Bar, restaurant, club... at Barcelona

Not all the time I go to fashion restaurants, lounge bars or stylish clubs but also places more local and with simple decoration (only chairs and tables :-) where majority of customers are catalan people and of course more cheaper. On this page, I will put those places I like to go and it is a way to complement my other articles like The nightlife at Barcelona, Lounge bar and clubbing, Enjoying live music...

As a complementary article, I will add the other places I forgot and this page will be updated each time I find a new place that I like so by this way, you will have more recommendation from me and more choice between the typical or fashion place.

And if you find a place you like but not in this list, share your experience by leaving a comment :-) I’m going to give you a tip, before to go to a night club, check their official website and print out the flyer to pay less for the entrance and not always but sometimes, it is your only pass to get in. You may also call them to reserve a table or just to put your name on the guest list so your entrance will be guarantee.
