Tablao Nervión
For very tourist-oriented flamenco, this place has unbeatable offers. Come along to the second show at midnight and the only obligation is to have a drink for €6. If you come at 11pm, you pay €12 for the show and a drink (beer or sangría). Or you can do the whole dinner and show thing from 10pm. This place believes in participation, so you can organise stag and hen’s nights where you, too, can have a twirl with the dancers.

Concert de Carilló
Some 5000kg of bronze in 49 bells (a carillon) swings into action for monthly ‘concerts’ in the seat of the Catalan government, allowing spectators a rare chance to get inside. In the pretty Gothic Pati dels Tarongers, an internal terrace lined with orange trees at the heart of the building, the audience is treated to a midday performance of just about anything, from classical through bossa nova, all with bells on. There are no reservations.

Palau Robert
Once a month concerts are held in the peaceful gardens at the back of this fine building or its main hall. Concerts are usually held around 8pm on a Wednesday. You need to pick up a pass the afternoon before (between 5pm and 7pm) or on the morning of the performance (from 10am to noon), as places are limited.

Teatreneu
This lively theatre (with a bustling, rambling downstairs bar facing the street) dares to fool around with all sorts of material, from monologues to social comedy. Aside from the main theatre, two cafe-style spaces serve as more intimate stage settings for small-scale productions. Films are also shown.

Teatre Llantiol
At this curious place in El Raval all sorts of odd stuff, from concerts and ballads to magic shows, is staged. On Saturday nights at 12.30am there is a regular cabaret-variety slot, a bit of a throwback to another era. About once a month you can see stand-up comedy in English here too.

Fundació Mas i Mas
Long a point of pilgrimage for Barcelonin drinkers and shut down in 2007 for breaking noise regulations, this place has been recycled as a respectable spot for short, intense half-hour sessions of chamber music played every hour.

Teatre Victòria
This modern (and, on the street, rather nondescript-looking) theatre is on what used to be considered Barcelona’s version of Broadway. It often stages ballet (including the Bolshoi in 2010), contemporary dance and even flamenco.

Teatre Principal
There has been a theatre on this spot since the 16th century. Renovated in 2006, the theatre tends to concentrate on local productions of West End musicals. It also serves occasionally as a live concert stage too.

El Upsetter
The Upsetter has a decent nightly flamenco show from 10pm to midnight only, and doubles as a dreadlock-swinging reggae bar for the rest of the week.
