Copacabana, Nightclub in Midtown Manhattan, United States.
Copacabana is a nightclub in Midtown Manhattan, just north of Penn Station. The space spans four levels with multiple dance floors, several bar areas, and lounge zones throughout.
The original club opened in 1940 on East 60th Street as an entertainment venue for Latin music. Over the decades, it has relocated to five different locations across Manhattan.
The name comes from a Brazilian beach district known for its lively nightlife and musical traditions. That connection runs through the venue's story as a hub for Latin music, where those rhythms and energy still shape what happens inside.
The entrance is on West 34th Street, a few blocks from the Hudson River. The venue is open Tuesday through Saturday, and you should know that special events like dance classes and live performances happen regularly throughout the week.
The club served as a filming location for scenes depicting New York nightlife in several famous movies. Its interior appears in films like Goodfellas, Raging Bull, and The Irishman.
