Going out in São Paulo

There's something on every night here. Happy hour packs the bars of Itaim right after work, Vila Madalena fills the pavements of Rua Aspicuelta, Augusta keeps going deep into the night and, somewhere in Liberdade, someone is singing karaoke.

São Paulo's problem was never a lack of people: it's distance. A crush on the other side of the city turns into a long-distance relationship on a day of rain and traffic. YesTonite shows who else is going out tonight in your area, without days of swiping or chats that go nowhere.

On Sundays Avenida Paulista closes to cars and becomes a promenade; once a year, the Virada Cultural keeps the city awake for an entire weekend.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday are the busiest nights, but happy hour fills the bars all week. Clubs usually get going after midnight.
