A Guide to Barcelona's Nightlife Scene

I discovered this place 4 years ago approximately and been going a lot, it's kind of my safe spot when I need to be out of my house but still feel safe and be alone. It's a free small cinema with a digital archive with a lot of experimental films. I highly recommend this spot. 

This is another cinema recommendation but this time it is an actual movie theatre. I think the most beautiful one I have been in and they also show the best selection of movies, old ones and contemporary also. Fun fact, I was there last year for their Halloween experience, and never had that much fun on Halloween, it was amazing. 

This is a vintage shop based in the centre of Barcelona, they have a really nice selection, handpicked and top quality with a lot of Vintage designer clothes and also they have a space (if i'm not wrong) for new designer clothes like Espiritu Club. They also have the nicest dressing rooms ever. 

This is an archival clothing store + record store. Been here a lot to check for weird archive pieces, they have a really nice selection of unique clothes, shoes and accessories. 

A new natural wine and music bar also based in the centre (Raval). I'm not really a drinker, so what I usually look in bars when I go is a place where I can chill and talk with my friends, is more the atmosphere of the place, the ambience they create, and here I felt super comfortable, regarding the people working there and the crowd also. Plus they have an old piano as a table, cute af. 

A vegan restaurant near the beach. I really like this place, especially around summer, they have a nice set up and nice vegan food, i'm not vegan but still enjoy vegan food a loot. All their menus are delicious. I especially recommend their vegan nachos. 

If you are looking for the best sandwiches it's here for sure. They have lots of options, including gluten free and vegan options. Plus the space inside is really cute and they also have a terrace to sit outside. 

This recommendation can be maybe the most mainstream one but since I discovered this place I have been going a lot when I have the time. I feel good here, it's kind of an oasis in the city to me, love going here alone with my headphones and just spending hours. Wont say much about the place, you just have to go! It's a small fragment of the rainforest. I feel really relaxed in these kinds of environments, like humid deep green places.

MARICAS

Fridays and Saturdays at La Concha are unforgettable nights that for some reason get filled with lesbians while DJs play tracks such as 2 Times by Ann Lee, Bla Bla Bla by Gigi D'Agostino or Better Off Alone by Alice Deejay.

Raval’s finest classic queer Almodòbar vibes bar. It was the only place we went to for years. It’s a meet up for all queers in Barcelona, owned by queer individuals. A must in Barcelona.

For some reason this classic neighbourhood Spanish bar gets filled by queers. It’s the perfect place to go for some beers, cheese and ham with friends on a chilled week night.

This is our favourite celebration dinner place. It’s a bit pricey, but perfect if you want to have some natural wine and exquisite Mediterranean food. Make sure you get some service by Jeanne – a young version of Shane from The L Word.

Books, magazines, posters and a lot more at Barcelona’s queer-owned first kiosk. A must for some reading and coffee.

The first Sunday of every month Queer Pong Club hosts a day and night event for lesbians to play with darts, pool, ping-pong and more.

The Best Queer Spots in Barcelona, Selected by Maricas

Wekaforé

Home of Barcelona football club. The past few times I've gone to see them has been ridiculous because they're too good. During the day it's packed and there are thousands of people on the streets

There’s a museum up the stairs which is cool. If you go running at night time up to the Montjuic there’s the Olympic stadium, which was renovated in 1989 for the Barcelona Olympics. It’s quiet and it's beautiful.

Twice a week, a select few people are invited to partake in an Egosex rehearsal in their studio in Poblenou. The band classifies their music as ‘Jungle Trance Blues’ and is best when heard live

A place for all the young fashion designers in Barcelona trying to realise their ideas. Martin and his team are the most passionate and down to earth catalysts in the city behind the curtains

Wekaforé's Top Spots in Barcelona

We love La Central. It’s a really nice breakfast spot. They have delicious food, for instance pan con tomato which is really Catalan. They also have nice coffee. The special thing about this place is that it’s an actual book store.

Carlos & Matilda is the project of our dear friends. It’s a dedicated designer cocktail spot in the middle of the Gothic area. They’ve got a beautiful terrace.

This is my friend Anna’s place. Her artist name is Pannks and she’s an independent nail artist from Barcelona. She’s really affiliated with the whole underground urban scene of the city, working with all the underground urban artists.

La Huella is our workout spot. It’s where we started building up all this muscle haha. Thanks to our trainer, Danny. It’s our go-to spot for personal training and crossfit.

INST Berlin is where we come to do our hair. It’s created by Adrian Alban, who’s a really good friend of ours. It’s become the spot in the city to get your hair cut.

The Joan Miro Foundation is named after iconic painter Joan Miro. They are exhibiting a part of his incredible work. It’s also a beautiful venue from which you have incredible views of the city. We also recommend walking around Montjuïc park which is around the building.

Of all the bars I really like Quimet. They have tapas and conservas. I used to live really close so this was the bar I went to all the time

It's the best party in Barcelona. You'll need to drink but it's definitely the best party in town

This place is really special. When we had the Olympics here they built a pool with a super high trampoline where you can see all of Barcelona. They built a shitty bar there too, it’s not fancy at all but that’s why I like it. It’s good for the views, having a beer with your friends and watching the sunset

I really like this gallery. It's also in Montjuic so stop by when you're there

I really like pizza and Italian food. It’s really good here. It’s a bit expensive, but not super expensive and they have really good wines. It's run by two twin brothers and I really recommend this one I love it. Everything’s super good, the spaghetti and squid ink pasta super good

It's super crowded but they've opened an exhibition on Picasso with photography which is really nice. I've been lucky to have been documenting the installation and stuff so I got a sneak peek. There are loads of cool sculptures too.

I've been going here since I was super young - this is a good club to go to in Barcelona

We’re super lucky in Barcelona to have the sea here, it's super important for me. Whenever I have some free space, I used to go to where the beach is separated by stones because I hate sand. I have my own stone that I sit on, relax and have my legs in the water. I really like this stone. There’s not thousands of tourists so you can be chill alone and naked too

Shawarma or falafel - get the Shawarma special - the food is so heartfelt you can taste it

Really good sound system, not many bands do but we played here a while ago

Great selection of DJs and a great sound system - the Brilliant Corners team helped set it up

The best record shop in town in a great location with good bars close by
