This place sucked so bad last night. Terrible house music and trashy crowd that never quite picked up. It nearly ruined our trip.

Cover is $18. Pshhhhhhhh yeah right. Girls, just look at the bouncer when he says that, roll your eyes, and walk away. They will chase after you and let you in for free.

Then... you will walk in... take a whiff, smell nothing but a mixture of throw up, body odor, and S@!T.. and you will walk straight out.

Barcelona is lacking one word: VENTILATION. Actually two words: DEODORANT!

GARBAGE!! If Yelp would allow me to give one review of a NEGATIVE 5 STARS -- I would give Basuralona Ultra Lounge just that. First, I was told that Vancouver has a bad club scene, NOT a bad bar scene, a bad CLUB scene. I was told to have low expectations. Knowing someone such as myself I wanted to give this city a chance. Well, after that night I held NO expectations for Vancouver's club scene... more

Always enjoy going to Barcelona.

In any time I've gone I've had guestlist which got me and my friends free cover. Pretty big place which includes 2 bars making getting drinks easier once it gets busy. Drink prices are pretty standard ($6 beer, $8 shots). If you plan on catching the last skytrain at 1am however this place early. Its at least a 10-15 minute walk to the Granville Skytrain Station... more

It's a club on Granville - surprisingly not as douchey as I expected. Pretty clean and well-ventilated and not that crowded on a Saturday night and crowd was generally amicable.

- $18 cover - yuck. I would never pay $18 to enter a club in Vancouver - but I was plied with free cover. Seriously - do I need to pay you $18 for the honour of dropping a couple hundred at your bar?
- line to get in... more

definitely a mixed review here...

Barcelona was the last stop after a night of long lines which didn't seem to move.
They did not have a line when we showed up around 11pm....

So, the good:

1. Great music - mix of house, hip-hop, and old-school
2. Friendly bar staff
3. Quick service at the multiple bars

Sketchy:

1. The auto 20% gratuity on my bar tab and the fact that they have a "tip"... more

Barcelona has turned into my favourite club in Vancouver on a Friday night. Resident DJ Remsta is one of the city's best and consistent DJs, and he always knows how to make the crowd move.

The washrooms aren't a total mess like some clubs in Vancouver, there's 2 decent sized bars to handle the crowd, and the workers aren't uptight about sitting in reserved VIP seating.

It's one of the few... more

Cover is $18 and coat check is $4. A typical, average size club in Vancouver. There's 2 bars so it doesn't get too crowded and you'll still be able to get a drink in a timely manner.

The dance floor is not that big, but Barcelona is well ventilated so you don't feel like you're dancing in a sauna. The decor is modern with a little glam. The music was R&B and hip hop.

Cover is on the higher end, and lines are on the longer size on the weekends.
Most of the staff is pretty cool and chill.
Thursdays should be a good night this summer, "Dance Mix '95" - $10 cover and $3.95 high-balls.
Crowd is a wide mix but seem to be dressed less trashy than most Granville clubs.

This club was a total disappointment. I came to Vancouver for an overnight trip with my girlfriends. I don't know how she came up with it but off we went.

First, we had to pay something like $15-17 cover. It came with a drink ticket but I still thought this was ridiculous. If they aren't charging cover in Seattle or Vegas (if you're in at a certain time, on a guestlist etc), I don't expect to... more

I've never been to Barcelona on the weekend (and I honestly don't plan on it) but I will give one great reason for this club - FIRST LOVE WEDNESDAYS.

Best weeknight out. The crowd is definitely a dancer crowd - people actually know how to get their dance on, and I'm talking hip hop, pop and lock, etc. You can wear Chucks to a club because really, it's all about the dancing. Highballs are on... more

This is a perfect example of "over-promising and under-delivering" when it comes to nightclubs. I took 2 weeks to decide on a nightclub for NYE so that I could give my husband an amazing night, I wanted to be sure to make the right choice to get a club that would be a little more elevated than normal which is why we paid the $65 per ticket price (vs $50 at all other clubs) plus the online... more

Don't let the name fool you. This is a full on club, but there are booths to sit if you are one of those types.

I was expecting majority white folk, but the crowd was a mix of all types. Everyone was well dressed, good looking, and in a good partying mood. A lot of people were throwing it down pretty h@!%!*n the dance floor. Good times. Dj Relik and Remsta were excellent.

I like the set up of... more

I will say that it was nice inside but really can't be classified as a lounge. The part that was preposterous was an $18 cover charge for a night club in Vancouver. I paid less for a nightclub in New York City.

(Preface: the mental record had started to skip by the time we made it here...)

Good: they were very fast to respond and their marketing director was quite helpful when arranging our table. But upon arrival, even with a table reservation, it took a bit of time to get in and settled and served.

Average: I'd describe this place as more club, less lounge. The atmosphere was generally good,... more

It stands out from all the other places I have been but once along the ENTERTAINMENT STRIP, ok it must be that it is just so much more grown up in a good way. I'll head back for more evenings in the future. It had a great sound system, you can get out of the line of fire and hear the person you are with.
