Drinking and Nightlife
There are lively bars and cafes throughout the centre - in the Barri Gotic as well as the Eixample and Gracia - catering for all types and styles. One of the city's great pleasures is to pull up a pavement seat outside a bar, sip a coffee or a beer, and watch the world go by (except in the Barri Gotic's Placa Reial, where the world watches you). Alongside the regular bars and cafes, Barcelona also has a range of music and theme bars geared towards late-night drinking, and there's a disco and club nightlife that is currently one of Europe's most enjoyable. For full listings of bars and clubs, get hold of a copy of the weekly Guia del Ocio (?0.75, comes out on Thurs), or SexTienda's map of gay Barcelona with a list of bars, clubs and contacts. If you're very keen on bar-hunting, there's a user's guide called Barsalona , available from newsstands, which has an English-language section at the back, and in designer bars and clothing shops you'll also find other lifestyle magazines, such as the bimonthly Barcelona Divina (?3) as well as free, glossy magazines (including Venus, Micro and B-guide ) which, amidst the ads, contain bar and club news and reviews.
