Sincopa


c/Avinyo, 35 : M Liceu L3

**** : $$$
This bar was opened by the local well known musician, Manu Chao. This quite possible explains two things about this abode. One, it is eclectic, in that it has musical instruments on the walls and ceilings (which are usuable with permission from the barstaff) and two, it's very down-to-earth bohemian! Assaulting you with a lively and loud ambience, this is a great place to go and liven up your night if you're wandering around the shady streets of the Gotico. Despite the obvious presence of drug dealers, prostitutes and other 'entrepeneurs of the night'. this area oozes with character and is in fact not as dangerous as it seems. Although I can't give any overwhelming reason to visit this bar, if you are in the city centre and fancy somewhere with a little more 'je ne sais pas', you could do worse than dropping in here. If you do pop in for a drink or three and it's 'not your cup of tea',at least you can say you've been to Manu Chao's drinking den (and you might just get a chance to see him)!
