Dietrich Barcelona

Carrer del Consell de Cent, 255

What is it?

Once Dietrich cafe was the most popular gay bar in Barcelona. Now it's less busy then before. The bar is large with a dancefloor in the back. Sometimes gogo dancers are dancing up the stages (not shirtless). Bottle of beer is 5 euro. A large part of the bar is smoke free.

Dietrich is a dark bar that is actually well designed and had/has the potential for being a really nice place. It's actually quite a large space as far as bars go.

It is reminiscent of Woody's in Toronto or JRs in Washington, DC. It has exposed brick, red lit paintings and artwork (of famous actors) on the walls, a central bar, and plenty of seating in the rear, with a small stage. There is an inner outdoor area (more like a court) with lighted trees for accent... a nice touch. All in all, it's a nice space.

However, there is no one there! It seems as though the fire has gone from the place and that it's best days have passed... at least, that's what the bartenders there say. I heard that most of the crowd has moved on to other bars, and other cities (such as Prague). That's a shame because like Woody's and JRs, or even The Abbey in West Hollywood, Dietrich feels like a neighborhood bar that would be supported by the community due to its location and style. I hope it turns around.

The music played is of a disco type. It was actually pretty good, but there was no dancing, and certainly nothing more entertaining going on. It was filled with tourists who just wanted to sit and chat, but not mix and meet.

The drinks were not particularly expensive and the bartenders seemed to know what they were doing (not a guarantee these days), so Dietrich is good for a quick cocktail and as a meeting place for planning which OTHER bars you are going to. Don't forget to get passes to other clubs, such as Metro or D-Boy.

very good atmosphere mainly young crowded and tourists.It was a good traditional dance show when i was there but recommend to find also different places so it could be boring all night long.

We went on a Thursday evening - no entracne fee, but beer was almost twide the price of Punto. The bar has a legendary painting of Marlene D looking saggy and jaded, and this just about sums up the place. No atmosphere, samy go-go boys - go for a look, but don't plan the evening round it.

Best and most trendy bar in town. You can take your straight friends to this place. Barstaff friendly and speak English. Thu-Sat no free entrance anymore. So no locals in the weekend only tourist. Shows are very Spanish and " gidi ". Camp! You've got to be there!!
