[QUOTE=Jake993]Emporio opens most nights at 23:00 (11:00 PM) and seldom closes before 5:00 AM. It rarely gets going before 12:30 AM. If you show up at 2:00 AM on Thursdays night the place will have spilled out onto the street. Show up at 3:30 AM and there are drunk sluts (non-GDP's) laughing and carrying on. It can be hit or miss but I have dropped by a few times for a night cap at 3:00 AM and have ended up bringing a girl home a couple of times. In fact, once I brought one home because she was so drunk I didn't think she would make it back to her parent place in Laranjeiras. Once I got her to my room she passed out on the sofa with a drink in her hand. You can imagine her surprise when she woke up at 8:00 AM not knowing where she was (I know the feeling well).[/QUOTE]
Below is an excerpt of something I found googling Emporio, gonna have to put this place on my radar.
