I've only spend a couple of days in BH (so my tips may be biased by a one time visit), but here are some of my recommendations:
- Graça a Deus: bar with live rock band very close to Rua Sergipe; girls come to this place to get picked up; bar closes at around midnight so great to warm up
- Bwana: small club with live samba/pagode music and baile funk music later in the evening, very close to Rua Sergipe, only gets started after 2AM; this club is not posh, so it attracts a easy going girls that look like their carioca sisters
- Swingers: club with R&B music when I was there; hot girls, but bitchy as all guys are hunting in this place
