    Drag show starting at 23:30 sharp till 1ish. Apparently limited seats, show up a bit early. EUR 3 if you wanna stay for the show. The artists defined themselves as cross dresses (transformistas) rather than drag queens. Very old school drag show vibe tho. No deaddrops or Britney lipsyncs, but for sure a good laugh! Prepare to be roasted -they were hilarious. Show is in Spanish.

    Quite cozy, simple bar with old school drag performances. Definitely not a spot to go if you're looking for a high energy music and dancing sort of night, but good for a casual drink.

    (Translated by Google) Emblematic place of the nights of Barcelona. It remains the same as 30 years ago when I first went. The transformism show is great, very funny that moves you to the age of belle epoque. Then, when the music starts playing and you hear songs from the eighties, all danceable, with chorus, you become loko. Too bad the place is so small. But once in a lifetime he has to go. I already have a few ... (Original) Lugar emblematico de las noches de Barcelona. Sigue igual q hace 30 años cuando fui por primera vez. El espectaculo de transformismo es genial, muy divertido q te traslada a la edad del belle epoque. Luego, cuando empieza a sonar la musica y oyes canciones de los ochenta, todas bailables, con estribillo, te vuelves loko. Lastima q el local sea tan pequeño. Pero una vez en la vida se ha de ir. Yo ya llevo unas cuantas...

    (Translated by Google) We had a great time at this place. The great songs of all ages and the spacious site with a good atmosphere. there would be a lack of hygiene in the bathrooms so that everything was perfect. Very good service and great atmosphere :) (Original) Nos lo hemos pasado de cine en este lugar.

    Cool interior and a good drag show - the only issue is that it is in Spanish so we couldn’t understand a single word 😂 we still enjoyed the performances and atmosphere and the old school vibe

  • 5/5 Ivan G. 1 year ago on Google

    If you are a foreigner and you do not understand Spanish avoid this place, they will make sure to make you understand this, especially during the drag show, unfortunately

  • 1/5 Paula 1 year ago on Google
    Expensive drinks. They hire horrible people that make shows with jokes against people of color, different bodies and classes. If you are a ressentful boomer be welcome, they have many straight people in a place that should be safe for queer people.
