The Home

The Home is one of Rio de Janeiro's biggest and buzziest gay nightclubs, opened in 2022 in the historic port district of Gamboa. Founded by André Almada, the nightlife impresario behind Brazil's legendary The Week, it brings serious production values to a sleek two-story building: futuristic lighting, spotlit ceilings, trippy visuals, and a generous dance floor, with a mezzanine that overlooks the crowd. Queer stage performances give way to local DJs spinning open-format sets that keep a diverse mix of LGBTQ+ locals and tourists dancing till dawn. High-energy and design-led, billing itself simply as "the best nightclub in Rio," it's a marquee stop on the city's queer nightlife circuit.
