Liceu.
A stalwart of the
scene, this old-school studenty basement
place can get claustrophobic at times.

while a lively local crowd gathers at the

The Arab–flamenco fusion
throws up a great atmosphere, worth
braving the slightly dodgy area for. It’s a
rather kitsch, gay-friendly joint, with some
uninhibited dancing to flamenco and

by

Universitat.
At the
time of writing, the best-known casualty of
the Ajuntament’s crusade against late-
night noise, but it’s hoped that closure
isn’t permanent if they can sort out the
soundproofing. If and when it does re-
open, it’s unmissable – a fabulous 1903-
era ballroom and concert venue where old
and young alike are put through their
rumba and cha-cha-cha steps, with DJs
kicking in after midnight on an assorted
roster of club nights.
