Magic is the place to head if you've had enough of Barcelona's obsession with minimal techno and are a lover of rock music. Since opening in 1976, Magic has seen it all: counterculture, punk, new wave. From the mid-'90s up to the past decade, the club led a double life as a concert hall. Johnny Thunders, Hellacopters, the best of the world’s high-energy rock set the tiny stage on fire. Now, by city law, the venue only serves as a club, welcoming the pop-wearing into its open rocker arms. Each weekend sees fun-seekers and scallywags queueing down the street for a night of 80's pop, soft rock and disco classics. You can expect to hear everything from Madonna to Morrissey to Guns n Roses on a night out in Magic.

Music genre: rock, indie, 80's pop, disco

La Macarena is Barcelona's underground gem – a diminutive, subterranean, rough-around-the-edges sweatbox of a club. It has a very small capacity and the main booth is in the middle of a small dancefloor. Don't be put off though, as the atmosphere is outstanding, and the music – underground house and techno with pumping bass - habitually sends the crowd into a writhing frenzy. This is a great destination for quality, non-commercial music.

Music genre: Underground techno and house.
Address: Carrer Nou de Sant Francesc, 5, 08002 Barcelona, Spain
Ⓜ Liceu or Drassanes

Apolo Club is actually made up of two adjacent venues - Apolo 1 and Apolo 2. Apolo 1 is a larger space with an old theatre vibe - high ceilings, a large stage and lots of red velvet. Apolo 2 is a more modern space - darker, smaller and with a banging sound system. Before heading to Apolo it is worth considering the line-ups in the two different clubs - programmers try to ensure that the genres don't clash, ensuring that you can choose from a varied musical selection.
Apolo's music policy is one of the most forward thinking in the whole city. Both Apolo 1 and Apolo 2 are gig venues until midnight, after this the DJs hit the decks. Genres on offer span everything from hip hop to dub step to techno to burlesque, all depending on what night of the week you are there. Past DJs have included A-Trak, Skream, Gesaffelstein and Drums of Death.
