1. Orbita Bar

This popular rock and roll bar is set inside the well-known Dragão do Mar area, and is best loved for its rock hits. If you’re into a more relaxed vibe (think Jack Johnson), fear not – Orbita also has some nights that cater to the surf crowd.

2. Pirata Bar

Bar, Pub Grub

Pirata Bar promises to give you a fun-filled Monday night, complete with dancing pirates, and it definitely delivers. It’s a raucous environment with live music, so come prepared to party, whether for that famous Monday night excitement or on another day of the week.

3. Boozer’s Pub

Bar, Pub

For rock and blues fans, there’s no better place to be than Boozer’s Pub. This Irish-themed bar has a great selection of beer and pub food, and makes for a perfect night out of drinking, dancing and shooting pool.

The traditional Brazilian dance and music of forró is found throughout the country, but one of the best places to give it a try is at Fortaleza’s Arre Égua. It’s hard to stay seated with the entire crowd out on the dance floor, showing off their moves in this intriguing dance.
