Baronetti had been recommended to us by a number of people as the best nightclub in Rio, so we were keen to check it out. The first time we went down there, however, the entry charge was so high that we decided to go somewhere else (fortunately, it's located near a number of other bars and nightclubs). The second time we went, we were lucky. The doorman took a shine to my incredibly beautiful friend, and not only ushered us to the front of the queue but gave us VIP passes (lucky, because the queue is a joke).
Inside the decor is pretty similar to a club that you might find in London - shiny bar tops, comfy sofas. We snacked on sushi and then danced the night away to funky house tunes with a selection of flamboyant, glamorous, and international people.
Again, drinks aren't cheap, and you have to carry a card around with you ticking off any drinks that may order.
A bit of a shortage of male eye candy in there (although they do get points for effort), but the women are all pretty beautiful.
If you're looking for Samba and Brazilian beats, this isn't the best place to head for. But if you fancy a fun night out, this isn't a bad choice.
