Nightlife and clubs in Barcelona
There are a lot of bars, clubs and live music places all over Barcelona and it can be difficult to make a choice. Most clubs are empty before 2 am, but if you enter before 1 am sometimes its possible to enter for free or to pay half price.
On the Passeig de Maritim in the Barceloneta/Olympic Area are a lot of stylish bars and lounge clubs with terraces overlooking the sea, some offering dinner early in the evening and turning into dance clubs later on. Well known are: Catwalk, Shoko, Carpe diem lounge club, Opium mar and much more…..
The Pacha and the Otto Sutz are located in the upper part of Barcelona, but taxis are pretty cheap in Barcelona and the clubs are well worth a trip.
Other, more centrally located options are for example Karma on Plaza Reial in the Gothic quarter, Fellini Club on the Ramblas, Moog with the finest electronic music close to the Rambla, Apolo in the Raval area where you can enjoy also a lot of great live concerts and the Jamboree Jazz Club on the Plaza Reial with concerts jam sessions every monday.
A very trendy place is the OPIUM cinema
