Don’t miss Olodum drum troupe. www.olodum.com.br for information on concerts and Carnival rehearsals and be ready to get wild.

    Pelourinho is the classic place for tourists therefore after 11pm, most of the "normal" people go home to caught the last bus and you turn just into a ball of dollars rolling down the street for hookers and street vendors...

    Itapoan offers two spots. One is a square full of people drinking "cerveza" and the other one is by the Lagoa de Abate just few minutes walking from the most famous acaraje of Salvador: Cira's. Friday-Sunday, from 8pm till late.

    Dress casual.

    Only few minutes by car from Pelourinho operates this warehouse show house. Starting off around 8pm until 1.00pm depending on the night. Very basic but that is Bahia! Better to go with some local guide. Anyway there is security at the door and inside. Make an agreement with some taxi driver in order to collect you at the door when you are ready to leave.
    Most of the music is pagode (the real heart of the ghetto), sometimes reggae, hip hop and very seldom electronic.

    Age 16-20. Dress a bit down.

    Pelourinho: Music and food

    Earlier in the day, I asked at the tourist information office about where to go at night for good music and I was given a few suggestions right in the heart of Pelourinho. So, I came back at night and went to a couple places, but really you won't need to ask. Just walk around and listen for the music.

    After stopping at a few places, I ended up at a place right in Largo do Pelourinho across from Nossa Senhora do Rosario dos Pretos. I can't remember the name, but the place was an open air joint with two bars, a stage and an Afro-Brazilian group playing some rhythmic drum beats below the stage while a singer on stage was singing a reggae inspired type of music. It was interesting, but as soon I arrived some local girl started talking to me. Now, normally I would have been excited about that, but she had some short, seedy looking guy who was hanging around with her and I didn't have a good feeling about it. I tried to get away from them in the club, but she kept following me, trying to dance, wanting me to buy her drinks. Finally, I left and still they followed me as if I were inviting them to hang out for the night. In order to get away, I hailed the first cab and jumped in. A few blocks later, I got out and slipped into another place from which I could hear music thumping in the night air.

    Bahia Cafe: Upscale partying

  • I cannot remember what night I went here, but if you get the book "Salvador for Partiers" it tells you what is on on what nights. It is a restaurant and bar as well as a club, so when we got there people were eating and listening to music at the same time.

    The entrance was 25 Reais which ensures a certain amount of alcohol, maybe 20 Reais or so. so you get a card of some sort, which they mark off how many drinks you have had. If you go over the amount you paid on the door, you pay the excess at the end.

    This was the only club that we wnet to that played Pop/R&B/Rap. They only played about half an hour of it and the rest of the music was Brazillian pop music and other random stuff.

    Classy and sophisticated

    Very popular on Wednesday is the kind of place you go if you feel like street party all night although it takes place in a alley and you pay for it (5 Real). Live pagode and samba. Get there at 10pm.

    Dress down. Age 25-40.

    The club scene in Salvador is limited to the small Salvador’s elite. Almost all the clubs offer live music too and only few of them leave djs take over completely of the dance floor. Fashion Club is the classic club in Salvador with a bit of everything. Two floors, big dance floor for a college crowd. Djs stage and live music. Age 18-25. Get there 10pm or queue.
