Gay clubs in Barcelona usually don't get busy within the first 1-2 hours of their
regular opening hours, then they are often crowded and packed till closing.
Note for budget travellers: Entrance fees often include 1 drink of your choice.
To save money you could use the voucher for the more expensive drink
you plan to have during the night. Also, flyers or passes can save you
about 3 € and can be found in gay bars, cafes and shops.
Unfortunately, gay clubs in Barcelona are also notorious for the thieves
who operate in the clubs and have already caused a lot of trouble for
many travellers. Often they just observe where people put their wallet
after paying at the bars and later on they steal it from there on
the crowded dancefloor. Better don't take credit cards, too much money
and unnecessary identity cards to the clubs!
Important note: Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, many places are closed or opening hours may have changed.
Please check the websites and Facebook pages of the respective venues for the latest information.
