Going out for a drink and a dance

After dinner, there's no end of things to do. It all depends on how energetic you're feeling. Are you looking for ideas? If you're a beer lover, you'll find specialist places where you can discover new flavours. Do you fancy a drink or a cocktail? Barcelona is on its way to becoming the world's cocktail capital and has some of the most famous cocktail bars on the planet. Many of them are located on the roof terraces and in the lobbies of hotels. And if dancing is more your thing, Barcelona's nightlife has conventional discotheques, some of them staging concerts, underground clubs and glamourous, fashionable night spots where you can dance until the sun comes up.
