Destination Barcelona
Nightlife
Nightlife here begins late, preferably in one of the many bars. The wise Spaniards are of the opinion that you should have a bite to eat while you drink, which is why you’ll find something of this ilk in almost every bar – mostly tapas. The trendy nightlife in Barcelona is constantly changing; you’re best off asking around town where you should be going, such as in the fashion and music shops.
Mirablau
Have a sip to drink and enjoy the widest view of the city from Tibidabo’s hill, either sitting on a terrace or behind large panoramic windows. Address: Plaça Doctor Andreu Tram stop: Tramvia Blau
La Vinya del Senyor
Still the best place to go wine tasting in Barcelona – due to its position opposite the beautiful Santa Maria del Mar church, the ample choice of good wines (which is regularly replenished) and the excellent tapas menu. Alfresco restaurant on the church square. Address: Plaça Santa Maria 5 Metro: Jaume I
Dry Martini
The design reminds you of a gentlemen’s club, and is therefore 'in' again. Excellent address for a little drink before or after dinner. Address: Aribau 162-166
Discotheques and clubs
La Paloma
If you’ve ever wanted to see aged beauty combined with modern and trendy, you should visit La Paloma. Young people perform the paso doble and the tango in this old dance hall. Address: Tigre 27a
Otto Zutz
Nightclub on three floors in a former factory. Spacious and light, this is a good spot to go dancing if the music suits you. The clientele is middle-of-the-road, with a few dolled-up types and a lot of media people. Address: C/Lincoln 15 Metro: FGC Gràcia
Carpe Diem Lounge Club
Club and restaurant in Oriental style with an alfresco café facing towards the sea and a soft interior with sofas. Address: Passeig Maritim 32 Metro: Ciutadella Vila Olímpica
