HARLEM JAZZ CLUB
8; admission around €7-8; 8pm-5am Tue-Sat; Drassanes)
This narrow, old-city dive is one of the best spots in town for jazz, as well as funk, Latin,
blues and gypsy jazz. It attracts a mixed crowd who maintains a respectful silence during
the acts. Most concerts start around 10pm. Get in early if you want a seat in front of the
stage.
LIVE MUSIC
JAMBOREE
€10-20; 8pm-6am; Liceu)
For over half a century, Jamboree has been bringing joy to the jivers of Barcelona, with
high-calibre acts featuring jazz trios, blues, Afrobeats, Latin sounds and big-band sounds.
Two concerts are held most nights (at 8pm and 10pm), after which Jamboree morphs into a
DJ-spinning club at midnight. WTF jam sessions are held Mondays (entrance a mere €5).

LIVE MUSIC
SIDECAR FACTORY CLUB
10pm-5am Mon-Sat; Liceu)
With its entrance on Plaça Reial, you can come here for a meal before midnight or a few
drinks at ground level (which closes by 3am at the latest), or descend into the red-tinged,
brick-vaulted bowels for live music most nights. Just about anything goes here, from UK in-
die through to country punk, but rock and pop lead the way. Most shows start around 10pm.
DJs take over at 12.30am to keep things going.

La Rambla 27;
mid-
night-6am Thu-Sat; Drassanes)
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 upstairs, it has a de-
liciously tacky feel, pumping out anything from 1980s hits to house music (especially on
Saturdays in the main room). There's no particular dress code.
