Fosfobox Bar Club

Ver nice club, unlike the other places in Copacabana. Most are exclusively for sex workers, here you will find a proper club 👍👍

Small dancefloor and well decorated. Service is hard to rate as it is very hard to be even seen by the barman, placing an order is even harder. Sadly it does not offer a place to relax and have a conversation without fighting with the loud music the closest it gets is a smoker's place.

Great club. Excellent mix of pop and electronic downstairs and great indie rock upstairs. Friendly people, hot young folk. Very nice time. A great find sandwiched between Botafogo and Copacabana.

We paid 60 reais each for entry and expected big things. There was nobody in the initial bar room which was concerning. When we went downstairs we were the only guests outside staff. It was approx midnight. After purchasing a couple of overpriced drinks we left. Good bass tho, on the songs that were playingm

Best underground club ever, Thursdays with pure class non mainstream electronic music, and fun at the weekends, with several parties from Trap to Pop. Excellent staff and drinks.

There are better places.. Had the weakest Long Island ice tea ever. The caipirinhas are ok.

Great music and vibe, friendly and good looking people. Good drinks, reasonable prices and nice service

It is an interesting club for everyone Good Karma but you need to like it.

This place was recommended to me by a friend from Rio who said after you go, life will never be the same. I went with two girl friends and we had a BLAST! TIP: get yourself on the guest list through Facebook or your hostel.. otherwise it was 50R. My ONE complaint that made the beginning of the evening very frustrating is the process to get drinks. Because of the eco cups (no disposable cups- you pay a 5R deposit and you can return it for your money back or keep it as a souvenir)-- you go to one cashier to buy drink tickets, but also need to buy cups. It's a crowded place with unorganized lines, so that took forever. Also- if interested in say vodka Redbull, they are separate tickets and purchases. THEN you take your tickets and your cup tô the bar in another location to get your drinks. Seems it would be MUCH more efficient to purchase cups and drink tickets when you buy your entrance and then if you need refills on drink tickets inside, you can purchase. The drinks were yummy, though not super strong. The caipirinha was delicious and sweet, and the Bahama Mama was great! The crowd was full of beautiful people from all around the world- very international. The sound system was OUT OF THIS WORLD! We went on a Wed which is Native Beats- hip-hop, Top40, Latin, reggaeton and Brazilian funk to finish off the night at 4:30a! The bass is so big it'll make your hair vibrate. Bathrooms are unisex which I found interesting. Definitely have more space downstairs, but it gets packed, hot and sweaty. Overall- what a great way to celebrate our last night out in Rio! Would definitely recommend

Found out about Wednesday night hip hop and house music at Fosfobox through Bem Brasil Entertainment on Facebook, so me and my friends decided to check it out. We discovered it was only a short 8 minute walk from our apartment rental (score!) Walk in and the top floor was quite small. A few people were dancing but mainly crowding the bar. (They were giving free drinks until midnight) After midnight, everyone was liquored up and ready to go! I danced with people from Norway, England, France, Israel and of course Brasil. I was surprised at how many people knew the words to some of the songs because some of the hip hop wasn't mainstream that the DJ was spinning. I was delightfully surprised to hear southern American rap music...made me feel like I was back home in Texas :) We didn't really utilize the bottom floor. That's where the house music was. It was much larger, with way more people and way cooler down there, so we'd go down there to cool off in between hip hop songs. haha They have a pretty decent drink menu but make sure when you order a drink upstairs you get a ticket from the window in the corner so you can hand it to the bartender. That was unusual to me, but no big deal. The DJ was good and I had a pretty epic first night in Rio with my girls thanks to Fosfobox. I'll go again next time I'm in Rio!

Music here SUCKS. This place is seriously only for tourists and people that don't know REAL electronica. I was disappointed when I thought this was the only underground electronic club in copacabana. I think people misunderstood and thought we literally meant "underground." Their sound system sucks as well. If you like deep house, or deep tech house electronica---just go to the cave instead. WAY better. Plus its packed on Mondays!

Some of the worst music i've ever heard in my life. Seriously.. it was TERRIBLE. Honest to god I wondered if it was some sort of test to see if people will listen to poop going into their ears. Essentially no one was dancing as mentioned in another review, also the music just didnt have much of a driving beat so it was really difficult to dance to even if you want to. (and I'll dance and listen to almost anything). Pluses were the drinks were good although expensive. Walking down those stairs made me kinda scared if there was ever a fire. Huge curtain... who thought that was a good idea?

I wanted to like this place. I got there around 1am and the place was dead - no one was dancing. Eventually people started to show up, but most went to a private room upstairs or stood outside and smoked. I paid the cover for myself and a lady friend, but because it was so dead, we wanted to leave and come back in an hour or two. They basically told us we'd have to pay the cover again. If you are coming here, I got the impression you shouldn't bother until after 1:30am

this place was so great. really great vibes all around and really great DJs. My boyfriend and I had a great time and loved that it was LGBT friendly. Would have loved to come back for a deep house night. Will be returning!

On Wednesday nights, it's MUST go when you're in RIO copacabana area. 11pm-midnight happy hour all you can drink caipirinhas only R30 entrance fee (add your name on on their Facebook page list) . DJs on both floors do not disappoint!

Small place, a nice dance floor, and bar. Right in the middle of Copacabana area-- if you're into pop, hip hop and glam rock, then this is for you.
