Guru (Barri Gòtic)

20s / 30s / Burgers / Cocktail Bar

Party Earth Review Not to be confused with the rambunctious bar with the same name on Nou de la Rambla, this Guru bar is an altogether more refined, low-key venue. A smiling Buddha in the window greets customers as they arrive, while inside, the ornate sofas, piles of plush cushions, somber browns and deep red tones, and burning incense create ... more

Chupitos

18 and over / Bar / Boisterous

Party Earth Review An animated and rowdy bar, Chupitos (Shots) specializes in creative, over-the-top shots with equally dramatic bar service. Most of the chupitos come with special performances by the bartender, some of which involve the actual bar being set on fire with a blowtorch. Not surprisingly, the house is packed every night with ... more

Party Earth Review An immensely popular club with a rich program of events, Sidecar Factory offers unpretentious entertainment every night except Sundays. On Sundays things get REALLY pretentious! Actually, they’re closed Sundays. Although the upstairs bar, with its slick red-and-white color scheme and enormous projection screen, is a fine ... more

Party Earth Review Having hosted such legends as Chet Baker and Ella Fitzgerald, Jamboree is steeped in jazz history and firmly holds its place as one of Barcelona’s best live music venues, especially since bebop and Bossa Nova are hardly all to be had here. Patrons of all ages arrive in droves for the nightly concerts, which take place ... more

L'Ovella Negra

Party Earth Review Considered by some to be the best first-stop spot in Barcelona, L’Ovella Negra is a rustic tavern whose high wood ceilings, glowing lanterns, stone floors, and cozy wood stoves create an ambiance reminiscent of a cross between the famous German beer gardens and a medieval mess hall. Once patrons have navigated their way ... more

Pitin Bar

30s / Absinthe / Ambient / Bar

Party Earth Review In 1957, a neighborhood grocery store was transformed into one of El Born’s first bars – so it’s little wonder that the local citizens have a soft spot for Pitin Bar, a cozy hole-in-the-wall joint on the square. Historic as the place may be, the décor has definitely moved on from half a century ago and now features disco ... more

Party Earth Review Tucked away on a side street in the Barri Gòtic area is a little red gem called Sugar. It’s all about the cocktails at this sweet bar, and the list of specialties written in chalk on the ceiling are well worth the neck strain.

Zentraus

Party Earth Review One of Raval’s most authentic pre-club bars, Zentraus is a hip joint that draws a large crowd of music lovers looking for an underground vibe.

Party Earth Review Hidden away on a narrow street in El Raval, Soho is an authentic Moroccan-run hookah bar offering a distinct change of pace from the frantic Las Ramblas just a stone’s throw away. The bar’s open front cleverly encourages passersby to stop in, take off their shoes, and pull up one of the leather cushions scattered on the ... more

Party Earth Review With its retro lamps, threadbare sofas, and empty picture frames, Ambar feels a bit like hanging out in a friend’s basement, surrounded by their family’s unwanted stuff.

Barcelona Bars Overview

El Xampanyet - Tapas Bar | Spanish Restaurant | Historic Bar in Barcelona

The endless array of bars in Barcelona are certainly not as crazy as their club and nightlife counterparts, but the bars still get going late, pack a great drinking punch, and many stay open well into the wee hours of the night.

Ubiquitous to Barcelona’s nightlife are the many cerveserias (bars) that echo with the noisy chatter of customers hustling for seats and service. Many groups start off the night in Las Ramblas as party-hoppers pop in and out of the area’s drinking dens and bars on their way to the evening’s final destination. Different types of bars include coctelerías (cocktail bars), whiskerias (whiskey bars), xampanyerias (sparkling wine bars), and many beer halls. In addition, Barcelona is also known for its great beach bars, upscale cocktail and mixology spots, hookah bars, and wine bars.

More relaxed and less touristy Barcelona bars can be found along the outskirts of the city, where the center’s frenetic pace gives way to a more tranquil way of life, while a vibrant gay scene has found a home in the neighborhood of L'Eixample and hosts a plethora of gay bars and other venues to party in.
