Spain and Portugal for Visitors

Chain of discos, four in Barcelona alone, each with a different slant, but all gay.

Out-of-the-way club/disco. Don't say its name aloud.

Caribbean music in a disco where people go to be seen, in the Barceloneta district.

Dedicated to live music in Barcelona: venues, bands and ticket sellers.

Everything nocturnal you could possibly want related with Barcelona: clubs, discos, parties, DJ's and more. And it offers the BCN-Nightlife card, which gives worthwhile discounts on entrance prices (and perhaps even more enticing - VIP entrance to some places).

Disco and concert venue.

Likely to have been hired out for private parties, especially on Saturdays.

Down on the seafront, for eating or dancing.

As the name suggests, a club for sharp dressers.

House and dance.

Barcelona vanguard.

Club-restaurant.

A classic.

You are very likely to fall into the Apolo on your Barcelona visit, for it is so central as to be almost unavoidable. Plus, it is one of Barcelona's classic nightspots, with three different "spaces" ensuring that at least you should find something your ears will like. Interesting concerts and the occasional film session as well as its DJs and clubs.

Not the old, elegant Danzatoria, which has closed, but a Sunday club in the WTC complex.

House orientated discotheque.

A place to dress up for.

Seventies atmosphere.

Company controlling a number of important discos in Barcelona, notably the Astoria, Universal and Bucaro.

Company running a number of venues in Barcelona, particularly the orginal Déjà Vu, dedicated to rock, punk and indie.

Luz de Gas is a concert space, Sala B the adjacent disco.

Group of clubs in Barcelona and other places in Catalonia.

The BCN representative of the granddaddy of Spanish disco chains.

Slap bang on Calle Nou, Las Ramblas, the Bagdad is a legendary... what? Strip club is simply too small a word, though it is only a wee little place. The Bagdad is the temple of live sex shows in Spain and probably southern Europe, and has produced most of the big stars in the Spanish porn world - Nacho Vidal, Sophie Evans, Cristina Bella or the late, great Holly One.

Disco in the Eixample
