Boulevard

La Rambla & Barri Gòtic


Boulevard is flanked by striptease bars (in the spirit of the lower Rambla’s old days), and has undergone countless reincarnations. With three different dance spaces, one of them upstairs, it has a deliciously tacky feel, pumping out anything from 1980s hits to house music (especially on Saturdays in the main room). There’s no particular dress code.
