Nostalgic nights at Club Cigale

Around new year 2009, Anke and Rodrigo (owners of the bar Poblenou), started a new club for 26 plussers in the ‘barrio puerto’.  Every week Club Cigale wants to surprise you with a special theme. On ‘French nights’ waiters and waitresses perform can can and dance to French songs with Alejandro Cid, also known as the Venus del Puerto. On Italian nights, the place is transformed in a nostalgic Italian scene. In between and after the acts the music is popy and light. Rodrigo is an architect and did an excellent job on preserving the building and its original structure and character. If you are an architecture fan, then check out the bathrooms upstairs: they are a showcase of contemporary design fusing with ancient structures. On 6 and 7 February, Club Cigale is in a french mood again with ‘Souvenirs de Paris’. Shows are performed at 1am and 3am.
