LOA

Located in the lobby of the International House Hotel, this cocktail bar welcomes many singles, hip-hop celebrities, TV stars or visiting athletes. Very relaxed though. The lounge/dance/hip-hop music doesn't interfere with the conversation. And it seems like everyone is just passing through this bar on their way to another place. Loa comes from the voodoo term meaning "the pantheon of the gods". For the record, some of the Copacabana's outdoor scenes from the movie Green Bookwere shot here.
