    Good place if you enjoy funk/groove music but definitely would not call this a night club. More of a late evening lounge place, where people ‘dance’ (depends on how you define dancing - if moving both feet barely on same rhythm then yes) We left after only 2h, bored and barely danced. Such a disappointment. 12€ entrance for 2 drinks (chupito or beer) super expensive - would not go there again

    Very good place to go out on Wednesdays. A great atmosphere is generated with the musicians who perform live. €7 entry includes a drink that can be beer or a shot.

    Really cool spot for a funk soul night, lots of live music regularly, Hip-Hop nights and live bands. The AC and ventilation is not bad. inside 2 bars one near the entrance and one in the end.

    Really expensive for what you get. EUR 15 entry, EUR 6 a beer. Friday night and place had about 30 people (1/3 full). No seating at all if you just want to kick back and enjoy the music. But the band (and frontman) were really great.

    We ended up here by a coincidence, and I am sooo glad we did 🤩 We had the most fun night, the live music was amazing, it was impossible not to dance and smile our night away 😃

    This places turn into a dance club after midnight with DJ. Cool funky music , not one of those mainstream international club. However you will still meet some international people. Second time I went was on a weekday. Less crowd but is that why they don’t open the coat check ? Where the heck am I suppose to put my winter jacket.. end up hanging it on the side of the dance floor on the handrail like everyone else does; and it clearly had a good beer shower that night ..

    Holly sh***, it was so much fun! We were there until 5 or 6, I don´t remeber, but it was good music and it sure was a great time! Prizes inside tend to expensive, but you are in a place that is closed and can go all night (unless there is a care few). Due to covid, there is a secuity guard letting people in, only when people leave, so you might take a while on the line...

    (Translated by Google) From time to time they do sessions with 70-80s music with disco / funk music very danceable. The atmosphere is young and cool. The prices are like those of any disc. The ticket is worth about € 10 euros. Nearby there is a square where there are paquis to beers € 1. (Original) De vez en cuando hacen sesiones con música años 70-80 con música disco/funk muy bailable. El ambiente es joven y mola. Los precios son como los de cualquier disco. La entrada vale unos 10€ euros. Cerca hay una plaza donde hay paquis a birras un 1€.

    Funk Jam on Sunday should not be missed as the house band is #1 (when they play funk).

    If I could give it 0 stars, I would. I left twice to smoke, twice left my non-alcoholic beers with a friend and twice the waiters removed it (alcoholic beverages remained on the table). The first time, I did not noticed my beer was gone and because the labels between 0% alcoholic beers and normal beers are almost the same, I had a gulp of someone else beer from my group. Thus ending months long sober living for me. The second time the waiter removed my drink, I just left. Very disappointed.

    Amazing local musicians’ jam night on a Wednesday. Definitely coming back here for this! Entrance fee is converted into a drink ticket, so don’t be scared.

  • 5/5 Aidan D. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic night and definitely coming back. Went on a Thursday night and different artists and band members played a cool jam session. The entrance fee is 7€ and it includes a drink at the bar (beer). The place is big enough but gets crowded fast. I highly recommend this place if you are in the mood for a different vibe than going out clubbing, since this place offers a different mood than clubs and is full of nice people and some good dancers. FYI, on the day I came there was no place to leave coats/jackets so be prepared to hold them in your hand or leave them at home.

    This place hosts music jam sessions for free. Its amazing to be there and watch artists perform live without any rehearsal. The music is great and the vibes are awesome. This is one of the best night events we have been to in Barcelona free of charge!

    Pretty nice place with funky music (mainly). It also offers live music some days. A nice place to go before or after 3am when the normal bars close in Barcelona

    (Translated by Google) My favorite place for a Saturday night party. The employees have always had a great treatment and the drinks, although somewhat expensive (as in any similar place in Barcelona), are worth it. Music with a great style, to dance and forget about the outside world! (Original) Mi sitio preferido para fiesta de sábado noche. Los empleados siempre han tenido un trato genial y las bebidas aunque algo caras (como en cualquier sitio similar en barcelona), merecen la pena. Música con un estilo genial, para bailar y olvidarte del mundo exterior!

    Great place, great music. But unfortunately me and my cousin were treated with SO MUCH disrespect by a blond barman, he treated us like garbage, we almost went away because of this ONE person that works there. Never been so mistreated in Barcelona. Thanks god the security guy was the best and saved the night.

  • 3/5 George P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great music, but something has to be done about the stale air. Air Extraction is recommended

  • 3/5 Stefano Lisi (. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice concept: 10 euro entrance including a drink. Although the place inside is very narrow, crowded and the music was jumping continuously in between genres.

  • 5/5 Danny 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to hang out with friends, friendly staff, good music, and some amazing live performances too. I'd definitely recommend it to a friend

  • 3/5 James Lahiffe B. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing music, we really enjoyed ourselves. However we went with every intention of drinking alcohol however the shock of having to pay 7euros for a bottled beer was too much. It's silly because we would have probably spent alot on drinks if the price was more like 3/4 euro a bottle. No wonder no one was drinking.

    Amazing spot for retro and jazz live concerts and dj sets! The musicians do a lot of improv and there’s a lot of space to dance, plus it’s free on wednesdays before 11pm.

  • 5/5 Julien Q. 1 year ago on Google
    What a club! I mean the drinks are good, the atmosphere is buzzing, the music makes you want to dance. Absolutely brilliant mix of music. Bit Latin, electronic and salsa it’s nice. Really recommend for a night out.

  • 4/5 Mirko N. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best easy-going dancing place. Simple but great music. A little bit too touristic during holiday times.

  • 4/5 Gianfranco M. 11 months ago on Google
    Good experience in the historic centre of the city. Unfortunately the view of the stage is not the best one, you can enjoy the live music moving around though. During my experience the music was awesome 👍

  • 4/5 Jessica R. 11 months ago on Google
    This place has great vibes and music, and the crowd is in the mature range. Drinks are ok, your typical bar rail. No cover. Not bad for a Friday night

  • 4/5 Juan Ignacio V. 11 months ago on Google
    Wednesday's live jam sessions are off the hook. Just go and experience it. Hands down the best plan you can come up with in BCN on a Wednesday. Make sure you get there early and find a good view in front of the stage.

  • 5/5 Iván A. 3 years ago on Google
    Afro beat, R & B, Funk, classic dance 70's-80's hits... Really good place... good vibes!!! One of my favourites places to go out in Barcelona

  • 4/5 Al J. 10 months ago on Google
    Saw Ron Sexsmith is this perfecto intimate venue. The sound was good, sight lines are a little tricky with some pillars but otherwise brilliant spot. Good door and bar staff too!

  • 5/5 Katerina K. 4 years ago on Google
    Typical Barcelona club with different kinds of live music. Not very expensive.

  • 2/5 Emmanouil Z. 4 months ago on Google
    It was a fun night... For 5 minutes when the dj played super freak otherwise funky jazz, disco but not the commercial one just the unknown ones if this place would play disco it would be the place to be for me in town. Hit and miss unfortunately. Great big enough place, great service and good air conditioning not too hot at least in the winter.

  • 5/5 Sofia D. 4 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Kuba J. 7 years ago on Google
    Music! A music here has that something to ignite a party. I have been here twice already in different times of a year and each time we had a first class dancing night. Obviously you can get drinks and cocktails here ;)

    (Translated by Google) The site is fine, the bar, right, the super cool concert !! The drawback I have seen is that there was not a place to sit ... For what kind of concerts, tables and chairs would go well (so that they do not occupy a place, they could use these that fold) There are a lot of people I had to say the same thing ... Not a single chair or a bench or stool ... There were children and older ... At least put some and if not used, leave them in a corner ... (Original) El sitio está bien, el bar, correcto, el concierto super chulooo!! El inconveniente que he visto es que no había ni un sitio para sentarse...Para según qué tipo de conciertos, irían bien unas mesas y sillas (para que no ocupen sitio ,podrían utilizar de estas que se pliegan) Hay mucha de la gente que había que decía lo mismo....N una sola silla ni un banco ni taburete... Habían niñ@s y mayores ... Al menos poner alguna y si no se usan, dejarlas en un rincón...
