Multi-flavored monochromatics
 
Attached to the Chic & Basic hotel, the White Bar flaunts an all-white interior that swirls like a kaleidoscope when lit by a grandiloquent ceiling lamp--and highlights all of the fashionable, beautiful people who gather here on the weekends when DJs spin soul, hip-hop and lounge rhythms.

Habe die Ehre!
 
Opened in 1900 by an Austrian family, this centrally located cafe recalls Vienna’s famous old Kaffeehäuser—wooden furniture, gilded mirrors, old wine bottles—but their café con leche is arguably the best in town. A lively crowd regularly enjoys the well-priced drinks until three in the morning.

Multi-leveled party


Right by Plaza Catalunya, on the site of the former “Theatre Barcelona,” is one of the most dependable venues in Barcelona. You’ll likely spend most of your time traversing between the two stories of club space, four bars, VIP room and outdoor area to cool down when the party gets too hot.

First Lady of Cocktails

It’s ironic that this lively Raval bar takes its namesake from the renowned treatment center for substance abuse when its wry Australian proprietor concocts lethal cocktails that were even deadlier during the 9-11 happy hour…or so the fashionistas and rockers who gather here claim, anyway.
