Discover ABC Bailão in São Paulo: a legendary gay dance club for mature men, retro hits, and an unpretentious, welcoming vibe.
Step into a piece of living history at ABC Bailão in São Paulo, a legendary destination on every local’s gay map. Tucked away in the vibrant Vila Buarque neighborhood, this iconic dance club is a celebrated sanctuary for mature gay men and the "daddy chasers" who admire them. Since its inception, ABC Bailão—short for 'Amigos Bailam Comigo' (Friends Dance with Me)—has championed a welcoming, no-attitude atmosphere that prioritizes genuine connection over trendy posturing. The venue’s charm lies in its nostalgic energy. Under the glow of classic lighting, guests groove on a retro checkerboard dance floor to a curated mix of disco-era hits, Madonna classics, and authentic Brazilian rhythms like forró and bolero. While the crowd is a beautiful 'encontro das gerações' (meeting of generations), the club remains a mecca for the 50+ community, even offering senior discounts to its most loyal patrons. With its spacious mezzanine, multiple bars, and a subtly cruise-y vibe, this queer staple offers a unique, unpretentious side of the city’s nightlife. Whether you’re here to find a dance partner or simply soak in the history of one of São Paulo's longest-running LGBTQ+ spots, ABC Bailão delivers an unforgettable, soulful experience.
