Bars & pub crawls · BARCELONA BAR TOURS
The good barcelona bar tours sell out before the weekend does. Below: the 15 to book early, what each one includes and how they differ at the door.
Step into Icebarcelona at Barceloneta beach for 45 minutes at about -5°C. Your ticket includes entry, a drink served in an ice glass, a warm jacket, and gloves. See hand-carved sculptures, take photos, listen to music, then warm up on the terrace by the sea.
“It was cold and also melted a bit but still good fun.”
Walk Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter and El Born with an English-speaking guide, stopping at four local bars for nine tapas and four glasses of wine. Expect Iberian ham, Spanish cheeses, patatas bravas, octopus, and more. Guides such as Berta, Angie, Vincenzo, and Dasha are known for mixing food, history, and humor.
“The tour was excellent!! Our guide Dasha was very knowledgeable, kind and funny!! The tapas and wine were delicious and plentiful!! The choice of venues were varied and interesting! AGUITA VINS was my favorite! The other people in the group were engaging and interesting particularly the group of Taiwanese seniors..8 of them age ranging from 65-80!! So much fun!! Thank you to Dasha for sharing her knowledge and expertise about Barcelona the El Born and Gothic neighborhoods and the delicious wine and tapas from the venues!!”
Start at Milans Bar at 8:30 pm and spend about four hours visiting Barcelona bars with a guide, free shots, reduced drink prices, and group photos. The night usually ends at a club with free entry, though New Year’s Eve tickets exclude club admission. Dress smartly and wear no shorts.
“It was very amazing!!! Out tourist liulu, She showed me amazing bars in Barcelona. And on top of that thanks to her I was able to made new friends. Along with her she was friendly and great customer service”
Icebarcelona gives you about 45 minutes in a hand-carved ice lounge beside the beach. Your ticket includes one drink, an insulated jacket, and gloves. Children may enter with an adult, while alcohol is reserved for guests 18 and older. Expect a small, cold, photo-friendly stop.
“Great experience for a hendo! Delicious drinks and great music. The staff were extremely friendly and it’s in a great location. I would highly recommend.”
Start at Flaherty’s with games and a free drink, then follow your guide through Supermercat, Porteno, and Monk. Guides such as Adam, Tereza, and Vinny lead the four-hour English tour, which ends at a VIP nightclub in Barcelona’s Old Town.
“Adam was great! Kept the drinks and conversation flowing, this is a great booking for anyone who isn't sure where to get started with Old Town drinking scene.”
Begin at Santa Maria del Mar, hear strange tales of monks, brothels, and old Barcelona, then enjoy vermouth, white sangria, a local shot, and a cocktail. Guides such as Vanessa, Mariah, Thami, Lindsay, and Ivana bring a playful social energy to the night.
“Mariah was great. And everyone who attended were very friendly. It’s a great way to see the area and find folks to hang out with!”
Start at 10:30 pm with guides such as Daniela, Dominyka, Nuriel, or Nuri, then move through three Barcelona bars before VIP club entry near Barceloneta Beach. You get a social group, a metro ticket, and a welcome drink, but confirm exactly what drinks are included before booking.
“Had a great time meeting new friendly faces! Daniela was a wonderful guide, and I seriously would recommend taking part for anyone wanting to make friends in Barcelona!!”
Start at Milan’s cocktail bar at 8 p.m., then follow a guide through Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter nightlife, with stops that may include three bars, a hidden speakeasy such as Monk, and a final club. Adults only, about four hours, with an optional €20 drinks package.
“This was not a pub crawl, it was a visit to clubs. We left before it started. We were expecting pubs. It was not as the description represented.”
Join Orkhan for a 2.5-hour evening through Barcelona’s Gaixample. Visit several LGBTQ+ bars around Eixample and Passeig de Gracia, taste cocktails or alcohol-free drinks, and shape the night around your music and venue preferences.
“Orkhan was fun to talk to, energetic, and clearly knows the Barcelona gay bar scene very well. He did a great job tailoring the crawl to the interests of the group, which made the night feel personal rather than generic. The bars we visited had interesting vibes, and the pacing was spot on. Overall, it was a really enjoyable way to experience Barcelona nightlife.”
Meet your group at 10:20 pm on Passeig de Colom for a five-hour Barcelona night out with karaoke, social drinking games, a free drink and shot, bar stops, and skip-the-line club entry. Hosts named in praised outings include Sofía, Lea, Ismail, Lindsey, and Sandra, though the lineup can vary.
“The tour started one hour late, so me and the group of my friends were forced to wait in the street in the cold. What is more, after the tour started, we were waking around in circles in the public transport “going” to the next. We were forced to buy tickets. Terrible organisation. I do not recommend.”
You begin inside Icebarcelona with a cocktail served below zero in an ice glass, wearing the supplied jacket and gloves. Then move to a reserved beach terrace table for two, where Spanish Cava and chocolates await. The full visit lasts about 1 to 1.5 hours.
“Fantastic experience - would recommend. The ice bar is smaller than expected but we had it all to ourselves which made it intimate and special. Drinks served in ice glasses which is awesome and the bar tender was great taking photos and allowing us to play some of our own music on the terrace through their speakers. Sun was great that day and drinking a bottle of cava in the heat - perfect.”
Join EVOLVE in central Barcelona for a 4 to 5 hour night out through pubs and clubs near Carrer dels Escudellers, Plaça Reial, and La Rambla. Guides such as Nico, Thami, and Natalia lead the group, with games, shots, drink discounts, and club entry included.
“This experience is a great way to meet other travelers, as well as it budget friendly!! Very safe to do solo as well if you are comfortable with it. You have a guide that’s takes you to all bars and clubs, which is great because they make sure the whole group is together before leaving. It is a very safe way to explore night life in a group and meet new people! Our guide was amazing!! She took us to great smaller bars and then to the 7th best club in the world! Highly recommend!!”
Start at 10:30 p.m. for a guided Barcelona night out with free entry to several bars, a welcome shot at each stop, drink deals, and dancing at a club. Wilson is one named guide associated with the crawl. The group can include up to 50 people, and your ticket may let you join again on another night for free.
“This is one of the best pub crawl experiences in all Europe. Wilson is a master in this area, everybody felt welcome and safe. Highly recommended.”
Meet your English or Spanish-speaking host at a seventh-floor rooftop bar from 9:30 p.m. Start with drinks, light bites, and social icebreakers, then visit one of Barcelona’s major clubs, such as Pacha, Opium, Sutton, or Shoko, depending on the night.
“mi è piaciuto di più l'accoglienza da tutto lo staff e il voler aggregare il gruppo.”
Join Kiki Rebel Tours for a small-group evening through Barcelona’s craft beer scene. Meet head brewer Matt at BlackLab Brewhouse, learn how beer is made, then visit Cat Bar and Craft for more local pours, city stories, and conversation.
“This was a highlight of my visit to Barcelona. Kiki was great, very personable and open to questions. The tour started at BlackLab brewhouse and Matt, one of the proprietors gave us a detailed tour of the facility, explaining the process from start to finish. We had a beer there and then moved on to Cat Bar for another round. On the way, Kiki told us some history and pointed out some historic buildings. Finally, we went to Craft, in a building that dates back to Roman times. Another round of beer and live music. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough.”
Pick a kind of bar, or a kind of crawl.
