Milk

Nightlife 14 3

Recover, then re-activate

Milk

14

Milk is consistently popular, consistently good and always packed - a sure sign that they're on to something. Though it might look fairly ritzy from outside, the prices are not much higher per dish than the local café on the next corner, and the sofas are great for chilling, while picking up the pieces from the night before.

Bubbles for everyone

Can Paixano

You can order a glass or a bottle, but when you order a bottle of cava you must order at least one sandwich, but what seems to be an obligation is actually a pleasure, because sandwiches are minute made and you can choose from a huge variety.

Las Cuevas del Sorte

Nightlife 10 1

Cocktails in the cave

Las Cuevas del Sorte

10

There's a cozy, intimate atmosphere to the place, which has a somewhat intimidating stair to the cellar. Here's another bar, and seating. The space is sometimes used for DJ sessions and the like. Anything here's good, so go nuts.

Full moon party

Nightlife 16 7

Howlin' at the moon

Full moon party

16

As all music is acoustic, these gatherings have not yet attracted the attention of the local police - how long remains to be seen. It's a great experience, and a good place to get into contact with the psy-trance-hippe-squat-rave crowd, who normally stay very under the radar.

Poble Espanyol

Nightlife 9 2

By Jesper

All of Spain at once

Poble Espanyol

9

This is great fun for the whole family, featuring a number of restaurants, a museum and activities for children. During the summer, you'll find a lot of concerts and other cultural events, including an open-air cinema, and there is actually a number of nightclubs there as well.

Marmalade

Nightlife 10 1

By Jesper

Just another Raval burger joint

Marmalade

10

If the endless bacodillos and the sub-standard kebabs of Raval are finally getting you down, Marmalade might be the ticket - the service is friendly, informal and speedy, and the food very decent for the price. Plus, they also have a pool table for some post-dinner "exercise".

Bar Leo

Nightlife 9 3

A real Bar in Barceloneta

Bar Leo

9

It's a bar as a bar should be. A place where people go to meet and have a beer. Simple as that. There are no fancy furniture, no fancy cocktails, no pop music. But there is an old very nice couple that manages the bar. They always have a big smile on their faces, some words of wisdom for you and old spanish music. Really good atmosphere.

Bar + Art Gallery

Cosmo Bar

A great place to relax after sightseeing tour or last night's party and to experience art as the locals do. Do not expect anything more, just a pure enjoyment!

Cerveseria Ciutat Comtal

Nightlife 6 4

By Paula

Sea food experience like a local

Cerveseria Ciutat Comtal

6

Lots of delicious sangria, (get the full pitcher, the 1/2 will cost you nearly the same and you will want more), variety of cheese and breads. Mushroom tapas to die for and many other choices, especially for meat eaters. While there was less selection for vegetarians, trust me you don't go hungry.

Bitacora

Nightlife 5 0

By Jesper

Spanish and South American classics

Bitacora

5

The open kitchen means the smell of food is always in the air, so go for lunch or dinner first, then stay for drinks. The music's usually a mix of classics, but at least it's not a radio blaring in the background.

Dux

Nightlife 6 1

Hidden gem: homemade gins and cocktails

Dux

6

Gin has become really popular in Barcelona, besides the well-known brands this place offers their own homemade gins! Also live music, which is not that easy to find in Barcelona sometimes.

Aura Beach Club

Nightlife 5 0

By Jesper

A bit of that Ibiza feel

Aura Beach Club

5

It's a bit decadent, to be honest, what with VIP areas, a huge swimming pool and different corners to chill. But the party goes on, and it seems that as soon as you're inside, the bouncers don't really care what you do.

Nevermind

Nightlife 5 0

By Jesper

Where the 90's never died

Nevermind

5

For an inner city venue, Nevermind attracts a nice local set, most of whom speak at least a little English, so you can get some tips on what's on in Barna. The beer selection is rather naff, but they serve a mean caipirinha bucket-sized.
