El Molino

El Molino Review

For most of the 20th century, El Molino was the most legendary of the cabaret theaters on Avinguda Parallel. Modelled after Paris' Moulin Rouge, it closed in the late 1990s for lack of business. After an ambitious refurbishment of both the exterior and interior, El Molino opened again in 2010 as one of the most stunning and state-of-the-art cabaret theaters in Europe. The building now has five instead of the original two stories, with a bar and terrace on the third; the interior has been decked out with complex lighting systems that adapt to every change on the small stage. The theater hosts cabaret, Burlesque and tango performances, with a lunch pass at 2 pm, an evening pass at 6 pm, and a dinner show at 9:30 pm.
