Imperial BCN

Carrer d'Aribau, 46, 08011 Barcelona, Spain

Imperial is a substantial two-level gay and queer fetish club combining music and socialising upstairs with a much more adventurous cruising area below. Across roughly 600 square metres you'll find bars, a dance floor, chill-out areas and an extensive play zone with cabins and other fetish facilities.

It's right in Gaixample on Aribau, opposite the Axel Hotel and just along from Gingin, so it slots easily into a night around the surrounding gay bars. Events vary considerably, from general LGBTQ+ parties to leather, underwear and kink-focused nights, attracting gay men and a broader sex-positive queer crowd. Check the night's theme or dress expectations before visiting.

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.

Bar Rufian

This popular cafe bar tends to attract a mixed and alternative crowd, including people from across the LGBTQ+ community. Bar Rufian has a uniquely styled interior that is simultaneously spacious and cosy, with high ceilings and an eclectic vintage decor. Locals know this place for its food so be sure to try delicious sandwiches and tapas as well as all your favourite drinks.

La Sastrería

La Sastrería packs a lot into a relatively compact Gaixample bar, with drag performances, bingo, DJs and themed nights creating a lively schedule through the week. Drinks and entertainment are the main focus, and the atmosphere tends to become increasingly energetic as the evening moves on. It's in one of the densest parts of Barcelona's gay neighbourhood: HBB is effectively next door, while DMEN'S and Priscilla are just along Consell de Cent and many more bars are within a few blocks. Expect a sociable mix of gay locals and visitors, with drag nights drawing an especially broad LGBTQ+ crowd.

Open Mind Barcelona

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.

Lo de Carmen

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.

Bacon Bear Bar

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.
