Spain
Partly for those who want to escape the tourist-pickpocket clash of Plaça Reial, mostly for those who want to change the world over a bloody mary and a game of pool and only for those who are in the know. Strictly speaking a pipe-smoking club, but really anyone who has got a friendly face can come in to this Victorian expat-style club with great views over the square and the punters ooze in charisma.
Plaça Reial 3, principal; nearest metro: Liceu
