I really enjoy going there when I'm in Rio. It's not always crowded, but even when it's empty, it's always been good for me. Diverse crowd, out of nowhere some hot guys show up and change the night. They should have more parties on weekdays, the bar isn't very inviting. But the upstairs area is great. You have to be careful getting there, as it's a dark street, but it's easily accessible.

When I go to this place, I feel very good being in a completely masculine universe. Being a man and liking men who are like me is like being a scientist and going to a scientists' meeting, not a magicians' meeting. If you understand who the magicians would be...

Comfortable environment. Super hygienic. Good quality drinks.

I just think that, strategically, the shows are spaced out quite a bit at the end of the month. I arrived at 10 PM and left at 12:23 AM on April 23rd, and didn't see any shows. I've been there other times, arrived at 8 PM, left around 2 AM, and saw two shows, meaning there's no regularity in the show times. However, there isn't much commitment to the customer.

My first experience at Taurus Bar, I simply loved it. Starting with the excellent service, the atmosphere is super beautiful and safe. For anyone looking for a good time, it's worth checking out.

Last night, after waiting for over 30 minutes, I was refused entry because I didn't have an ID card. I'm French and over 50 years old. I was with a Brazilian friend. I don't understand this check. No information is provided on the website or in the entrance vestibule. It's undoubtedly a way to screen people. In short, it's unacceptable.
