From an Ibiza-style club to an underground gem, here's where t party after dark (& even later)
BeCool
Tucked away further up Avenida Diagonal from the main stretch of clubs and bars, BeCool remains largely the preserve of in-the-know locals. Weekends are the highlights at this medioum-size venue, with electronic music predominating. The line-ups tend to be impressive: John Tejada, D'Julz, and ArilBrikha are a few of the DJs recently billed. The revolving dancefloor adds an element of comedy to preceedings, and the pop, rock and indie nights in the upstairs bar attract a loyal following of cool kids with even cooler haircuts. A good solid choice for the weekend.
Sala Apolo and La [2]
Former theatre Sala Apolo retains its thespian roots somewhat indirectly, with perfomers and audience in familiar positions: the DJ takes centre stage, the enthusiasts churn in the stalls, and a more sedate crowd enjoy an elevated view in the galleries. The accompanying la [2] space is more intimate, with a samller stage and dancefloor. Club nights run the gamut, from pop-rock at Nasty Mondays, indie and electro at Crappy Tuesdays, and root music on Wednesday. Boombox in La [2] on Thursdays is the most bass-heavy night of the week. Weekends reign supreme, with internationally renowned Nitsa parties serving exemplary electgronica from the likes of Michael Mayer and Ellen Allien.
Macarena Club
La Macarena is Barcelona's underground gem - a diminutive, subterranean, rough-around-the-edges sweatbox of a club. When things get overexcited here, you might end ups standing on the DJ's toes - the main booth is in
the middle of a very small dancefloor. Don't be put off though, as the atmosphere is outstanding, and the music - underground house and techno with pumping bass- habitually send the crowd into a writhing frenzy. With residencies fro the best local talent (DJ Herr, for example) and frequent guests from the international elite.
Moog
A tiny club with a big reputation, Moog is respected locally and internationally. Its stature on the scene surpasses that of maby of its larger rivals. It's an elegantly designed club in swathes of wood and iron - the elongated downstairs space a graceful wooden bar and culminates in a sunken dancefloor lined with cabinets full of spirit bottles. Expect a selection of electronic delights, mainly in the house techno direction, In the samller mirrored room upstairs an sometimes incongruent selection of pop is provided for the less tech-obsessed crowd.
