Partying the whole night long just beginning the week might sounds quite irreverent, but it happens in.
And now that nasty Mondays are not free a new sprout has grown from his brother in arms, the crappy Tuesdays! More indie and Electro Pop though but still filthy.
Apolo is in the tiny and fragile border that separates mainstream clubs from the underground indie scenery, but still not that spoiled though.
Its one of the last icons alive in downtown Barcelona where you can ride undaunted music sessions, now that authorities consider a gambling den or lousy jointevery place where you can enjoy a sip of authentic bohemian mood.
Behold… the bar prices are not that indie though. Hence its better to go to one of those bars in the Gothic Quarter offering a happy hour until 22:00, stuff yourself with mojitos and then start marching in single file to Apolo around 23:30.
Try to be there before 00:00, because afterwards the line would go around the block.
Whoever wants to escape from the main room psychedelic Dance-Rock sessions: there is an alternative at La [2] de Apolo: electro & Fidget House with a Hip Hop flavor.
There’s the Canibal sound system on Wednesdays, Powder room on Thursdays, The Nitsa club everyday Friday and Saturday… and if a burlesque experience is what you are looking for: go to Taboo at 22:00 some Thursdays and Sundays (check schedule).

Went here last Monday after a few caiprihinas in a lovely little place on c/de Blai. As suggested it was a very good Monday night. Entrance was €15 with a drink rather than the €10 without a flyer. What seemed like an expensive club night (we had forgotten about free entry with a flyer and were coming from Poble Sec anyway) turned out to be totally worth it for the great music till the small hours.
Will definately be heading back again when I’m a local myself later in the year.
