Do you seek purity? Then La Chapelle bar, with its somber Catholic theme might be just what you need. This bar stands out due to its religious decor, including a collection of saints on the walls. The bar is very small, narrow and limited in space, which might be a tiny bit claustrophobic for guests used to more open drinking establishments, but the amazing quality of drinks and economical price make it worth it. As a rebellion against religious dogma, La Chapelle is also a very gay-friendly place. It is located in the gay-friendly region within the district of Eixample, referred to as “Gayxample.”
