OttoZutz c/de Lincoln 15 932 380 722, grupo-ottozutz.com ; FGC Gràcia; map . It first
opened as a club in 1985 and has since lost some of its glam cachet, but this three-storey
former textile factory still has a shed-load of pretensions. The sounds are basically hip-hop,
R&B and house, and with the right clothes and face, you're in (you may or may not have to
pay, depending on how impressive you are, the day of the week, the mood of the door staff,
etc). Admission €15. Tues-Thurs 11pm-3am, Fri & Sat midnight-6am.
