A former bordello in Glória, La Passion Lounge has been transformed into the hottest night club on the block (admittedly without much competition this side of Lapa), and though inside it still resembles somewhat the layout one might associate with such a place, the cigar room on the ground floor and associated sushi bar transform it into something more upmarket. Thursday to Saturday nights the lounge offers a refreshing burst of energy in the area, just be careful walking around the neighbourhood in the wee small hours.
