Of course, Sant Antoni is the place to go (a little hipster, but hey maybe I am one of them), but Calders and La Bodeguita were packed. Not far from those we got here and We liked the place. Is really really small and maybe a rearrangement of the tables would be a good idea. We order some vermuts and tapas (olives, anchovies and bombas), and I have to say that were delicious and the prices are really good. I think the boss is called Jordi, and he was helpful and he knows what he is doing. A couple a days later I went back with some friends and he was very helpful giving directions to a couple of restaurants. I have to say that it is a place that I will recommend and I will go again.

El Piano de Sitges is outside the center of Sitges gayborhood and on a quiet side street. The bar…read morefront is really just a door with a poster. Walking through the second door reveals a small bar with 2 bartenders, and a little stage with el piano. What sets this gay bar apart from the others are the live singers and performers that grace the stage mostly in summer. West End & Broadway singers, cabaret singers, et al. A few were so good over the years that I bought their CD. Other evenings have pianists entertaining the crowd. In the summer one bartender does double duty as video DJ and keeps the music hopping with old campy music videos (think oldies like 70-80-90s Europop) plus same era divas like Madonna. I definitely used Shazam to ID a number of songs outside my repertoire such as: The Communards "Don't Leave Me This Way, with Sarah Jane Morris"?! We always manage to have a good time here. We especially look forward to Summer Showtune Sundays which becomes a fantastic singalong. The bartenders are super friendly. The crowd is drunk, fun and many times dancing and singing along. El Piano usually temporarily closes in the fall and returns as the Sitges season restarts. Check their Facebook page to be sure it's open. Also check out the Playbills above the urinals. So unique you keep your eyes looking up instead of down.

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).

Hundreds strut through Plaça Indústria "Parrots Plaza" every night. Rainbow-colored umbrellas, cocktail tables and chairs in rows face out on both sides of the walking street so you can watch the nightly parade, and be watched in return! Service is ok considering the servers have to squeeze through the crowds. Cocktails are typical well/call drinks and big fruity tourist concoctions. Don't pass up their Piña Colada! Food is basic tourist bar fare. Eye candy is free.

Once you get off the train from Barcelona and check into your hotel, might I suggest you come here first. In fact, I can't imagine coming to Sitges without coming here. That's how essential Jamie W. and I think this spot is to any adult trip to Sitges. Parrots is quite a conglomerate in Sitges encompassing a hotel, a restaurant, a fitness club, and other local small businesses. At the start of the Street of Sin (a.k.a., gay central), this is their most prominent property, the bar with the huge terrace at the busy Plaça de la Indústria. The world passing by is what makes a table in the terrace essential. The newspaper on the table is the menu in multiple languages. They offer the standard bar bites, but the cocktails really stand out. We kept ordering the 9.30€ Pina Colada because it was huge, potent, and reminded us we were on vacation (photo: https://yelp.to/LP1bnRx_wm). The people watching is world-class starting with well-sculpted street acrobats standing on each other and the drag queens parading down the Street of Sin. Welcome to Sitges, baby!

That's because this compact bar probably employs the nicest bartenders in Sitges. With impressive fluency in English, they managed to make us feel welcome without being patronizing. Even though the indoor space was quite small, we secured the only available table for two. It was in front where we had a constant view of the passing boy traffic. We kept it tropical with a couple of their 9€ cocktails, a Tequila Sunrise and a Pina Colada, served in generous goblets (Photo 9). A group of young bucks had gathered at the far end of the bar. We realized a show was taking place, a well sculpted stripper in a cop's uniform was straddling a customer (Photo 10). He didn't seem to mind. We learned from the bartender that this performance was actually part of their regular schedule of activities. Each day of the week features a specialty entertainment like Drag Show Mondays, Cabaret Wednesdays, Karaoke Thursdays. Lucky us, we were here on Go-Go Stripper Saturday.
