I expected more from an iconic gay club - not great venue-. I did have fun with my girls though.
A disco with high and low characteristics. The music, sometimes is great, surprising, with a mix of everything. But there are days where a playlist of dying dreams.
About people, there is everything. The spaces are not new. There is a filthy dark room. The bar staff are very attentive and friendly. Unfortunately there is no way to compare it with the nightclubs in Madrid, which are visibly better. I would say that, it is a disco where you have to count a lot with luck.
Staff is rude. And both my wallet as the wallet of my partner where stolen in this club. Credit card was abused within the hour. Staff did nothing to help out. Just lifted their shoulders and didn't care. DON'T GO HERE IF YOU ARE A TOURIST.
If u are a stranger and something happens, this is the reply: "aquì, se habla espaNol". It might happen also to be turfed out because they do not understand what you are saying
Very bad treatment of the international arrivals - we spent good time to explain to the security the issue with being barred from the club which oscillated around how some groups of Spanish girls treated us there. As for some place where LGBT should be acceptable whenever got to talk English is said to be not acceptable plus how they treat people in favor speaking in Spanish and Catalan! Additionally we ask for the manager of the club who was never available. on request one an incident happened! Please AVOID by all cost.
Nice place, where you can have fun and enjoy the life
In 2016 there are still some clubs which doesn't take credit card Welcome two middle age No wonder why there is a big crisis in this country
Arena club is actually four different spaces two of them on Balmes (Madre and Classic) and two on Gran Via (Dandy and VIP). It's very popular amongst locals and tourists, although crowd tend to be -25. Music isn't bad but it could better. Remember not to go clubbing any earlier than 1.30am or it'll be empty. If you're in Barcelona, have a look around ;)
