Dmens is located in the heart of Eixample. This is one of the newer gay bars in the area, run by the popular Moeem and Grupo Arena. Entry is free and the bar opens earlier in the evening that most other places in the area, so you can start your night early with plenty of drinks and party till morning. The space is small but beautifully lit with neon lights, complete with a bar serving cocktails, plus DJs and dancing.

Colourful, political and proudly queer, Lo de Carmen offers something refreshingly different from the predominantly male bar scene in Gaixample. Drag, karaoke, DJs and community events feature regularly, with an especially welcoming approach to trans, non-binary and gender-diverse guests. The venue sits on Paral·lel between Sant Antoni and Poble-sec, away from the main Eixample cluster but close to the more alternative LGBTQ+ scene around venues such as La Federica and Bar Rufián. The crowd is broad, creative and local-feeling, mixing queer women, gay men, trans and non-binary people rather than aiming at one particular demographic.

Boyberry is one of the more laid-back men-only cruising clubs in Barcelona, where you can go for some casual cruising and a few drinks. There are lots of different play areas to explore, plenty of cabins, and adult videos playing around the venue. Boyberry even has an on-site adult shop, so it's well worth a visit no matter the time of day.

Open Mind is one of Barcelona's most popular gay cruise and fetish clubs, offering a space to play without limits. You'll have to buy a membership at the door to access this exclusive club, and once you're in you'll find it full of guys with all sorts of interests. Visit on themed nights to find your crowd as the club caters to everything from leather to military. There's also a super popular "no dress code" night amongst other dress code events.

This is a bar that welcomes the entire LGBTQ+ community, located in the historic center of the city, and has been serving a super mixed crowd for over 10 years. They offer good food, beer on tap to enjoy outside on the terrace, and a generally relaxed place to hang out with friends. Inclusive and slightly alternative vibes attract a wonderful range of people and give the bar a real community feel.
