Barcelona Nightlife

Barcelona Restaurants
Barcelona has a fine selection of clubs, many of which are the haunts of the
city's celebrities and its self-proclaimed 'beautiful people'. Entrance fees
vary according to what entertainment they have planned and you'll get into some
for free if you arrive early enough though there might be nobody else there. In
general, clubs don't start to fill up before 1am at the earliest and keep going
until sunrise. Here are just a few of the better known clubs around town most of
which operate a strict dress code so if you're planning on clubbing be sure to
dress accordingly.
Here I've listed a good cross section of clubs in Barcelona with their websites.
I'd suggest that you take a look around these sites before traveling to get a
feel for the different clubs which should help you decide which ones are for you
when you get there. You can find more information about many of these clubs at

Elephant
Passatge dels Til.lers, 1
Metro: Zona Universitaria
Website: www.elephantbcn.com
This is a typical party night club. The music does not start here until 1am but
often cocktails are served beforehand, and getting in early means no cover
charge There are fast DJs, great beats, and good music for the younger, hipper
crowd. This is often a great party scene, a place to both start and end your
night.

the hen parties might be frowned upon. The crowd is a little more mature which
adds to the rich atmosphere.

Website: www.bajabeach.es/
The Beach Club is a laid back and loose party atmosphere. It is a place to end
the night with feisty music and an enjoyable crowd. This is often one of the
last clubs open, just past dawn, so it might be the best place to finish up.

place where the beach goers and the party crowd love to be.
