Barcelona's nightlife starts late and runs until dawn. The city has everything from beach clubs to underground techno venues.
The Big Clubs
Razzmatazz (5 rooms, different music each) is the go-to. Sala Apolo for indie/electronic on Fridays. Input for serious techno. Guest lists matter — our concierges handle this.
Rooftop Bars
Terrat at the Mandarin Oriental for cocktails with cathedral views. The Serras rooftop overlooking Port Vell. Arrive before 8pm for a table without a reservation.
Beach Scene
Chiringuitos along Barceloneta are great in summer but avoid Opium and Shôko — tourist traps with inflated prices. Head to Bogatell beach bars instead.
