Rio de Janeiro, After Dark
How the Rio Dinner Show Works
One house in Copacabana, three ways to book it, and a show that starts two hours after you sit down.
In Rio de Janeiro, a dinner show means an evening at the Roxy Dinner Show: a three-course dinner at a table in the old Cine Roxy, Rua Bolívar 45, Copacabana, and then Aquele Abraço, a stage revue of music and dance from all over Brazil. This page follows its GetYourGuide listing, Roxy Dinner Show: Music, Dance and Brazilian Cuisine, with 641 reviews. The cheapest option, Dinner & Show, cost US$139.18 per adult on 28 November 2026 and US$153.00 on the January and March 2027 dates checked, and it includes no drinks.
Before you book: the Roxy’s evening, November 2026
The Roxy opens Wednesday to Sunday. Its own site gives the evening in five steps: doors at 18:30, dinner from 19:00, an opening set by the house band, the Banda Roxy, at 19:30, Aquele Abraço at 21:00, and the close at 22:45. The show’s artistic director is Abel Gomes. On GetYourGuide the booking time was 7:00 PM on 28 November 2026 and 7:30 PM on 13 January and 27 March 2027; the calendar shows the time for your night. As a dinner-show house the Roxy is recent: CNN Brasil, in a piece of 14 March 2025, describes the former cinema as shut since 2021 and relaunched in October 2024 for up to 680 guests. The whole evening takes 3.5 hours, it is wheelchair accessible, and you can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before.
The short answer
Book Dinner & Show unless you want wine with the meal. The show is the same on every option. What the dearer ones add is a longer menu and wine, and on the top one two more courses, soft drinks and a photo. If you would order a bottle anyway, the sparkling wine option is the simpler way to have it. Bring a jacket whichever you choose.
Check dates for the dinner show

Prices are per adult, checked in November 2026; 27 March 2027 matched 13 January. A show-only ticket without dinner is among the listing’s inclusions, but it was not among the options on any of those dates.

C2RIO TOURS & TRAVEL’s round trip was US$203 per adult on 28 November 2026 and US$226 on 14 January 2027; Tangol’s was US$241 each for two adults on 28 November, and US$481 for one adult alone. Both cost more than the show alone; what they add is the ride, and no hunting for a cab after 22:45.
Where is the Roxy Dinner Show?
You will find it at Rua Bolívar 45, Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, postcode 22061-020, in what was once the Cine Roxy cinema. Rua Bolívar runs inland from Copacabana Beach, a few blocks from the sand. Uber or a taxi is the easy way there, and the Roxy’s own site lists valet parking at the door from 18:00 to 23:00 for R$70 (November 2026). From the Copacabana Palace it is about 1.7 km on foot, and from Praça General Osório in Ipanema about 1.7 km on foot or 1.8 km by road (both routed). Getting to the Roxy Dinner Show covers taxis, the transfer listings and the walk.
What diners say, and what they complain about
Of the 350 most recent reviews on the GetYourGuide listing, from late March to mid-November 2026, 280 gave five stars. The five-star reviews praise the cast, the costumes and how much of Brazil the show fits onto one stage. The low ratings repeat a short list, and each one is easy to plan around:
- The room is cold. At least five reviews from March to October 2026 say so, and the listing itself suggests a jacket.
- Drinks are charged on top on Dinner & Show. Two reviewers, in March and September 2026, were charged even for water. One guest in September 2026 believed the price covered a meal and a half bottle of fizz, and got the show with a single drink: check that your option has “Dinner” in its name, and remember that only the sparkling option includes the half bottle.
- There is a gap between dinner and the show. Dinner starts at 19:00 and Aquele Abraço at 21:00, and reviewers in May and September 2026 found the wait long. The house band fills part of it.
- The show talks in Portuguese. A reviewer in October 2026 said you will not follow the spoken parts without Portuguese; another, in September, enjoyed it all the same.
Some reviewers also expected a samba show and found samba only one part of a longer revue. If samba is the point, a samba show without dinner is cheaper and shorter: Rio samba show vs dinner show compares the two nights.

Before and after the show
The Roxy closes at 22:45, late for a long walk back along the beach, so most of the logistics are about the ride. What to wear and expect covers the dress rules and the photo rules, and if you are still choosing a base for the trip, where to stay in Rio de Janeiro looks at the beach neighbourhoods the transfer listings collect from.
Guest Reviews
What Diners Said After the Show
4.6/5
from 641 reviews
"It was a great show. I wasn’t expecting it to be funny, but it was. The tables were nice & the food very good. We had nice & fun table mates."
"The dinner was just ok as expected. The pre show entertainment also just ok. The show itself was a wonderful surprise! Tremendous energy, choreography and visuals."
"Fantastic dinner show worth going to.Staging, choreographing and performing of the show were all great and very energetic and the food was good too. Well worth a visit."
"This was a very well put together production! Even though it was in Portuguese and I speak English, I still thoroughly enjoyed the show! I would recommend for others to attend! You will enjoy it! 🥰"
"The show was spirited and entertaining, with talented singers and dancers, and samples of Brazilian regional cultures. Food was unremarkable, and the service was somewhat haphazard, with dishes delivered to the wrong tables. All good-humored and worked out in the end. The entertainers were quite polished, the waitstaff needs more practice/discipline"

At Rua Bolívar 45, Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, 22061-020, in the building of the old Cine Roxy. Go by Uber or taxi; the Roxy's own site lists valet parking at the door from 18:00 to 23:00 for R$70 (November 2026). See getting to the Roxy Dinner Show.
On GetYourGuide the Dinner & Show option was US$139.18 per adult on 28 November 2026 and US$153.00 on 13 January 2027, with no drinks. With half a bottle of sparkling wine or wine it was US$182.13 and US$200.19 on those dates; five courses with wine, soft drinks and a photo, US$256.05 and US$281.67. See Rio dinner show price.
By the Roxy's own schedule, doors open at 18:30, dinner starts at 19:00, the house band plays at 19:30 and Aquele Abraço begins at 21:00, closing at 22:45 (November 2026). The Roxy opens Wednesday to Sunday. On GetYourGuide the booking time was 7:00 PM on 28 November 2026 and 7:30 PM on the January and March 2027 dates checked; the calendar shows the time for your date.
Not on the cheapest option. Dinner & Show includes no drinks at all. Dinner & Sparkling Wine & Show adds half a bottle of sparkling wine or wine per person and nothing else. Only the 5-Course Dinner, Drinks and Professional Photo option includes a welcome drink, red and white wines and soft drinks. See which Rio dinner show option.
The songs and the jokes on stage are in Portuguese. The booking options list an English-speaking guide, but a reviewer on 3 October 2026 said you will not follow the show unless you speak Portuguese, and another on 19 September 2026 enjoyed it all the same without Portuguese. The music and dance carry most of it.
Nothing formal, but bring a layer for the air conditioning. Sportswear, bare feet, see-through clothing and costumes are not allowed, and a jacket helps against the air conditioning. See what to wear and expect at a Rio dinner show.
Yes, with your phone, for personal use. Phone photos and short videos are allowed; professional and semi-professional gear is not: cameras, tripods, gimbals, GoPros and stabilizers. Flash photography is not allowed.
Not on the Roxy's own listing, but two other GetYourGuide listings add the ride. C2RIO TOURS & TRAVEL's By Night Tour collects you from hotels on the South Zone waterfront (Copacabana, Leme, Ipanema, Leblon), from US$203 per adult on 28 November 2026, and Tangol's dinner show with hotel pickup was US$241 each for two adults on the same date (US$481 for one adult alone). Both leave drinks out.
For the show, most diners say yes: of the 350 most recent GetYourGuide reviews (March to November 2026), 280 gave five stars. The complaints that come back are a cold room, drinks charged on top, a wait between dinner and the 21:00 show, and food some found ordinary. If dinner is not your interest, a samba show without dinner costs less: see samba show or dinner show in Rio.
Yes: Ginga Tropical's samba and folklore show plays at the Centro Cultural Veneza in Botafogo, with a short samba lesson and no dinner. It was US$70.05 per adult on 14 January 2027, starting at 8:30 PM; it plays three nights a week.
