      La Cueva is Copacabana's oldest gay bar, having been founded in 1964.

      The bar and disco is a popular meeting place for Rio's older gay community and their admirers, with Brazilian and electronic music being spun until late.

      The interiors of La Cueva are what makes it truly unique: you'll feel like you're underwater!

      Fridays and Saturdays are when this place really heats up.
