Set on boutique-lined d'Avinyó, Soda is equal parts clothing shop and nightspot. Stop by in
the day for stylish dresses, blouses and shoes that draw both a local and foreign hipster
crowd. By night, Soda lets down her hair, with a low-lit bar in back where thirsty shopping
companions can enjoy a glass or two. Soda also hosts occasional DJ nights where a party at-
mosphere prevails.
