Bar Pastís. Fantastic, scruffy, cluttered but totally authentic bar with live music in the Raval area of Barcelona, close to La Rambla. Opened in 1947 by a French madame, the decor remains largely unchanged, so if you fancy a journey back to the Barcelona of (when the Raval was called "Barrio Chino") with a glass of pastis in your hand - (anise-flavored liqueur from France) and Piaf in the background, then visit Bar Pastis. Live music almost daily, tango sessions and more. Visit their website for programme.

Opening times:
Wednesday to Sunday 7:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m., Friday, Saturday and holidays until 3:00 a.m.
