In-Depth Information
10am-2.30am daily, from 4pm Mon;
Universitat)
A super-trendy bar on a street that's not short of them, this place has excellent mojitos -
even pink, strawberry ones - and a fashionable crowd. The main area has DJ music and lots
of excited noisemaking, while the back room is scattered with sofas and armchairs for a
post-dancing slump. On occasional Sundays this is a venue for lunchtime live gigs.
BAR
BETTY FORD'S
5pm-3am daily;
Universitat)
This enticing corner bar is one of several good stops along the student-jammed run of Carrer
de Joaquín Costa. It puts together some nice cocktails and the place fills with an even mix of
locals and foreigners, generally aged not much over 30. There's a decent selection of bur-
gers, too.
BAR
KENTUCKY
Once a haunt of visiting US Navy boys, this exercise in Americana kitsch is the perfect way
to finish an evening - if you can squeeze in. All sorts of odd bods from the
barrio
and bey-
ond gather here. An institution in the wee hours, this place often stays open until dawn.
CLUB
MOOG
mid-
night-5am Mon-Thu & Sun, midnight-6am Fri & Sat; Drassanes)
This fun and minuscule club is a standing favourite with the downtown crowd. In the main
dance area, DJs dish out house, techno and electro, while upstairs you can groove to a nice
blend of indie and occasional classic-pop throwbacks.
COCKTAIL BAR
NEGRONI
7pm-2.30am
Mon-Thu, 7pm-3am Fri & Sat; Liceu)
Good things come in small packages and this dark, teeny cocktail bar confirms the rule. The
mostly black decor lures in a largely student set to try out the cocktails, among them, of
course, the celebrated Negroni, a Florentine invention with one part Campari, one part gin
and one part sweet vermouth.
