; Plaça Reial 3; 10pm-4am; Liceu)
This pipe smokers'
club is like an apartment, with all sorts of interconnecting rooms and knick-knacks - not-
ably the pipes after which the place is named. Buzz at the door and head two floors up.
BLONDIE
Bar
(

;
Carrer d'en Roca 14; 8pm-2am; Liceu)
This Italian-run bar has
subtle, multicoloured lighting, black-and-white tile walls, Estrella Galicia beer (the coun-
try's crispest lager) and something of a conspiratorial air.
EL PARAIGUA
Bar
( 93 302 11 31;
www.elparaigua.com
;
Carrer del Pas de l'Ensenyança 2; 10am-midnight Mon-Wed,
11am-2am Thu-Sat; Liceu)
A tiny chocolate box of dark tinted Modernisme, the 'Um-
brella' has been serving up drinks since the 1960s. The turn-of-the-20th-century decor
was transferred here from a shop knocked down elsewhere in the district and cobbled
back together to create this cosy locale. In the basement bar area, DJs spin on Thursdays
(from 10pm) and live bands - funk, soul, rock, blues - hold court on Fridays and
Saturdays (from 11.30pm).
BLVD
Club
( 93 301 62 89;
www.boulevardcultureclub.com
; La Rambla 27; midnight-6am Wed-Sat; Drass-
anes)
Flanked by striptease bars (in the true spirit of the lower Rambla's old days), this
place has undergone countless reincarnations. The culture in this club is what a long line-
up of DJs brings to the (turn)table. With three different dance spaces, one of them up-
stairs, it has a deliciously tacky feel, pumping out anything from 1980s hits to house mu-
sic (especially on Saturdays in the main room).
