El Raspall

Located in Plaça Raspall, which, fortunately, is one of the prettiest squares in the city, one that's little-known and hasn't been taken over by the crowds. The Raspall gets a lot of clients every day, drawn particularly by the offer of a free tapa with a glass of small beer ('canya'), wine or vermouth. For €2, you can accompany your drink with: a mini burger, meatballs,  hummus, croquettes, etc.

Chatelet

If you are looking for a quiet dinner or some drinks befor a night out, Châtelet, is a very versatile cocktail bar. The bar opens out onto the street with a large glass front that is pulled back in the Summer, allowing customers to bask in the neighbourhood atmosphere. When the weather starts to cool down, it’s put back in place, but you can still enjoy the pretty street from your table inside.  

Opens every afternoon and it’s always a good time to visit. Until 10pm it’s fairly quiet, and between 10:30 and 11pm the atmosphere tends to heat up.

*Please note that these are clubs we like to recommend as they´re outside the typical ´American bubble´ and your chances to meet locals are thus increased. The area where they are is also less problematic than Port Olímpic. We are in no way associated with these clubs, they´re mere suggestions. As always, use caution when you go out, and drink in moderation. By suggesting these venues our aim is to provide you with a different experience, and we remind you Arcadia staff is not responsible for incidents taking place during nightly outings.
