Palau Dalmases

What a great show. Loved the venue, entertainment and energy the flamenco dancers provided. I highly recommend going to this show when in Barcelona. Awesome.

Wonderful Flamenco experience! $ 25 per person, drink included. I highly recommend to anybody visiting Barcelona. Beautiful rustic, dark lit ambiance. Near the Picasso Museum as well as many bars, restaurants and shops.

We absolutely LOVED this place! Such a fun performance. My husband was not terribly excited about going, but he was actually entertained non stop, which was a pleasant surprise for me. This was one of those experiences where you come home and try to describe to your friends and family because it was so unique and special. Only thing I’d maybe improve is having the performers perhaps engaging with the crowd a bit at first. They came out and went right to it, which I’m not mad at, I just would have loved to learn names, a few tidbits about flamenco, etc. :)

A must see! Great cozy environment and an incredible show! The dancers are very passionate about what they do and you can see it on the expressions on their faces. Because of the cozy environment, you have a very close up view of all the action.

So glad I found this flamenco place on Unilocal!Came on a Monday night a little before 6PM to buy tickets for the 730PM show but turns out there is an additional show at 6PM that is not on their website. The third option is 9:30PM. The location is very close to the Picasso Museum but across the street.
The show a great sample of flamenco with live music. The live music included a guitarist, percussionist on drums, and a vocalist — each had a chance to solo to show off their skills. There were two flamenco dancers. Both the man and woman danced with such fervor and gusto but I especially liked the man! Spanish men seem to have so much passion. His facial expressions and concentration added to his personality and performance. Bravo to every single performer!
On a side note, the Unilocal page says 20 euros for the show and drink but they changed the price to 25 euros in March 2015. still an amazing deal! You can book online for a small processing fee but when it’s very easy to stop by or just buy tickets at the door.

This was a great experience, you start by going in to this beautiful building, the attention that you receive from the people that work at Palau Dalmases is great they are friendly and very helpful.
The flamenco show was amazing, the musicians where so great and singed with so much passion that it transports you in to the story they are telling, and the dancers are simply wonderful, they dance with passion and character that overall is an excellent performance.
The experience as a whole is so worth it, for 20 euros per person one hour of show and you get a drink of choice.
Excelente espectáculo! Los músicos y bailarines dan un espectáculo lleno de pasión y energía, que te transportan a la historia que están contando. Muy recomendable.

This is a one hour show featuring a live guitar player, singer, drummer, and a male and female flamenco dancer. As I was leaving the Picasso museum earlier someone handed me a flyer for this show and my husband and I decided to check it out. Good thing we did because we enjoyed every minute of it. The band and dancers are very talented and passionate and with an audience capacity of only about 70 the show is very intimate. As the performers left the stage everyone chanted ‘uno mas!’ (one more!) and they actually came back out and performed an encore. 25 € gets you into the show and includes one drink of your choice. I highly recommend making a reservation if you plan to attend though because the show sells out.

Great, cozy and very intimate. Shows are at 19:30 and 21:30 and we just did walk in to purchase the tickets. Ticket includes one drink which was Very good. Well spend 25 euros.

The vibe in this venue is so chic and sexy. The atmosphere is so cool and has an intimate feel to it. We were here for a private show b/​c my cousin was getting married in Barcelona. The space is dimly lit and has sort of a cabaret theatre feel (idk how else to describe it). The terrace area was beautiful and has amazing details in the architecture. There’s also a bar inside with tons of liquor and beer options. We had the benefit of open bar. The performances were amazing, the women looked like they were possibly a mother/​daughter duo but don’t let that fool you, the more experienced woman did not let down at all. The musicians were talented and a lot of guests in our party even bought their CD. You feel entranced by the music and artistry of the dancers, it really is captivating. I would go back if I could!

Very entertaining performance of Flamenco. Intimate venue (seats about 50). Reservations a good idea but they can be made same day at least for us. The price was reasonable and it was right next to a great Tapas bar. Very talented musicians and a great experience!

I’ve never seen Flamenco and/​or Spanish guitar live before but this totally surpassed all of my expectations! The talent level of the dancers, the singers AND the guitar player were so impressive I was awe struck. 25 € without reservations which includes a drink and 20 € with but so worth every penny (I mean euro ;)
The venue itself is a beautiful old building which sets a great mood and you jut become immersed into this whole experience, could not recommend enough!

Excellent show in an intimate setting. The dancing was exceptional! The venue looks like an old hacienda. The staff were super friendly. We caught the 9:30 show which lasted all of an hour with a 10– minute intermission. The cover charge was 20 € per person which included a free drink at the bar. It was pretty good value for the money.

Perhaps an off night, but totally unprofessional and best put, weird! Show only lasted 35 minutes and there was minimal dancing… Let down after ratings :(

I bought tickets online for this show and the 20 euros per person was a DEAL compared what we were in for. This Flamenco show was simply powerful and the environment very intimate and fun. Each patron is given a highball or wine drink which we found fairly strong and everyone we met there shared the same breath-​taking experience that we had. Normally, I am not really big into performances of this nature, but this was awesome and I would definitely do it again.

The atmosphere, passion, power and skills of both dancers and musicians is something quite special. The limited seating in an enclosed courtyard makes for a wonderfully intimate setting. I have seen a few shows in my time, but this was the best — a couple of times I had to remind myself to breathe — spellbinding!

Outstanding. This was a real highlight of our week-​long trip to Barcelona. The beautiful baroque venue, the stunning performances … what’s not to like? I strongly recommend this flamenco experience to everyone. It felt and sounded authentic, passionate and intimate. Love, love, loved it.

Very good place to watch real Flamenco!
First of all it is not very touristy place. There are a lot of people from Spain.
Second the price is 20 eur for a ticket. And you can change it for a drink. We learned about 10 flamenco places and others were with food and the price was bigger. So if you want just watch flamenco you should go there.
The show is amazing. There is no so much place to seat a lot of people (like it usually did touristic places), that is mean that all spectators is in the first row. You will get the feeling that all actors are dancing for you only. I strongly recommend to visit!

While visiting here in BCN, I was really set on wanting to see a flamenco show. Our tour guide suggested Palau Dalmases as a nice place to see a great show for a reasonable price off the beaten path. We tried to get info ahead of time on their website about purchasing tickets, but it didn’t provide any details, so we just decided to head down there and give it a shot. We arrived just in time for the 9:30 show and found the large, heavy wooden doors propped open and someone inside greeting guests.
The feeling here is so unique. Very warm and homey, while still providing an authentic environment for the flamenco show. We headed up to the bar and ordered a glass of wine (included with the 20 euro fee for entry) and took a seat in the back row. There is a very intimate feeling here as it only fits about 20 to 30 guests at most. The show started a few minutes after 9:30 and was an hour of pure bliss for me. The dancers, singer and instrument players were so full of passion and emotion, it was really quite a moving experience. They continued to provide more than just entertainment, but also a journey into another world while watching them perform. I have just spent my last year of undergrad studies in college specifically researching about flamenco and dance in Spain, so for me it’s a very exciting cultural aspect that fills me with joy and happiness. This show delivered 110%.
It seemed as though the hour flew by more and when they were suddenly finished all i could think of was «I WANT MORE!!». I don’t know how the time went by so quickly, all i know is I probably had a doofy smile stuck on my face the entire time as I could not contain my excitement! Seriously, absolutely one of the best attractions I have been to in Europe thus far. So moving, so exciting, so passionate. Hard to describe in words. Just do yourself a favor and go see it already!

Es un tablao Flamenco en un palacio de influencia barroca, decorado con tapisterias, esculturas y mobiliario antigos. La union entre el estilo de música y la arquitectura del lugar crea un ambiante curioso y mágico a la vez. Parece que el tiempo ha parado. Es un sitio peculiar porque uno no se imagina que detrás de estas dos puertas de madera grandes y pesadas puede haber este tipo de entertainment, y menos en el Born.
Nos dejaron con mi amiga tomar una sola copa en el patio sin pagar para el espectáculo (que tenía lugar dentro). Quizás porque era un lunes y no había tanta gente. Las copas son un poco caras (6 € la copa de vino). Pero se podía escuchar la música muy bien. Está bien si vienes con un amigo o tu pareja pero no con un grupo de amigos porque tienes que hablar con la voz baja durante el espectáculo. El local cierra después del espectáculo con lo cual es más bien un sitio para la primera copa de noche.

Por el precio (15 euros desde atrapalo con consumición y hora y media de espectaculo aprox.) no está mal para pasar una tarde-​noche diferente, pero es demasiado correcto ¿que quiero decir? pues que les falta algo sangre, esa vena flamenca que transmite sentimiento y que consigue que te creas lo que estas viendo. Lo cierto esque los cuatro (cajón, guitarra, cantaor y bailaora) son buenos y hacen un buen espectaculo, pero son excesivamente técnicos. El público bastante sosainas y ciertamente es lo que marca la diferencia entre un verdadero tablao flamenco. El lugar es muy pintoresco, hace un poco de rasca, eso si.

Palau Dalmases is one of the most touristy streets in Barcelona’s Born district, yet you know almost immediately that not many tourists come here. It’s a fantastic place to take visitors or to try out yourself if you’re in the mood for something special and enjoying a drink before heading out elsewhere or just calling it a night. This is definitely NOT a typical bar and the seating and arrangements do not suggest «hangout» at all — I would recommend this place for couples or a small group of couples and for people in their late 20s and up. People sometimes call this place a bit pretentious — but I feel like that’s making it something it’s not. It’s sort of a small and intimate music lounge in someone’s home — definitely not the same type of vibe as its surrounding neighborhood, but that’s what makes it special.
Getting there — it’s on Montcada down the street from the Picasso museum but closer to Paseo del Born, hidden behind two giant wooden doors. When open, one door is usually slightly ajar — you can knock or gently push it in and you will be greeted by a lovely older gentleman who will direct you into the palace’s main rooms.
The palace is Baroque and was once the residence of the Dalmases family and has kept its earlier grandeur and you really feel like you are stepping into their home. You can sit in a variety of rooms, each one decorated with antiques, sculptures, beautiful tapestries… the list can go on. You can choose your area and it’s great for an intimate gathering — I’ve always come with couples, but this would also be a great date spot.
Drinks are a little pricier — I think it’s almost 10 euros for a heavy handed mixed cocktail, but like I said, this is a place to enjoy A drink, not many.
On Thursday nights, the palace invites opera singers to come to the lounge to sing arias — and THAT is truly impressive and one of my favorite experiences ever. They sing right in the main room and you can enjoy a cocktail feeling like you’re living the royal life.

Un lugar diferente para tomar una copa. Es un palacio situado en la calle de los palacios, en el corazón del Born, casi enfrente del Museo Picasso. Un grán porticón, siempre cerrado pero con un cartelito en la fachada que te indica los horarios.
Entrando por el patio de carruajes llegas al espacio, la vista se pierde observando la infinidad de objetos barrocos perpétuos. Allí en ciertas horas podrás disfrutar de una opereta, un pianista y una señora que inparten fragmentos de óperas de los más prestigiosos compositores.

Bei unserem (ersten) nächtlichen Ausflug in Barcelona landeten wir auf Empfehlung unseres Reiseführers (National Geographic Spirallo) im Palau Dalmases.
Die Bar ist im Innenhof eines Palastes und entsprechend schick eingerichtet. Im Hintergrund läuft klassische Musik und an den Wänden hängen Gemälde. Alles in Allem ein schickes Ambiente. Jedoch ist leider nicht alles Gold was glänzt.
Eine Karte gab es nichts und so bestellten wir einfach jeder ein Bier ohne vorher einen Blick auf die Preise werfen zu können. Wir rechneten shon damit, dass wir fürs Ambiente draufzahlen würden. Es kam allerdings schlimmer als gedacht. Für ein 0,33 Estrella, kein wirkliches Spitzenbier, durften wir 8 EUR bezahlen.
Wie wir feststellten, fielen noch einige andere Leute auf diese Masche rein, denn in den Innenhof kam man nur, indem man sich von dem Pförtner zum Platz hatte bringen lassen. Es herrschte also auch ein gewisser Zwang, dann auch dort zu bleiben.
Die Sanitäranlagen fand ich für den Preis nicht angemessen. Eine einfache, mehr oder weniger saubere und enge Toilette stand zur Verfügung.
Ich möchte an dieser Stelle jeden unbedarften Touristen warnen, in diese Bar zu gehen. Das Ambiente ist zwar schick, aber diesen hohen Preis dann doch nicht wert. Ausserdem wird nicht mit offenen Karten gespielt (keine Karte und Preise, Einlass über Türsteher), was ich sehr unfair finde.
