Popular Bars in Barcelona
The Basement Club
The Basement Club is one of the best-known gay cruise and fetish clubs in Barcelona. It's a members only club so you'll have to buy a membership at the door. Once you're inside you can expect a heavy industrial theme and large facilities including cages, private cabins, cinema lounge, showers, and wrestling area. Dress codes vary from underwear to leather and military, depending on the night.
Boxer CafeBar
This stand-out cafe style bar has a sexy twist. You'll find sporty guys, topless barmen, and people from various fetish communities gathered in the bar or outside on the street terrace. The kitchen here cooks up great food such as cakes and all your favourite bar snacks. Boxer also makes some of the best cocktails around.
Berlin Dark
Berlin Dark is a fetish and cruise club for men only, but every Wednesday they open their doors to everyone. All other nights you'll find yourself part of a crowd of super masculine guys. Be prepared to adhere to a strict dress code, leave any attitude at the door, and experience all sorts of themed events. Explore wherever your imagination can go.
Boyberry
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.
La Casa de la Pradera
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.
La Chapelle
This small space is packed with personality, mainly because you can hardly see the walls for religious artifacts and decorations. La Chapelle is certainly quirky, a place like no other in the city to enjoy cocktails with an equally quirky crowd. Drinks are reasonably priced, so the bar space is always busy, creating a cosy feel inside. Out on the terrace you can get some air and watch the night unfold.
