Archive for November, 2009
Happy Thanksgiving 2009! The US Thanksgiving day is celebrated every year on the third Thursday of November, so this year it is at Thursday the 26th of November. If you are interested in celebrating Thanksgiving in Barcelona, then the best way to do it is trough the American Society or in American bars like the Hard Rock Cafe .
Barcelona has a lot to offer at this time of the year. The old buildings, narrow streets of the old town and the friendly atmosphere make it a great winter destination. The cities many squares are beautifully lit and filled with varios markets.
Do you like skate, surf or snowboard and rock, pop, indie, garage, 80´s and electronic music? Well, then Mondays and Tuesdays are your days in Club Apolo!
Club Apolo is one of the most hip nightlife spots in Barcelona and has a 25 year old history. It’s open almost every day from Monday to Sunday and depending on which day you go, there are different styles of music.
Today Apolo serves as a concert hall as well as a dance club, and one year ago they opened an adjacent club Sala 2. The total capacity is more than 1000 people, and some of the most interesting concerts in Barcelona are taking place at this location.
The biggest parties are called NASTY MONDAYS, with Dj MadMax and Sören , and CRAPPY TUESDAYS. At Sala 2 you can hear New Electro and Fidget House witch a touch of Hip-Hop put on by DJ Kosmos and DJ Dr. Cartagena.
Sounds good? Then we’ll maybe see each other next week at Nou De La Rambla 113, 08004 Barcelona near the metro station “Parallel” (L2/L3). Entrance is about 10-15 €.
Coming Friday, the 13th of November 2009, the World March finally reaches Barcelona and so of course it is time for a party!

Ever wanted to go to a modern Jamaican restaurant/lounge?
Stush & Teng, in the “Carrer del Rosselló” near the metro station “Diagonal”, is a place to enjoy a great relaxed Caribbean atmosphere in a big and hectically city like Barcelona.
And the best thing is, that you can go there no just at night. In the morning they offer a tasty breakfast with a great choice of coffees from different countries. At midday you can buy a menu with “empanadas”, dumplings and chicken. But the real session starts at 9 pm with flavoures and wines from all over the world accompanied by Reggae music.
Cocktails, like the self created “Stush & Teng”, are the main focus´ later at night before the location close their doors at about 2 o´clock.
A few words to the interior. It´s made out of base material which doesn´t harm the environment in the process of manufacturing. Due to the change of lights and light-effects you´ve got the feeling that the adjustment of the furniture changes. But this may also be an effect of the rooms´ decoration. The walls and the ceiling exist out of boards with irregular big holes and geometry. These holes again create a snatchy design. Incredible!
See you the next time in Stush & Teng!
