anes)
This altar to kitsch, a dingy dance hall that has transgressed since the 1920s, is run by the lu-
minous underground cabaret figure of Carmen Mairena and exudes a gorgeously tacky feel,
especially with the midnight drag shows on Friday and Saturday. Due to its popularity with
tourists, getting in is all but impossible unless you turn up early.
LIVE MUSIC
23 ROBADORS
On what remains a sleazy Raval street, where a hardy band of streetwalkers, junkies and
other misfits hang out in spite of all the work being carried out to gentrify the area, a narrow
little bar has made a name for itself with its shows and live music. Jazz is the name of the
game, but you'll also find live poetry, flamenco and plenty more.
LIVE MUSIC
GIPSY LOU
7pm-2.30am Sun-Thu,
7pm-3am Sat; Sant Antoni)
A louche little bar that packs 'em in for live music from rumba to pop to flamenco, along
with occasional storytelling events, and whatever else Felipe feels like putting on. There are
decent bar snacks to keep you going on a long night of pisco sours, the house special.
