A typical, long, narrow Eixample bar with white-tiled walls like a 1930s hospital, it houses a
plethora of crucifixes and niches that far outdo what you'd find in any other 'chapel'. This is
a relaxed gay meeting place that welcomes all comers. No need for six-pack bellies here.

It's an oldie but a goody. A big bar over two levels with a crowd ranging from their 20s to
their 40s and beyond, this place fills to bursting on Friday and Saturday nights. It's a friendly
early stop on a gay night out, and you can shoot a round of pool if you feel so inclined.
