Barcelona Never Sleeps: From Tapas to ‘Aftas’
BY
Sam Mednick
Barcelona Local Expert
Vibrant by day and even more so after dark, Barcelona’s long been renowned for its thriving nightlife. Classy bars, rustic tapas joints and underground after parties provide for hours of authentic, Spanish amusement. Barcelona’s nightlife can best be summed as “randomly eclectic,” as it’s a city in which the best-laid plan is not to have one at all. The most exciting nights are the ones where you find yourself stumbling from bar to bar in any given neighborhood and, in typical Spanish fashion, going with the flow. If you feel like spending the night bouncing around in the same neighborhood, Jamboree and Café Royal are rustic and classy (respectively) and centered in the always bustling Plaza Reial right off La Rambla. Craving top 40? Head to the Eixample and dance until the sun comes up at Hyde Club or if you’re in the mood to walk along the beach and chill at an outdoor patio while listening to House music, then CDLC or Opium Mar are ideal late night options.
And don’t forget to check out Gracia neighborhood, a very local, Catalan part of town with trendy bars and clubs, this area is always bopping, every night of the week especially on Calle Verdi which is the main street in the Barrio.
Indie rock with the occasional live music gig, Sidecar is sheer late night fun. You can’t get more central than Plaza Reial and this hip, unpretentious two-storey space (restaurant and bar upstairs, club downstairs) is a great way to dance until the sun comes up. Sidecar is pure fun. Whether you’re in flip flops, stilettos, a mini skirt or even a bathing suit, there are no restrictions when it comes to this late night disco. Unless you’re eating in the restaurant where its best to come dressed more ‘conservatively’, Sidecar is unpretentious, relaxed and intimate. It’s a nice way to listen to indie music in the city center.
Recommended for Best Nightlife because: A rustic, eclectic nightclub with great Indie music in the city center
Sam’s expert tip: Show up before 2am if you want to avoid a line.

This club, bar, restaurant, cocktail lounge and above all one of Barcelona’s greatest party venues is just a stone’s throw from the beach and hosts some of Barcelona’s most beautiful people nightly. Once the sun goes down the restaurant transforms into a lively club featuring well known resident DJ’s and very often themed parties. The space is large and the atmosphere is intense and full of excitement, especially if you’re looking to party until the sun comes up. Close to CDLC and Opium clubs, it’s in the epi-center of Barcelona’s nightlife and the perfect place to spend an evening with good looking people.
Recommended for Best Nightlife because: A cheesy and packed nightclub along the beach, where people go to be seen
Sam’s expert tip: Put your name on the list via Facebook or their website, in order to skip the lines, especially on weekends.

It’s a live music venue before 12, but once the clock strikes midnight Jamboree transforms into a raging nightclub playing plenty of 80’s and 90’s rock. Centrally located in Plaza Reial Jamboree’s a guaranteed good time. And if you feel like switching up the scene, walk across the plaza to one of the many other clubs and bars open until 6am or 7am. Jamboree is a great mix between a live music locale and a late night disco. It’s tons of fun and located in one of the most electric Plazas in the city, Plaza Reial. When you’re finished in the club, watch the sunrise amongst the palm trees.
Recommended for Best Nightlife because: A lively, fun and very central nightclub in Plaza Reial
Sam’s expert tip: Check out out the live mix of jazz and blues music nightly, before 12am
Read more about Jamboree →
With two floors playing completely different music nightly, you can feel like you’re attending separate clubs at this trendy Barcelona venue. Rock out to heavy metal upstairs and then dance to minimal house on the main floor. BeCool often features well known DJ’s so be sure to check the website for upcoming artists and shows. This is a ‘nicer’ club in Sarria, one of the outer lying neighborhoods in Barcelona. Frequented by Catalan locals, hipsters and expats who love music, BeCool is a great way to spend an evening with good people, great music and a variety of drink options.
Recommended for Best Nightlife because: A posh, two-storey club in one of the city’s residential neighborhoods
Sam’s expert tip: Look for flyers strewn throughout the city (handouts or in bars and cafes) and get free entrance to the club.

It’s worth the line up if you’re in the mood for top 40 hits. Located in the slightly more elegant, Eixample neighborhood, Hyde is a small, unassuming nightclub with a young university crowd. If you’re looking for a great night on the town, this is always a sure bet. Although it’s mostly populated with a younger crowd, Hyde Club still attracts the mid 30’s and early 40’s crowd as well. It has a great mix of people and is an incredibly fun night on the town. Located in the Eixample area, you’re surrounded by other bars and clubs so if you get sick of this one you can easily stroll to the next.
Recommended for Best Nightlife because: A cheesy, stylish bar in the Eixample with excellent dance tunes
Sam’s expert tip: Order their Vodka Ginger and Lime specialty drink
Read more about Hyde →
A Barcelona staple, Macarena Club has been around for years and to locals and tourists alike it is a late night gem. But be sure to arrive early (by 1:30am) as the club is tiny and once it reaches capacity, the doors shut. If you’re looking for a mix of house and electronic beats this is the place to go. Centrally located in the Gothic Quarter, it’s easy to find and easier to stumble home from, especially if you’re staying downtown. This is a sure bet for night-caps, if you feel like staying on your feet until the sun comes up.
Recommended for Best Nightlife because: A Barcelona, Gotico ‘must-see’, featuring fabulous Dj’s in a small and intimate setting
Sam’s expert tip: Great place for a private party
Read more about Macarena →
Six Euros buys you admission and a drink to one of the liveliest clubs in Barcelona. The downstairs space is divided into two areas; one for the bar and a separate dancing room directly adjacent to it. If you’re looking for a mix of 50’s, 60’s, 70’s 80’s and 90’s tunes, this is the place to be! Magic is one of Barcelona’s funnest clubs. Located in the Born neighborhood just on the edge before hitting Ciutadela Park, this club is always busy especially on Friday nights. It’s a no frills, no muss, no fuss type of club with wonderful energy and great tunes.
Recommended for Best Nightlife because: A fun, top 40’s club with great music, cheap drinks and a lively vibe
Sam’s expert tip: Watch out for insanely long lines on the weekends, so try to arrive before 1:30am.
Read more about Magic →
Relatively new to the Barcelona Club scene, Marula is a vibrant space, ideal for hosting concerts, live music and parties. It specializes in funk, but features rock, pop, jazz and other genres as well. Centrally located in the Gothic Quarter, right off of Plaza Tripi and La Rambla, this is a great late night party especially on weekends. Be sure to check their line up for well-known DJ’s and star line ups as they have special guests and featured artists all year-round. It’s best to get on the guest list, especially on the weekends when lines can extend into the plaza.
Recommended for Best Nightlife because: A hip and eclectic nightclub right off of La Rambla with a variety of hip hop and funk
Sam’s expert tip: There’s an excellent pasta place for late night food right next door to the club
Read more about Marula Cafe →
Ladies throw on the heels and guys switch up the board shorts for trousers, if you want to get past the bouncers at Opium Mar. Overlooking the beach and located next to the elegant Hotel Arts, Opium is one of the hottest nightclubs in town, acting as a restaurant, bar, lounge and club all in one. If you plan on hitting the town for the night, go for dinner at Opium and then stay and watch as the restaurant slowly transforms itself into party central just a little after 12am (while avoiding the lines outside). This is a great place to dance the night away.
Recommended for Best Nightlife because: A lively, fun and extravagant nightclub along Barcelona’s Beach
Sam’s expert tip: Saturday nights often have drinks specials

See and Be Seen at Carpe Diem Lounge Club (CDLC). Posh, chic and trendy if you’re up for an expensive and elegant night out this is the place to be. This bar, restaurant and lounge has an exclusive VIP area, often frequented by football players but available to anyone as long as you buy a bottle of alcohol (usually 130 Euros minimum.). Located on Barceloneta’s beachfront, CDLC is surrounded by a host of other big name clubs including Opium and Shoko all of which provide for a lively and extremely exciting late night scene down by the boardwalk along the Mediterranean.
Recommended for Best Nightlife because: A Barcelona classic that attracts famous footballers and high rollers across the country
Sam’s expert tip: Put your name on the Facebook list if you want to avoid long lines

AMAZING!
This was the best thing I did in Barcelona! The wait in the line outside was 100% worth it. The directions were so clear; you got a passport book and a stamp.
You stamped the kind of liquor (or none) and the flavor you want and they surprised you with your drink. The presentation was immaculate; my drink came to me on a train while on fire!

Cocktails with substance at a fair price
💁🏻🧑🏽🔬: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
🍹🍺: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
💶💲: ⭐⭐⭐⭐The cocktails were fantastic.
I asked for recommendations from one of the barmen and they were on point. Whether strong, bitter, sweet, sour or specific alcohols like gin, whiskey or cognac they were able to come up with something that suited that suited my tastes. I didn’t eat anything, but the “Speedy Gonzales” came with pecorino Sardo, which is frankly the best pecorino (fight me, Romans). I never had a cocktail with cheese, but I’ve been converted to super savoury cocktails.
Service was top quality. I gave them my preferences and they delivered. I couldn’t ask for more.
Atmosphere was great, we felt cosy welcomed. The style is what drew us in first. Maybe the cocktails weren’t as “Instagramable” as other but they had excellent flavour and execution.
Prices were standard—but for the quality, you would be lucky to pay less. The pure selection of drinks was amazing. Couldn’t recommend more highly for a drop in or your local in Barcelona.

Best Bar in Barcelona
This is my favorite bar in Barcelona. Last year my family wandered into the bar by chance and ended up having to much fun. We returned again this year because we had such a great time when we first went. The drinks are out of the ordinary and they are always creating new drinks.
The staff is super friendly and engaging. I would 100% recommend!

And we found coolness and peace here
After an exhausting promenade under the baking sun along the Ramblas, I specially brought my companions to this institution. And we did not regret it. At least it’s cool and there are free places we found ourselves. We went into this place somewhere before 14-00 and immediately found ourselves in the fabulous peaceful atmosphere of the fairy forest.
The older generation reinforced their strength with coffee, but the young with chilled cola. you are in a fantasy world, far from the hustle and bustle of a big city. Why not 5 stars? The menu could be adjusted to the atmosphere of the establishment. music..and El Bosc de les Fades would turn into a real adventure and a must visit place when you are in Barcelona.
PS. Prices, at least for drinks, are reasonable.Review for: El Bosc de les Fades

Atmospheric place
They say that they never stopped preparing cocktails using the frowling method. Massive counter, adult bartenders. You can drink a couple of cocktails. The price tag is quite high, frankly, but what is not. For the atmosphere) from the outside, the institution is almost unremarkable, although it is located a stone’s throw from the very entrance street of Barcelona.

Great live music in the Gothic Quarter
Listened to Cuban music performed by Ray Cuza & Septeto Sazonando de Cuba.
I liked it very much. The cost depends on the specific program. We had 10 euros per person. Tickets can be booked in advance and redeemed on the spot half an hour before the start (or just bought at the entrance), but it’s better to come early to have time to take a seat (seating at the tables right in front of the stage is in short supply + there are several bar seats). The club is small, the stage is in the depths, there is a bar at the entrance, but it is impossible to listen to music there, as it is blocked by the hum of voices. The only downside is the lack of ventilation. After an hour and a half, there were so many people that there was simply nothing to breathe near the stage, and we had to leave the concert a little earlier than we wanted. But the “hot” Cuban atmosphere was fully felt:)))

A cozy place in the city center bad, but not chic. From the pros – a very atmospheric and pleasant place, from the minuses – a hookah of average quality, cramped, there is no personal space, nevertheless, I advise those who like to smoke to visit.

Not a bad bar, but not a secret place
Bar with a barbershop entrance, not bad enough for Barcelona, good cocktails, good music.
Of the minuses, there is quite a bit of space and the main difference from the real secret place is a lot of people, otherwise everything is very good.

Interesting interior
The food is specific, for a lover of Asian and Indian cuisine. We tried it for variety. The atmosphere is amazing, the interior is amazing. There is a terrace overlooking the sea. There was a strong wind, a little cold. Service is lively and friendly.

Barcelona nightclub |
This page contains links to detailed descriptions of some of the most popular nightclubs in Barcelona. In each review of a particular club, you will find information about what the club is like, what kind of audience there is, when it works, how to get to it and what kind of music plays there. The clubs are categorized according to the areas of the city where they are located. This will help you find a club in a part of the city that is convenient for you.
We will also give you an overview of the club life in the city, give you tips and explanations about the nightlife in Barcelona.
Barcelona nightlife
In Barcelona, you will quickly realize that this is a city that never sleeps. Spaniards eat late, drink late and go out late. Don’t be surprised if on weekends until 01:00 – 02:00 at night the clubs are still almost empty, and they will work until 06:00. It’s good to have a siesta!
Barcelona’s nightlife goes hand in hand with the city itself – it’s trendy, varied and sometimes great. If you are at heart and not a club person, it is still worth going to at least one nightclub to see what’s what. And if you like to drink cocktails reclining, then keep in mind that more and more lounge clubs are popping up now!
Most clubs do not have set prices. It all depends on the specific day and artist. Until a certain time (usually until 01:00) entry to many clubs is free. Plus, while walking around the city, you will most likely be given a flyer with the right to enter for free at any time. Flyers are available in stores, bars, and some cafes have flyer stands. Usually, flyers entitle you to a free drink, 2 drinks for the price of one, or free admission. Some club flyers are handed out right outside the clubs, but you can see them all over the city, including on the Ramblas and in the Barri Gòtic quarter.
