Strass Barcelona

Carrer de Villarroel, 68, 08011 Barcelona, Spain

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.

Popular Bars in Barcelona

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.

The Black Room

The Black Room is a weekly Sunday dance club hosted at Club City Hall, attracting a loud, masculine, and super cruisy crowd. The venue is huge, spread over three floors and including a large dance floor, outdoor terrace, and of course the dark room. People who come to The Black Room are looking to party hard so prepare yourself for loud music, lots of drinks, and attractive go-go dancers.

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.

HBB Barcelona

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.

Museum Bar

Museum certainly lives up to its name, as it's full of statues and paintings specially chosen to create and old-fashioned and atmospheric space. In contrast, the bar is also full of flatscreen TVs and crowds of young and trendy gay guys. Everything here is over the top in a surprisingly tasteful way that keeps Museum trendy. Normally open Friday and Saturday evenings.

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.
