Of course Sitges has a gay piano bar. I didn't doubt it for a minute, but it's not on the Street of…read moreSin. It's a bit hidden away on another alley, and the elegant door made us think we were entering a private nightclub. Unfortunately Jamie W. and I came here when they weren't featuring live entertainment. That was a month away according to the friendly, trivia-saturated bartender.
Instead he ran an endlessly enthralling video reel of classic and kitschy movie musical numbers on Showtune Sunday. Of course that meant watching Judy sing "The Trolley Song" in "Meet Me in St. Louis" followed by Liza performing "Money, Money" with Joel Grey in "Cabaret". They had a clip of Dame Judi Dench in a dirndl singing "16 (Going on 17)" from "The Sound of Music".
Oh, and of course, they showed Barbra on the tugboat with her wilted yellow flowers belting "Don't Rain on My Parade" from "Funny Girl". Yes, I know the clip is 56 years old, but I can still stand, can't I? Meanwhile, the three gay couples in the bar were sitting quietly enraptured by the video and their Chardonnay. Meanwhile we had our predictable Gin & Tonic and Tequila Sunrise for 10€ (photo: https://yelp.to/sbWjnmscYD).
DRINKS - 4 stars...lasted us for at least six numbers
AMBIANCE - 5 stars...if the video reel is ambiance, sure
SERVICE - 4 stars...friendly bartender who knows a lot about Patti Lupone
TOTAL - 4 stars...if you need to chill away from the Street of Sin and want to listen to divas
