What makes Barbanarama stand out
Barbanarama is a bar for warming up for the evening: episodes of Drag Race play on the screens, alongside pop and Spanish hits. Guests praise the friendly service and sociable atmosphere. One guest notes that the bar works better for small groups than for solo travellers without Spanish.
A good fit if you …
- want to watch Drag Race in company
- are looking for a relaxed start to a Chueca night
Not ideal if you …
- expect a big club with a dance floor
