Karma

La Rambla & Barri Gòtic


A golden Barcelona oldie, tunnel-shaped Karma is small and gets quite tightly packed (claustrophobic for some) with a good-natured crowd of locals and out-of-towners. During the week there's mainstream indie music (and metal on Tuesdays), while on weekends DJs spin everything from rock to disco. The terrace bar on the Plaça Reial opens 11.30am until at least 1am daily.
