Robadors 23
On what remains a classic dodgy El Raval street, where a hardy band of streetwalkers, junkies and other misfits hangs out in spite of all the work being carried out to gentrify the area, a narrow little bar has made a name for itself with its Wednesday night gigs.

Monkey Bar
With a sign touting ‘live sports and sexy bar staff’, this is one very cheeky monkey. Slightly grungy, very cool, this party hot spot has live gigs and DJs several times a week. There’s a mad rush to the bar at 4.45pm when pints are €1.50 for 15 minutes – get ’em in quick!

Jazz Sí Club
A cramped little bar run by the Taller de Músics (Musicians’ Workshop) serves as the stage for a varied program of jazz through to some good flamenco (Friday nights). Thursday night is Cuban night, Sunday is rock and the rest are devoted to jazz and/or blues sessions. It makes for a mellow start to a long night in El Raval. Concerts start around 9pm but the jam sessions can get going as early as 6.30pm.

Chez Tao
Within the citadel, Chez Tao is an institution. This super-smooth piano bar occupying a lavishly decorated vaulted room was founded in 1935 by Tao Kanbey de Kerekoff, a White Russian émigré, and it still attracts hedonistic hipsters seven decades later.

The red-tinged bowels of this club opens for live music most nights. Just about anything goes, UK indie through to country punk, but rock and pop lead the way. Most shows start at 10pm (Thursday to Saturday).

Troubadur
This corner bar looks pretty nondescript in the day, but on summer nights things get far more lively when there are live jazz concerts – often (though not always) featuring Marko, the owner, and his band.

Korova
A new, supercool bar that takes its name from the Russian for 'cow' (fans of A Clockwork Orange take note), it is a great place to drink, hang out and hear some decent live music from a range of up-and-coming bands. Very trendy, but not at all stuck up.

Despite beyond-capacity crowds, this small hash-infused bar stays pretty relaxed, with everyone getting their dose of funky music and pungent fumes.

Café Lisboa
The curved timber bar gives this place a homey appeal. When some Latin and bossa-nova sounds get thrown on, it gets even better; check out Brazil night on Wednesdays from midnight. It fills up quickly on evenings that live music is staged.

Bar Latino
This party-lovin' Latin bar swings with svelte bodies gyrating to salsa and jiving to rock 'n' roll. Zingy cocktails and Mexican food fuel the dancing.
