About this place El Cangrejo Eixample

El Cangrejo Eixample is a gay bar and club on Carrer de Villarroel, in the Gaixample area where most of Barcelona's gay nightlife sits. It carries the El Cangrejo name, best known from the long-running Raval club, and plays to the same formula: Spanish pop, Latin dance hits and singalong classics rather than techno. It is a late-night venue; expect it to fill after midnight, particularly at weekends. Opening nights and hours are not listed here, so check the programme before heading over.

Great vibe, the music was perfect for dancing, the service was good and the bartenders were very friendly, and the decor was lovely. Highly recommended.

I used to like it more. The last few times I've been there were a lot of older people and hen parties... Being a gay bar, I think they should be more selective about who gets in... It used to be one of my favorite places in Barcelona.
