Gay Clubs in Barcelona

The largest of the Arena group's four connected venues, this pop-and-chart club on Ronda de Sant Pere runs two dancefloors and doesn't find its footing until well past midnight.

The biggest drag operation in Barcelona by its own reckoning, with a roster of more than 15 queens, pole dancers, and singers rotating through nightly shows.

A members-only bar-and-cruising club on Carrer d'Aribau, directly opposite the Axel Hotel, with an interior that stops people in their tracks: hammered metallic cladding lines the entrance corridor from floor to ceiling, and the main bar runs dark red with geometric neon frames and velvet stools.

A Saturday-night club on Carrer de Tarragona in Sants-Montjuïc, drawing a party-focused crowd for one of Barcelona's more energetic weekly gay nights.
