Reasons to go
Full description
Housed in a converted theatre in Poble Sec, Sala Apolo has been a fixture of Barcelona's music scene for decades, hosting touring bands and DJs across two distinct rooms. Its most famous export is Nasty Mondays, a weekly clubbing night that turned an off night into one of the city's most reliable dance parties.
With strong sightlines from the upper balcony and a busy calendar of concerts and club nights, it draws a broad mix of gig-goers and clubbers rather than a single niche crowd. The high review volume reflects its status as a must-see stop on Barcelona's nightlife circuit.

Great organization, with plenty of bars and stands to grab drinks easily! I’ve been there a few times for concerts and never had any issues. Even my wife, who’s usually afraid of crowds, feels comfortable there. Top venue!
