Barcelona's naughty side

As you have probably already noticed, we've left gay flair bars out of our listing. The thing is, it is suddenly trendy among heterosexuals to flock en masse to a gay bar "because they play disco music there". Inevitably, the place soon turns into a straight bar and homosexuals who can't walk into their own joint any more must escape elsewhere, keeping their fingers crossed that heteros won't ever find out about this one. So as to stop contributing to the "closed for a change in business orientation" deal, if you like a mixed crowd head to Schilling, at 23 Ferrán Street. In any case, if all you want is a no-nonsense dry martini, we recommend Ideal, at 89 Aribau Street.
