No Alto Bar

No Alto is a rooftop bar and club on the 24th floor of the Edifício Central at Rua dos Tamoios 200, in Belo Horizonte's hipercentro, a short walk from Praça Sete. It revives the spirit of the Top Bar of the 1960s, often described as the city's first rooftop, and its main attraction is the 360-degree view over the city and the surrounding hills. The venue works as a lounge early on and a club later. DJs play pop, Brazilian pop and hits, with themed parties on weekends, and drink promotions such as double gin and tonics on some nights. Guia Gay BH, the city's LGBT guide, lists it among its clubs and parties, and its weekend parties appear in that guide's LGBT agenda: in July 2025, for example, a Saturday party called Topo Tropical ran from Brazilian pop to groove. The crowd is mixed and LGBT-friendly rather than exclusively gay, and the owners describe a wide age range. Guia Gay BH lists these hours: Thursday 22:00-03:00, Friday and Saturday 22:00-04:00, Sunday 18:00-01:00. Entry is listed as free or R$25 on Thursday, free or R$30 on Friday and Sunday, and free or R$35 on Saturday, depending on arrival time and the party. On Sundays it opens at 18:00, so you can see the view in daylight. Reviews of drink quality and prices are mixed, and the lift and door can queue on busy nights. It is a good alternative to the Savassi clubs if you want a view. Downtown streets empty late at night, so take an Uber or 99 to the building's door and back rather than walking around Praça Sete. Check its Instagram for the night's party before going. Entry is 18+ with photo ID.
