I visited Mephisto for an "off Sonar" event, so the music I saw was quite a bit different than what is normally played here. The sound was not perfect, but the space is large and roomy with plenty of space to dance. The staff here were very attentive -- perhaps too attentive, I felt like the audience was watched closely all night. Drinks were a little expensive, but not as bad as other venues in Barcelona, and the lines at the bar were short due to having several bartenders. It is nice to have areas with seating, but I wish these were within view of the stage. One strange thing was that the water to the restrooms was turned off before the show was over, so the restrooms became quite filthy within the last two hours of the show. I liked the crowd here. I'm not sure it would be the same on other nights, but it felt like there were less tourists as well as less people just looking for a 'party'. (People dancing a lot, interested in the music, and no one looked way too drunk). read more
