MONDAY MAY 19, 2008
Club Class
They say the devil always throws the best parties, and in our experience it's true. I mean who - apart from all that camp power, glitz, and gold - could actually enjoy a party thrown by the Vatican? God, all those rules - there'd be no smoking for starters?!

If you're going to dance with the devil you may as well go the distance. We all know by now that smoking is about as fashionable as paedophilia and serial killing, but Hell, some of us like it. Which is why we've been sucking on the corporate filter of Lucky Strike's 'Club de Fumadores' in Barrio Gotico.

Sadly they're not handing out free cancer sticks, but they do - should you be lucky enough to be invited - hand out free drinks and more solid forms of sustenance.

But the main point here is that, branded or not, you can have a good old smoke up with a nice drink and a bite to eat. Which in the current moral climate is almost heavenly.

Club Fumadores from Lucky Strike Crew
Plaça Mercé, Barrio Gotico. Open Monday-Friday 10-22
Free membership by introduction. Free entry, free drinks, meeting room for use by request.
