Metrópole

Recife


Recife’s best gay (and GLS – Gay, Lesbian and Sympathetics) club has multiple spaces, from its main DJ-ruled 'NY Street' dance area to an outdoor area with a swimming pool. There are frequent theme parties and live shows by big-name artists. There are several good gay-orientated bars in the surrounding blocks if you want to get an early start.
