Maceio had only one nightclub when I was there, but used to have two. The big one (Aeroporco) had just closed (they said for redecoration), so the only place was Arena. This is a very nice place with lots of people on Fridays and Saturdays. It's also a street with lots of pubs and bars, all with tables out in the street. This place was very crowded a couple of days during my stay, but that might have been because of arrangements of the "Cultura Cidade". In this street it's also some nice Forró-bars, where you can dance forró. I was invited with some local girls to go dancing, and it was really funny and challenging. There are also a lot of baraccas in Maceio. The one called Olimpia has some events during the week, but I never got to this place. There are probably a lot more places, but this is what I found out during my stay.
Dress Code: Most places was casual, but at Arena many of the people had dressed up a bit (but no problem with casual wear)

If you want to try a typical Brazilian's dance, the Forro, you must go to Lampião.
