Barcelona at night

An evening concert? Dining out? Dancing until the early hours? Having a drink with friends? Discovering an iconic landmark at night or enjoying Museum Night? Whatever your plan, you'll find it in Barcelona. In summer, there are even more options to enjoy, like Summer Nights or the activities held at city hotels. And all year round, cocktail bars, restaurants, clubs, live music venues and much more are waiting to help you conquer the night. The waterfront offers a chance to enjoy nightlife by the sea: a universe of bars, restaurants, clubs and even a casino in a truly Mediterranean atmosphere. Another way to explore Barcelona’s nightlife is neighborhood by neighborhood, each offering its own unique and distinctive vibe.

  • Born: Sophisticated and cozy restaurants, bars and cocktail lounges nestled in medieval streets — perfect for dinner and a drink.
  • Eixample: A wide variety of clubs, bars and restaurants offer music and cuisine for all tastes and ages. The Gaixample is also known for its LGBTQI+ nightlife and cultural offerings in an open, tolerant atmosphere.
  • Gràcia: A bohemian vibe with charming, surprising venues tucked into corners of the neighborhood. In summer, terraces fill the squares, and its August festival makes it a city hotspot.
  • Poblenou: Large clubs and spacious bars located in repurposed factories offer indie rock, contemporary pop and alternative music.
  • Raval: A multicultural, eclectic district with vibrant nightlife and both exotic and local cuisine. Bohemian bars add charm to Barcelona’s nightlife.
  • Sant Gervasi: In the uptown area, a lively scene of bars and clubs provides a chic environment to relax and enjoy the night.
