Lounge bar and clubbing

Barcelona is, not only considered but also, a famous city for its nightlife where people (spanish and foreigner) go out during night time to look for diversion and to pass great time.

Alcohol is the favourite drink of majority of person and I take the opportunity to tell you to drink with moderation because here, you will serve generously by the barman and the price is very cheap - in this condition, the abuse is very quick and easy.

On my topic The nightlife at Barcelona, I described more the lively zones and where spanish like to go so in this one, I decided to tell you more about the different places

I get used to go and some of my favourite ones. In fact, I will focus more on lounge bars and clubbing. A lot of night clubs are free entrance but if you have to pay, the price is between 8€ and 20€ (including 1 drink normally). When the entrance is free, drinks are a little expensive but not always and generally, drinks and cocktails (with or without alcohol) cost between 4€ and 15€ and normally, nightclubs are opened until 5/6AM and bars until 3AM.

My favourite lounge places are Omm, Club Astoria, Red Lounge and Elephant and about dancing places are Universal Café, Lotus, Bucaro and Opium Mar. Following my list of places with some details.

If you don’t want to pay the entrance, I give you 2 tips. Majority of places, if you call before 22h to put your name on their list and if you go before 2AM, you don’t need to pay the entrance. The 2nd option it is to take the flyer given by a guy on the street, to pick it up in some bars where it is free to get in or to go to their website to print it out (some have one and it is easy to find by doing a search) and you have to go before 2AM.

One last thing, it is not a lounge bar, neither a nightclub but it is worth to experience it, Ice Bar (ramon trias fargas 2, phone (+34)932241625). The place is very “icy” so with ice decoration because the temperature is between 0 and -5 degrees. The entrance price is 15€ which includes 1 cocktail and they lend you a cap, gloves and jacket.
