LA BAIGNOIRE
( Carrer de Verdi 6; 7pm-2.30am Sun-Thu, 7pm-3am Fri & Sat; Fontana)
This inviting, tiny
wine bar is always packed. Grab a stool and high table and order fine wines by the glass
(beer and cocktails available too). It's perfect before and after a movie at the nearby Verdi
cinema.
Bar
LA CIGALE
Bar
( 93 457 58 23;
http://poesialacigale.blogspot.co.uk
;
Carrer de Tordera 50; 6pm-2.30am Sun-Thu,
6pm-3am Fri & Sat; Joanic)
A very civilised place for a cocktail (or two for €8 before
10pm) and hearing some poetry readings. Prop up the zinc bar, sink into a secondhand
lounge chair around a teeny table or head upstairs. Music is chilled, conversation lively
and you're likely to see Charlie Chaplin in action on the silent flat-screen TV.
LE JOURNAL
Bar
( 93 218 04 13; Carrer de Francisco Giner 36; 6pm-2.30am Sun-Thu, 6pm-3am Fri & Sat;
Fontana)
Students love the conspiratorial basement air of this narrow bar, whose walls and
ceiling are plastered with newspapers (hence the name). Read the headlines of yesteryear
while reclining in an old lounge.
SABOR A CUBA
( Carrer de Francisco Giner 32; 10pm-2.30am Mon-Thu, 10pm-3am Fri & Sat; Diagonal)
Ruled
since 1992 by the charismatic Havana-born Angelito is this home of
ron y son
(rum and
sound). A mixed crowd of Cubans and fans of the Caribbean island come to drink mojitos
and shake their stuff in this diminutive, good-humoured hang-out.
Bar
La Zona Alta
North of Avinguda Diagonal, the
pijos
(cashed-up mamma's boys and papa's girls) are in
charge. Whether you sample the bars around Carrer de Marià Cubí (and surrounding
streets) or try the clubs around Carrer d'Aribau or Tibidabo, expect to be confronted by
perma-tanned Audi- and 4WD-driving folks in designer threads.
