I personally like Latin American dancing. The Latin American dancing scene is quite big in Barcelona, quite popular, because there are many South Americans living here. What I like about it is, I like the expressivity of the soul. The soul of someone comes out completely when you’re dancing—body language comes out, totally. You deliver your emotions to others, by dancing!
Antilla has a bar, but people come for the dancing.
If you get out and enjoy the discotheques around the city—well, just know the ones by the beach are very touristic!
Old Fashioned is a tiny spot in Gràcia serving up delicious drinks.
The best place for dancing is Mojito. There’s a good balance between the people, the level of dancing, the service, the kind of music. I found out about it just from Internet searching. There’s a big online community here. One big site is Udance. They teach different styles of dancing, like salsa, bachata. And they collaborate with Mojito. Another one is Dio Club. Dio, like God. That one is in Gràcia, it’s very good. Antilla is also very typical dancing, every Wednesday to Sunday night. Mojito and Dio are both Thursday nights
If you like cocktails, there’s La 9, a cocktail bar in Born. Another one that’s good is called Creps al Born. And another good one, a bit further from that place, just 100 meters, is Guzzo. They play hip hop, jazz, and funk music. It’s a very fancy place, I like it. Then, Dry Martini Cocktail Bar. Ocana. Makamaka, close to the beach, is nice. The service is quick, the price is friendly, it’s all good.
There’s another one that is very charming. It’s called Old Fashioned. It’s small—maybe 15 seats, no more. They have a huge cocktail menu, and a very professional one.
