Bacon Bear Bar

This men-only bar and cruise club is one of the most popular of its kind in Eixample. Its dark back room and private cabins are always busy with a mixed age clientele, while at the bar you can meet new guys and take advantage of happy hours every night. The club is open daily into the early hours for plenty of drinks and casual cruising fun.

Plata is a modern gay cocktail bar in the heart of Eixample, offering a trendy atmosphere and a delicious range of drinks.

Enjoy fancy premium drinks or more classic cocktails created by expert mixologists.

Open every day from early evening, this cosy local bar is the ideal spot to enjoy a drink and relax with friends. You'll find a mixed crowd of people hanging out at the bar or sitting back on sofas around the room. There's space to dance as well if you feel like it, with a soundtrack that mixes pop, dance, reggaeton and contemporary R&B. Moeem is an alternative space with a warm atmosphere and something for everyone.

One of the newer additions to Gaixample, HBB Barcelona combines a daytime café and casual food spot with a friendly gay bear bar once evening arrives. There’s also a street terrace, making it an easy place for coffee, food or a relaxed first drink before things get busier later. The location could hardly be more central to Barcelona's gay scene. La Sastrería is virtually next door, with DMEN'S, Priscilla and numerous other LGBTQ+ venues within a few minutes' walk. Bears and admirers form the core crowd, but the atmosphere is deliberately inclusive and noticeably more easy-going than a specialist fetish bar.

Pricilla is located in the heart of Eixample, offering all your favourite things about a Barcelona gay night out all in one place. There's plenty to eat, delicious drinks to sample, and spectacular drag shows to watch. For a more relaxed experience, grab a coffee and just sit back and enjoy the music. As the name suggests, Priscilla Cafe is designed to make you feel like the Queen of the Desert, with unique decoration and a fabulous fun atmosphere.

Drag is very much the heart of Strass Barcelona, with shows running regularly through the week alongside music, drinks and the occasional bingo session. The style is fun and accessible rather than high-concept, making this a good choice when you want traditional Barcelona drag entertainment without committing to a big club night. The Villarroel address puts Strass firmly inside Gaixample. The Moon Barcelona is only a few doors away, while El Cangrejo, Bacon Bear Bar and several other gay venues are within an easy walk. The crowd mixes locals and tourists across a broad age range, with evenings often starting fairly relaxed before becoming much livelier later on.
