  • 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.

  • The chink of glasses and the murmur of chattering will catch your ears as you pass this 'blink and you'll miss it' Barcelona gem.

    Just a stone's throw from the Picasso Museum, El Xampanyet is a brilliant bar. Attracting all sorts of people from locals to tourists, businessmen to backpackers, El Xampanyet is a slice of the real Barcelona.

    Xampanyet (or Cava) flows freely - and pretty cheaply - while a variety of delicious tapas is also available. You may have to fight your way to the bar as this small bar gets quite crowded but this is all part of the charm. The hubbub and activity makes for a great atmosphere, whether you stop for a pre-dinner drink or an all night session.

  • 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.
