Pink Corner BCN

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.

Inclusive and slightly alternative vibes attract a wonderful range of people and give the bar a real community feel.

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.
