I've only had 'good times' @ Barcelona so I have very few complaints about the joint. There is definitely an eclectic mix of people that go there but I think that's what makes it fun. I met an Eastern European fighter, slow danced to Sinatra with the owner of a foreign auto dealership, and encountered a funny old man who must've been about 90 that somehow got on stage to shake his groove thang with the female singer. He later came to our table and after my friend complimented his dance moves, he blew in her ear and said "You know what that was? I just gave you a blow job." Whoa--LOL!
I do agree that it's strange to buy drinks in the ladies room and that some chicks seem to lounge on the couch in there, checkin out other chicks when they walked through the door. I felt like I was bein judged before a panel, whenever I passed the couch! And I haven't seen the cougars but have definitely come across my disproportionate share of the 'J. Howard Marshall' types.
All in all, the only reason I can't give this place 4 stars is b/c of the outrageous drink prices.
