About this place Arena Madre

Arena Madre is one of Barcelona's long-established gay clubs, known for a lively dance floor and an energetic atmosphere that keeps going all week. It pulls in a younger crowd, with DJs spinning house and handbag tracks. Beyond those regular club nights, you'll find striptease shows and go-go dancers, so there’s usually something a little extra going on. The biggest crowds hit on weekends, when the dance floor really gets going. It's a solid choice if you want to join Barcelona's gay club scene and experience one of the city's established LGBTQ+ venues, any night of the week.

Not even a Coke for my drink. Holy shit, €15 and no Coke. Vultures.

The people at the door couldn't be ruder or more unfriendly. Especially the one taking the money; if you don't give him the exact amount, he gives you a dirty look. Have they opened the darkroom? I've been asking for days if it's open, and they won't answer. Is it so hard to just say yes or no?
