Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Really bad Staff

...girls suggested to go in Jamboree, because they had one flyer taken in the afternoon. We went in front of the club and we stand in the queue. The American girls were after us. We finished the queue and we arrived in front of the staff. We told them we were all togheter.They asked us for the flyers and the list. We told we weren't in the list and we had only one flyer for the whole group. So they called only the girls and told to come in. After the ...
...some minutes. But soon the staff told them to go downstairs to wait us. After they went downstairs the staff told us we can't enter because we had not the flyers. What????? And so why you called OURS girls to go inside without flyers and you divided our group???? We tryed to talk with the staff, in particular with the boss of them, but they didn't change idea. So we went in La Rambla where we saw an italian girl working for Jamboree that was giving ... Read review

Advantages: A must visit chill out zone in the heart of Barcelona
Disadvantages: Its not in London

...and should have been. Guru, lounge club and cockteleria (using the Spanish word) is a wonderful, eclectic visual delight. And the drinks are great too! We literally dived into this lounge bar in the late afternoon on our first day in Barcelona (I'm afraid to say whilst I was in search of a lavatory again) and were so taken with it we kept going back. We were greeted by a member of staff and shown to a seat which was novel and rather special. We ...
...the surroundings. There is so much to catch the eye you're not sure where to turn first, it is a visual feast, and because of the excellent environment, even more so than the drink, this bar really stands out. The outside of the building (located in the Gothic quarter) is fairly non-descript and you could walk past the grey exterior and dark windows without even realising it's a bar. When you stop to get a better look you can see a huge Buddha sitting ... Read review

Advantages: Wonderful food, scenery and ambience in Barcelona
Disadvantages: More prawns!

Its very easy to find somewhere to eat in central Barcelona, there are countless tapas bars, falafel outlets, international eateries and very posh looking restaurants, but having said that one night during our recent stay we wanted something a bit different. We asked our hotel reception staff to recommend somewhere romantic but Spanish to help us celebrate our honeymoon. They suggested Ānima. Situated in the Raval district, which is on the ...
...Ānima is based a little bit away from the usual tourist beaten track. We found we usually tended to wander round the Gothic quarter for bars and restaurants so it was somewhere new for us to explore. Our hotel was based on c/ de pelai so we decided to go from there but there is an easier route detailed below. Going from there meant it was bit further to walk to but gave us the advantage of exploring this entirely different district. With trusty ... Read review

Advantages: delicious tastes, helpful staff
Disadvantages: not generous portions, quite expensive

...being prepared. MENU The Silenus menu has 4 or 5 starters, main courses and desserts. These are quite varied, some more than others and included kangaroo each time I have visited. The portions are not huge but they are artistically presented and all very flavoursome. There is also a tasting menu of 6 set dishes, two from each course, but as these included two foods which members of our party were allergic to, we didn't try this. DRINK According ...
...of Wine and they certainly had a good selection. The staff were helpful and when we explained what we wanted, they recommended a lovely full-bodied Rioja. It cost 21Euros a bottle which was below mid-price on a fairly extensive wine list with a selection of wines from around the world and a range of prices. SERVICE The restaurant was run by two staff, one male, one female, both quite young and both very helpful. We were mainly served by the girl ... Read review

Advantages: Outstanding dining experience.
Disadvantages: It will probably be years before I go back.

...determined to have dinner at Els Quatre Gats (the four cats). Barcelona does have quite an important Picasso connection, as he spent his formative years here. Els Quatre Gats was a regular hangout for him and other Barcelonian artists. This was what attracted us to this place. It is not however what I will mostly remember from it. ~Situation and history~ ************************* Halfway between las Ramblas and the Via Laietana, Els Quatre Gats ...
...need to proclaim its credentials, Els Quatre Gats doesn't feel at all elitist and as such doesn't have a dress code. The place was full, mainly with tourists, including a lot of Americans. ~Service~ *********** When we arrived, there was no table available and we were told we had to wait for up to half an hour. Not a problem, we fully expected that and were looking forward to spending this time in the bar, soaking up the atmosphere and perhaps ... Read review
