Checked out the Barcelona one.

They came weak. Real weak.

Like FEMA during Katrina.

Hey. But can you expand on your criticism?

Did you write these?

Sure.

Here is the nightlife section http://www.dirtcheapbarcelona.com/drink/nightlife/:

Quote:

Options abound when it comes to nightlife in Barcelona. From the young and trendy Born area, just to the north of the international Gothic Quarter, to the always lively avenue Carrer d’Aribau in L’Eixample, Gracia, and up into upper Barcelona, the city offers a myriad of night time activity.

To get things started, a typical night out usually starts with a late dinner. Many formal restaurants usually take reservations for either 9 or 11 pm, the latter being of preference for those prepping for an all-nighter. These times are typical of restaurants frequented by spanish people however and most restaurants in the central areas cater to varying schedules and will serve meals round the clock.

Student crowd
The local university crowd tends to stick to the low-key bars around the Plaza de la Universidad, just to the south of Plaza Catalunya, in the Raval area. Along the Carrer de Fernandina, which is the southward street off the plaza in front of the Macba, are numerous bars with a cool, casual atmosphere.

For those seeking a more Erasmus-esque atmosphere, hit up the various lounges and clubs in the Plaza Real, just off the Ramblas. Some, like the Cafe Royal, Nou de Zurbano, 3, don’t charge a cover and play a mix of soul, funk, bossa, and latin jazz, while others, like Jamboree, Plaza Real, 17, are replete with several dance floors and therefore charge a cover, in this case 9 euro.

Hip area – Gracia
For the more mature, thirty-something crowd who are looking for a good time but away from the crowds, the area of Gracia is full of cool and modern bars and clubs. One fun place is the Elsa Bar, along the calle Torrent de l’Olla, a hole-in-the-wall bar serving up freshly muddled mojito in a decidedly cuban atmosphere. While it may lack a dance floor, that doesn’t stop the bodies from moving their feet.

Rich and beautiful
If you want a taste of where the rich and their wannabes hang, head up to “Barcelona Alta” (upper Barcelona), around the Tibidabo to the bar Mirablau, where they may check to see you’re wearing Prada before letting you in, but the view from the top is truly incredible…Plaza del Doctor Andreu, ’til 6 am.

Are you kidding me?

Here is the "where to get laid" section http://www.dirtcheapbarcelona.com/drink/...irlsboys/:

Girl meets boy, boy meets girl, the eternal story of life on earth…but, you’ve gotta get out there to meet ‘em! In Barcelona, it’s no different, so strap on your boots and hit the streets.

Of course who you meet will depend on where you go, so pay attention here and pick your poison…

Random hook ups…
If you’re looking for the random hook-up, try Marmalade, a relatively new cocktail bar in the Raval, Riera Alta, 4. Here a mix of locals, students, and young professionals mingle in a low-key, relaxed atmosphere. A glass of wine is 4 euro, but it may get you a warm body. Also, if you´re not up to luring them in with your stare you can always opt for the pool table as a possible point of encounter. If lady luck doesn’t find you, try one of the other bars along the same street.

International crowd
The Gothic Quarter, around the Plaza Real, is always a good choice, as the international crowd is always friendly and looking to meet people. With strategically placed sofas and chairs places like Cafe Royal and Jamboree, it’s hard not to bump into a cutie or two.

Locals
In terms of meeting locals, a better choice would be heading up to Gracia, where successful young spaniards are often eager to practice their English. It’s a bit out of the center, but well connected by metro (Line 3, Fontana stop) and so in that sense is a great way to venture off the beaten path. Check out the Mond Bar, at the Plaza del Sol, with the best DJs in town and a posh interior, you just might meet your Don Juan…

Like I said.

Weak.

It is some real basic worthless information.

I mean, give me something I can use.

Throw down a hot tip. Something unique.

Something that isn't in every basic report out there.

When I throw down a sheet, 50-80% of it are spots no one mentions on the internet.

OK - BUT if supplemented by our BOOTS ON THE GROUND friends here, is this a bad online source for "weak" but starting information on newbie travel to these cities?

Like, Roosh, it is free! (Bye the bye, I will be testing these this summer myself!)

THANK YOU for you detailed response, thegmanifesto!
