Jamboree (Barcelona) - Spain

Far from being one of my fave clubbing places, last saturday night I ended up in this centric club in Barcelona. I had an acquaintance working there and a friend of mine wanted to go...so we went there and OMG!! The club is located in Plaça Reial, a square next to the famous “Ramblas” in Barcelona, very crowded always by mostly tourists, but...

The first impression of the club is not bad, around 2.30 AM there was a long line at the door and this fact use to be a good signal, that means that is crowdy inside. Once inside the club, the local seems pretty acceptable, building arcs and stone walls with an adequate lighting in two floors not too large.

The music is different than the played in other clubs, no House Music, neither Dance Music. DJs play hip-hop, reaggae, soul or funk. Maybe in the floor upstairs you can find dance music, but also pop, rock and one thousand of different styles.

Despite of the music (as I said, it’s not my fave one to clubbing), I have to say that you can find really reeeaaally good dancers. However, those dancers are a minority, most of the people is or maybe gets (or just seems) really horney, so you can see dances and moves you’ve never seen before. And when I saw this girl performing as she was fucking a loudspeaker..OMG!! If you are staying until the end you will be able to see very wasted people and “couples” making out. It was a big show for me but I wasn’t disappointed at all, really funny to see...

About the dressing code... I can’t define one... from rap outfits to fancy clothes... You always can find someone that got lost having no idea about this club and ended up there (like me). Plus, as I said the club is located in one of the most touristic places in Barcelona so YESSS, there is a lot of international people.

Another important information is the price to enter, it’s 10€ without a drink but, like in almost all night clubs in Barcelona, there are many guest-lists from different PRs really easy to access.

In short, Jamboree is your club if you love this kind of urban dancing or simply, you don’t wanna try too hard to pick up someone.. Otherwise, find another club...that’s what i would do!! ;)

Urban Beach Club (Lisbon) - Portugal

Now that I’m living in Lisbon what can I say? The nightlife is cheaper than other cities in western Europe. You can have dinner wherever for less than 10€ and afterwards having a few drinks before going to party for less than 2€ each for beers and 4€ cocktails. Distances are quite short, you can go by walk to almost everywhere but be careful, if you are a girl and you want to wear hills, portuguese oldtown’s paving will be your worst enemy.So, time to party. There are too many options but right now the most popular clubs in the city are Urban and Lux. Let’s talk about Urban.

The location of the club, just in front of the river (Tajo), is perfect and the views are pretty awesome. The club has many VIP areas with beautiful views to the river, and in the middle of these VIP areas there is the dancefloor, in my opinion large enough. The decoration style is like most of all current popular clubs, modern and minimalist.

The admissions policy tries to be strict, especially at the weekend, but I can say that it is not. You can find really stylish people but also guys wearing t-shirts. The average of ages depends on the day, on school nights people is younger (college parties) and at the weekend you can see people in their twenties but also in their thirties.

The price to enter is 12€ what includes 2 drinks. They also give you a card where every time that you drink, the price is charged to that card and then you will pay for what you have drank at the exit. Drinks are 6€ so I think it’s quite cheap. Having a bottle in the VIP area is only 60€, the inconvenient is that you don’t feel like “exclusive” by having the bottle and your own private space with your friends, They don’t give you individual soft drinks in glass bottles, they just give you a plastic big size bottle of soft drink what in my opinion it’s really stingy.And what about plastic glasses? I’ve seen it’s very common in Lisbon but i’m more likely real glasses. Maybe it’s because is cheaper or perhaps just because in Portugal is allowed drinking on the street.

About the people that use to go to Urban, most of them are home people but you also can see somebody from abroad (like me). But don’t worry, usually the target is well-educated people so they use to speak English fluently and even some Spanish. The music it’s not their best, DJ plays today's commercial themes but they also plays old songs which aren’t themes to dance to.

Summing up the, the location and the local style are really good and prices and people pretty much too, however the music and service details are far from being as perfect as they could. Anyway, if your are living in Lisbon or just visiting the city you should go to Urban, at least the views worth seeing!! Tweet Follow @zorysss

Feliz Club Bar Lounge (Bergen) - Norway

After one year living in Bergen and going out pretty often I can say that Feliz is my fave club on Thursdays and Saturdays nights. The target of the club is around 80% home people and 20% foreign students. Good appearance, stylish and in their twenties. Feliz has a strict admissions policy and Norwegian doormen don’t negotiate, so don’t try to beg.

The club is located in the city center close to the other clubs. The inside of the club is not really big. Once you get inside you have to walk downstairs and there you have the bathroom and the wardrobe. Before getting into the lounge you must leave your coat, jacket and warm clothes in the wardrobe because the bouncer won’t let you get in with them. 
When finally you enter, there is the dancefloor, a large bar on the left side and a sitting area on the right one. There is a VIP area with another bar at the end of the club but sometimes it’s opened to everyone. I always forget there is a smaller lounge next to the entrance, but it hasn't a dancefloor but just a bar and a sitting area.

The music is quite good, the DJ plays House music all night long (well, until 2.30 AM) but sometimes he plays some old electronic theme between the House ones and Norwegians get excited dancing crazier than ever.

You don’t have to pay to enter, it’s free, but drinks are really expensive, a beer costs from kr.54 to kr.64 (6.5€ - 8.5€).
About socializing, although Norwegian people use to be very polite, they also drink a lot at night, so you can find your Norwegian best friend for a night, end up with one of them that night or simply haven’t talked to any of them if they are not in the mood. But anyway, you don’t need to talk Norwegian, all of them are able to speak English and usually really well.

In conclusion, Feliz will be your club if you are a student in Bergen or you are just spending a few days in the city, and It will be your paradise if you love blond good-looking people in fancy clothes!! ;)

Opium Mar (Barcelona) - Spain

If you are just visiting Barcelona and you want to party, you should definitely go to Opium Mar. It’s the most international club in Barcelona and it’s superbly located.

It’s a fashionable and elegant club. It has a large dancefloor divided in two, surrounded by many VIP areas, and with many exits to a large terrace just in front of the beach.  


The club has really good acoustics and its resident DJs Frank Caro & Danny Cardenas create magic on the dancefloor playing today’s best house music themes. Besides, this club has hosted some of the best international DJs such as David Guetta and Avicii.


Beautiful and fancy people creates Opium’s nights. Don’t imagine Opium as one of that typical beach clubs because of its location. A strict admissions policy makes this club one of the most exclusive ones of this city.


The price to enter is high compared to other clubs in the city, 20€ including one drink. There are also guest-lists from many PRs really easy to access but they don’t guarantee your entry. Drinks are also expensive, between 11€ and 15€.


If you want to socialize English language is a must, most of the guests are foreign people visiting the city for business or pleasure.


Every time I have someone visiting me in Barcelona, Opium Mar is my night choice and I must say that this always has been a good decision. The beach, the place, the music and the people make Opium Mar one of the best choices to have a perfect night in the Condal City.
