I visited the New Aribau in July 2004. Located at Aribau 226. Open 5pm-5am. It was AWESOME. Very convenient with about a 5 minute taxi ride from Las Ramblas. Women were upscale, and a wide variety from many countries. At midnight, there were about 40 ladies in the club on a Friday night. 15 eur cover charge that included 1 drink. 90 eur for 30min, or 99 eur on credit card for 30 min. Each session seemed to last a little more than 30 minutes, but YMMV. All ladies had great attitudes. Drinks for ladies were expensive. I sampled a Venezuelan, a Brazilian, and a Romanian. All three were great, but I've got to give the top performance to the Romanian gal, a cute little spinner.

934-142-998
Carrer d'Aribau 226
between Avinguda Diagonal and Travessera de Gracia
Metro Stop: Diagonal
Mon-Sun 7pm-5am
How To Get There By Metro/Train:
Take Metro Line L3 or L5 to the Diagonal Stop.
The exit will depend on which line you took. Follow signs or the station map to bring you closest to Avinguda Diagonal.
Cross Avinguda Diagonal and walk in the direction so that building numbers are increasing. You should be on the same side and pass a McDonalds.
You'll need to continue past approximately 5 streets, the last 3 being Augusta, Balmes, and d'Alfons XII before turning right on Carrer d'Aribau.
New Aribau will be shortly up the block on the right just after a Yoga place and next to a bus stop.
What To Expect:
There will be one or more doormen at the entrance. They'll bring you to the nearby register to pay a 20 euro cover charge to enter.
The ticket the doorman gives you is good for a drink at the bar. There is no need to tip for this drink.
You'll be eyed by the working ladies upon entering the bar. Expect to be approached soon after sitting down. Others will try their luck if you decline the first, second, etc...
There were about 8 available when I visited on a Monday night.
Buying a working lady a drink costs 50 euros, ouch.
I was quoted 120 euros for 30 minutes or 200 euros for an hour.
Pub 240 (Mon-Sun 7pm-4:30am) is just up the block if you want to see more options. Club Breston (Mon-Sat 5pm-4am, Sun 7pm) is about 3 blocks and Top Damas (10:30am - 5am Mon-Sat) and La Vie en Rose (24/7) are about 8 and 11 blocks respectively.
Diamond, Divas, Sauna Lys, Sauna Regards, and Sauna Yuma are also close, but I have no info on them.
Additional Comments:
The interior of this club is modern with neon lighting. If you take a working lady to a room, she'll need to check-in with a lady at a computer and use some kind of scanner. My experience with this part of the process was from a year ago (I didn't session here this trip), so the details are fuzzy. The talent on this visit had noticably declined from a visit I made in mid-2010. That combined with the pricing is the reason for the below average score. However, I also visited on a Monday so the timing may just have been bad. New Aribau had one of my most attractive pulls on the previous trip. I would recommend visiting this place on a Wednesday - Saturday if possible, I think the lineup is probably much better then...
