A venue like nothing I've ever seen - A local suggested this place, and we had our concierge make a reservation for 8:00 That was the perfect time to go, and it did get busy. The music was great, the service was very good, and they have a great system for paying. There's three floors, and I suggest checking all of them out. The food wasn't bad, but that's not why you go. It's a must do while in Rio.

Rio Scenarium... fun! - Very nice experience, excellent atmosphere and service, there is no need to hire anything, there was no line to enter and the reservation is made by email or wsp.

Ok but not great - It is an interesting venue. A lot of the decor is pretty cool. There is one band - good but loud. Don't expect to be able to talk to your tablemates. Food is mediocre at best. Drinks are good and very moderately priced. There is another area with a DJ, but most of the people are listening to the band. I bought tickets online, but they seemed not to have any idea what my tickets were for. There are plenty of tables, so I'm not sure what I paid for either. The food and drinks are extra, no matter what tickets you pay for. I'd just show up for the music and definitely not for the food if I had it to do over again.

Older crowd vibes - I'm 38 I felt like I was in a nursing home. Everyone was in their 50s and up. Maybe the crowd for someone else but definitely not me

Wonderful Venue .. poor tour guide - We were waiting for the guide for a long time. The place is nice with a lot of history and antiques, but the guide never showed us around nor did she teach us any samba moves.

Not worth the trip - They advertised 3 levels of music but there was only music for a short time on one level. Our guide stuck us our group on the second floor far away from the music. She was too busy having fun with her friend and barely paid any attention to us. The place is over rated and was not enjoyable. The cost is too high and not worth it

Nice venue, unnecessary guide - A rip-off. Price of admission not included. We got there at 8 - no queue to jump and easy. Safe enough environment outside. Lots of tables available. Having a guide added nothing. A very expensive babysitter and taxi ride! Scenarium itself is fascinating and music lively although sound man should get his hearing checked! Had a good dance. Food acceptable but not great. Drinks reasonably priced. Go, but not with this organised tour.
