Where to go out at night in Barcelona?
A guide to bars and discos

Bars: We love Barcelona for its tapas bars, cafes, wonderful terraces or its chocolate bars, but Barcelona also has an impressive variety of nightlife mostly small typical bars such as "cocktail bars", "whiskerías", Xampanyerias "(bars where you can taste the Catalan Cava), craft beer bars, increasingly fashionable and finally the great Catalan classic, the" vermuteria ", where we liked what here is considered as the best ff the best: the vermut! 

Barcelona has more bars, cafés and late night haunts per capita than any other city in the world...

Discotheques: But having a drink after dinner until one in the morning is just preheating. It is the opportunity to meet friends, eat tapas before really going out, have fun and enjoy the night of Barcelona. Around here the night has no end. Barcelona is known for its nightclubs, clubs, discos, DJs and countless great celebrations. City of reference in the international electronic scene, Barcelona welcomes all the music of the world, without exception. These new stars that are the DJs will have to pass through Barcelona, ​​in one of their clubs or in the recognized festivals like Sónar or Primavera Sound.

But in what area of ​​Barcelona? Geographically there is no general rule for going out at night in Barcelona. Almost every neighborhood has its bars and nightclubs. However, it is good to know that the Olympic port area is one of the busiest areas of the night with bars and nightclubs on the seafront like Opium Mar, Shoko, CDLC or Pacha Barcelona. Not far from there, in the Poble Nou neighborhood, a bit more industrial, we have the giant clubs like Razzmatazz which is the place to listen to indie-rock, pop, house and electro. This is the young neighborhood without a doubt. The Eixample and its nightclubs are for the night owl students and jet set area of ​​the weekend. Finally, El Born is the quieter neighborhood, but offers many night bars or cocktail bars with a more sophisticated but always very warm atmosphere, including good jazz and flamenco clubs. Check our page Flamenco Barcelona to get more information about the great clubs and tickets.

 In this "Barcelona nightlife guide" we try to recommend the best discos, clubs and bars in the city .. Not all, just the ones we like!

 You can also find in our directory all discotheques and bars classified by type, such as: tapas bars, flamenco bars, cocktail bars ...

 Useful information for nightlife: Remember that nightlife starts at around 10 pm for bars, midnight or 1 am for discos. The bars close around 2:00 on weekdays and 3:00 on weekends. Clubs and discos open around midnight and rarely close before 6 or 7 in the morning ... ;-)

Going out in Barcelona: The best cocktail bars

For a long time, the madness of the cocktails struck Barcelona. The older ones remember Gimlet, the Mirablau or the Pipa Club. These bars smelled good Jazz, black romance and great classics like the Pink Lady or the Whiskey Sour .. We even knew the name of the bartender. These times are over and this is much better, because Barcelona has made a real progress in the matter. After the crazy wave of the discovery of the Gin Tonic in all its forms and at all prices one speaks now of "mixology" and the bartenders are stars or artists. We discover with them new alcohols coming from far away and flavors hitherto unknown. These bars are now as beautiful as warm, musical and often perfect for dancing. Cocktails in Barcelona have never been so inspired and sophisticated. In short it is impossible to imagine an evening in Barcelona without discovering these places. If the trend 2017 is to "clandestine" bars here we mention 4 of our favorites. In complete confidence!

Those looking for a crazy disco can discover in summer Atlantis by its swimming pool or La Terrazza.

    9. Amazing town! - Lucas89 (23 Mar 2013 - 10:45)

      hi everybody, i'm polish and i went to Barcelona last week for first time, gotta say that experience was really amazing. I've seen some comments about the English thing, that they don't speak it at all, well, in my case, i've found some places where they do or at least they try it nicely. I stayed in a youth hostal in Les Corts town, next to "carrer galileu", my daily loving street. It's quite normal neighbour, but the people are amazing. There is this unknown coffee-bar-lounge bar that has no fame but has nice products, great coffee during the morning, loving pizzas, and above all....the cocktails, a great young english speaker named Carlos that has a lot of touch for them. placed at number 148 of galileu, i recommend to have a visit there! is quite near from the Camp Nou. Have fun!!!!

      I went to Barcelona recently , one month back . It is a very beautiful and lovely place and it was a dream for me to visit this place long time back . However, i was really surprised that people doesn't know English , even the basics of it, so it was difficult to communicate with taxi drivers, resturants/night clubs staff ...etc. plus they are not hospitable , not welcoming people . I didn't expect to see that in this famous touristic and lovely city .... i was surprised!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
