Garage Grindhouse is a bar and live music venue housed in a former mansion in the Praça da Bandeira neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
During the 1980s and 1990s, the venue was known as Garage Art Cult (or simply Garage) and played a key role in Rio’s underground scene, hosting shows by rock, metal, hardcore, and punk bands such as Buzzcocks, Madball, and Planet Hemp.
After closing its doors for many years, the space reopened in 2023 under the name Garage Grindhouse. The mission remains the same: to promote alternative and independent culture.
Artists who have already performed at Garage Grindhouse include Rotten Sound, Paura, Papangu, Tyranno, Lágrima Negra, Helltrench, Korja, and Cubüs.
The venue’s concert and event schedule is announced on its Instagram profile: @garagegrindhouserj.
Garage Grindhouse is located at Rua Ceará, 154, in the Praça da Bandeira neighborhood. It is open on Thursdays from 8:00 PM to 1:00 AM; Fridays and Saturdays from 6:00 PM to 4:30 AM; and Sundays from 4:15 PM to 12:00 AM.
