How can you close a nice little place like Salsa Bar yet continue to allow Azucar and Coco Loco to remain open?
For those that haven't been, Salsa Street in Ponta Negra is a street full of bars and clubs where (mostly tourists) go. On that street there are two open air brothels which are very open about being packed with people "on the job".
On the other hand there are some very nice bars which both Brazilian and International tourists alike enjoy visiting. Salsa Bar is one of the latter. Not to say there aren't any "working" people in the bar but the ones there are a lot more discreet and the general atmosphere is a lot more socially acceptable.
Salsa Bar is just on the right as you enter Salsa Street, was normally full of people and had a short Capoeira show (Capoeira = Brazilian martial arts dance) at midnight which people really enjoyed. They also had salsa lessons throughout the night, with two young men and two young ladies inviting people from the crowd to join in. They had preserved a lot of trees within the bar and generally speaking it's a nice place to have a caipi and watch/participate in some salsa.
They closed it down last Friday because of "noise complaints from the neighbours" - yet Azucar and Coco Loco and all the others remain open?
Anyone on the ground have more info about this? I'm curious as to the real reason/outcome
