About
Tucked away in the historic and bohemian Glória neighborhood, Club 117 stands as an iconic landmark on the gay map of Rio de Janeiro. Known locally as 'Club 117 by Monik,' this expansive three-story gay sauna and cruise club offers an authentic and high-voltage Brazilian experience tailored for gay men and the global LGBTQ+ community. As you navigate the venue, you’ll find a diverse range of facilities designed for both relaxation and excitement. The club features a dry sauna, a spacious steam room, a dedicated movie area, and multiple dark rooms and private cabins for those seeking intimate connections. Unlike standard bathhouses, Club 117 doubles as a performance hub; the central bar area often comes alive with charismatic drag shows, gogo boy performances, and social events that bridge the gap between a spa and a nightclub. Whether you are a solo traveler looking to meet locals or a group wanting to experience Rio’s legendary queer nightlife, Club 117 provides a welcoming, no-pretense environment. Situated conveniently near the nightlife of Lapa and the scenic Flamengo Beach, it remains a top-tier destination for anyone looking to dive deep into the city's sensual and social scene. Add this legendary venue to your Rio itinerary for an unforgettable night in the Marvelous City.
