  • The eclectic “Black Lemon” restaurant-club features ethnic and world music concerts, performance art and occasional art exhibitions.

  • Resident DJs spin techno (Thu) and dance pop (Fri & Sat) at this buzzing spot.

  • An old-fashioned, dark-wood ascensor (elevator) serves as the entrance to this dimly-lit, convivial bar frequented by a cocktail-swilling crowd.

  • A sleek, 1970s-styled bar with leatherette couches, Café Royale attracts gay and straight drinkers who come to sip cocktails and enjoy eclectic tunes from Duke Ellington to techno.

  • Urbanites flock to this popular nightspot to groove to anything from Mambo Moves to Loungin’ chill-out tunes.

  • Filling the gorgeous courtyard of the 17th-century Palau Dalmases is this sumptuously-decorated “Baroque Space”. Live opera and classical music are often featured in the evenings, but drinks are pricey.

  • Fonfone

    A contemporary club awash with backlit geometric shapes. Experience different dance sounds every night, from fusion jazz to house music.

  • The original cocktail bar in El Born, the intimate, 1950s-style Gimlet pours nice (read: potent) cocktails to a local clientele.

  • Occupying a prime corner of Plaça Reial, this atmospheric café-bar brings in all types. Grab a spot on the terrace with a front-row view of the plaça activities.

  • Dark and smoky, this kick-back jazz haunt features a choice line-up of jazz and blues, flamenco fusion, reggae and African music.
