Enjoy Your Thursday

Tomorrow is the final day of classes and I'm sure there are plenty of people already celebrating. Maybe even me... As I browsed through one of my favorite websites Do512, something caught my attention. Everyone knows that Thursday nights on Sixth Street are college nights which means one thing: amazing drink specials. Barcelona, a favorite club of mine, partakes in this thirst quenching phenomenon. The first time you go to Barcelona, you realize it is an oasis among the clutter of bars, many of which are seemingly identical (to a seasoned Sixth St. go-er, this is probably debatable). Tiny but unmistakable, the entrance to the club leads down a flight of stars into a well dressed bunker. The first thing you see is the DJ, the person responsible for the beats reverberating through the concrete walls and pouring into your ears. Further into the club are gauzy sheets hiding seating areas and on either side of the small club are plush booths, where I've seen groups enjoying a hookah. To your left, there is bar and this is the place to be because there are $2 wells and $3 Jaeger on Thursday nights. That's a price that you have to be careful of. The decor is very urban, with artwork on the brick walls but overall, the club is hip in an unpretentious way. I've seen young professionals dancing to dub reggae in their white collars, girls dressed to the nines in spike heels, and dreadlocked hippie types among others. Tonight is dance and hip-hop night, and promises a good time.
