Boxer CafeBar

Located in the popular Poble-sec quarter, La Federica is a place with personality. Unique and specially chosen vintage furniture fills the space, creating a perfectly eclectic vibe where you can sit back and enjoy your surroundings. The menu has something for everyone, including speciality gin and tonics, cocktails, and wines. The drinks are strong and accompanied by delicious bar snacks. On weekends there are events such as themed parties, exhibitions, and drag shows.

Candy Darling has its roots in queer activism and strives to include all identities. There's something for everyone to enjoy here and a lovely welcoming atmosphere. Sit back and watch shows each night, from drag to circus and burlesque. There's also a mini disco room and all sorts of queer art adorning the walls. To go with your drinks, be sure to try a Bikini Darling, the local name for a ham and cheese toastie that's a speciality here.

Salvaje brings a strong Latin flavour to Barcelona's LGBTQ+ club scene, with reggaeton, Latin hits and commercial dance music running well into the early morning. Part of The Moon group, it's a proper late-night disco rather than the more bar-like The Moon Barcelona on Villarroel, so the two shouldn't be confused. The Balmes location is only a few minutes from Believe Club and Pink Corner and a short walk from the main Gaixample bars. It generally comes alive after 2am, attracting a younger mixed LGBTQ+ crowd, plenty of Latino locals and international visitors who want to keep dancing after the surrounding bars begin winding down.

BeGay is one of the most iconic beach bars in all of Barcelona, and the only gay one. This beautiful section of La Mar Bella nudist beach is elegant yet attitude-free, serving up a delicious menu of Mediterranean and international cuisine. Head to be bar for refreshing mojitos or BeGay's famous protein shakes. Enjoy all your food and drinks on the shaded terrace or in hammocks by the sand.

As the name suggests, Bacon Bear Bar attracts bears and their admires from all over the world. The bar is always packed with a truly mixed age crowd, and they're all keen to welcome visitors in. The variation of guys here makes this a favourite hangout spot for Barcelona's bear community, a lively place to go any night of the week.

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.
