Party Earth Review An animated and rowdy bar, Chupitos (Shots) specializes in creative, over-the-top shots with equally dramatic bar service. Most of the chupitos come with special performances by the bartender, some of which involve the actual bar being set on fire with a blowtorch. Not surprisingly, the house is packed every night with ... more

Party Earth Review In 1942, the famous Catalan writer Terenci Moix was born in Granja de Gavà (Farm Gavà), back when the location was the site of a small dairy and the surrounding El Raval neighborhood was just a shadow of the trendy hotspot it has since become. Yet while the surrounding blocks now constantly buzz with activity at the variety ... more

Party Earth Review Having hosted such legends as Chet Baker and Ella Fitzgerald, Jamboree is steeped in jazz history and firmly holds its place as one of Barcelona’s best live music venues, especially since bebop and Bossa Nova are hardly all to be had here. Patrons of all ages arrive in droves for the nightly concerts, which take place ... more

Party Earth Review Considered by some to be the best first-stop spot in Barcelona, L’Ovella Negra is a rustic tavern whose high wood ceilings, glowing lanterns, stone floors, and cozy wood stoves create an ambiance reminiscent of a cross between the famous German beer gardens and a medieval mess hall. Once patrons have navigated their way ... more

Party Earth Review An immensely popular club with a rich program of events, Sidecar Factory offers unpretentious entertainment every night except Sundays. On Sundays things get REALLY pretentious! Actually, they’re closed Sundays. Although the upstairs bar, with its slick red-and-white color scheme and enormous projection screen, is a fine ... more

Party Earth Review One of Raval’s most authentic pre-club bars, Zentraus is a hip joint that draws a large crowd of music lovers looking for an underground vibe. The black-tiled, somewhat industrial motif plunges patrons into near-total darkness, broken only by faint red lights shooting down vertically from the ceiling and a luminescent bar ... more

Party Earth Review Hidden away on a narrow street in El Raval, Soho is an authentic Moroccan-run hookah bar offering a distinct change of pace from the frantic Las Ramblas just a stone’s throw away. The bar’s open front cleverly encourages passersby to stop in, take off their shoes, and pull up one of the leather cushions scattered on the ... more

Party Earth Review Dusty trophies and vintage football jerseys adorn the brick and stone walls of Black Horse, a popular English pub in El Born where a convivial crowd of British expats, rowdy Spaniards, and a smattering of dehydrated wanderers indulge in pints and friendly chatter. Known as one of the best British/Irish pubs in the city ... more

Party Earth Review Anyone who suffers under the sweltering Spanish sun may find the perfect remedy at Icebarcelona on Barceloneta beach. Overheated patrons are guided into a vault-like room, which is kept at a temperature of minus 12˚C year round, where they are then handed silver arctic-style jackets and gloves. Once thoroughly protected ... more

Party Earth Review In 1957, a neighborhood grocery store was transformed into one of El Born’s first bars – so it’s little wonder that the local citizens have a soft spot for Pitin Bar, a cozy hole-in-the-wall joint on the square. Historic as the place may be, the décor has definitely moved on from half a century ago and now features disco ... more

Party Earth Review Steps from the remnants of a 4th-century Roman wall in Plaça dels Traginers, funky little tapas joint and bar Can Fly offers guests a mellow, gay-friendly spot to hang out in the heart of the Gothic quarter. Especially popular with a local lesbian crowd, the venue’s tiny outdoor terrace – located in the shadow of the ruins ... more
