Up Turn is one of Barra’s best-known LGBT-friendly nightlife options — part bar, part balada, and famous for its big, high-energy open bar nights. It’s located inside the Freeway Center shopping complex on Avenida das Américas.

What to expect: themed nights, pop/funk energy, a mixed crowd, and a “party-first” vibe that’s easy to plug into if you’re staying in Barra. The schedule changes constantly, so treat Instagram as the “official truth” for tonight’s theme, start time, and ticket link.

Two tips for visitors:
1) Barra is spread out — arrive by Uber/taxi, and don’t assume you’ll “just wander” into nightlife on foot.
2) If you’re using public transit, some event listings reference the BRT stop Afrânio Costa as the closest station.
