The Arqus nightclub, an icon of nightlife on the Costa Dorada in the 80s and 90s, has announced its reopening in Roda de Berà after more than 30 years closed. The venue is looking for waiters and bar staff for its return.

The Arqus nightclub, which defined the nightlife of the Costa Dorada during the 80s and 90s, is preparing to reopen its doors in Roda de Berà. The venue closed in the mid-90s and now, with a new impetus, is seeking staff for its team. According to the establishment's announcement via its social media, the reopening is imminent, although no confirmed date has been set yet.

The announcement has generated great excitement among the residents of the Barcelona province who experienced their youth in that venue. The nightclub, located next to the N-340, was a meeting point for thousands of young people for over a decade. Now, with the slogan "a place with a lot of history and many stories to write," the Arqus aims to reclaim its essence.

A job offer that confirms the return

The Arqus nightclub has published a short video on its social media with the message "the story continues" and, subsequently, an image featuring its new logo. "We are back with a new image. And we are here to stay. The story of ARQVS continues… #StayTuned," read the Instagram post. But what has ultimately confirmed the reopening has been the publication of several job offers.

The venue is looking for waiters, office staff, and bar support staff. All interested parties can send their CV to the email arqvs.roda@gmail.com. This search for staff indicates that the reopening is very close, although the management has not specified an exact date. The anticipation is at its peak, especially among those who remember the dancing sessions and live concerts that made it a benchmark of nightlife.

An icon of the 80s and 90s comes back to life

The Arqus nightclub opened its doors in 1982 and quickly established itself as one of the most famous alternatives on the Costa Dorada. For over a decade, it was the epicentre of nightlife for the youth of the time, with live performances and music sessions that made it unique. However, in the mid-90s, it closed its doors amid changes in the nightlife sector.

Now, more than 30 years later, the Arqus comes back to life. For many, it is an opportunity to relive those youthful years. The reopening not only holds sentimental value but also represents a boost for the entertainment offerings of the Costa Dorada, which has evolved significantly since the nightclub's closure. The news has spread like wildfire among the residents of Roda de Berà and throughout the province of Barcelona, who eagerly await the chance to step back onto the Arqus dance floor.

The Roda de Berà Town Hall has not made any statements regarding this, but the reopening of such an emblematic venue could have a positive impact on tourism and the local economy. The nightclub is located in a prime spot next to the N-340, making it accessible for visitors from across the region.

For those who want to be part of this new chapter, the opportunity is open. The Arqus is looking for staff for its reopening, and interested parties can send their CV to the indicated email. The countdown to enjoy one of the most beloved nightclubs in the province has already begun.
