Las Ramblas
Las Ramblas is considered one of Barcelona’s busiest places during the day, so by the time night draws in, streets are filled with performing artists and eager onlookers. Kiosk La Cazalla and Boulevard Culture Club are named as some of the best places to go, so they should definitely be on your hit-list. Le Pop Cocktail Bar has a great reputation when it comes to classier affairs, and has a huge list of cocktails and sparkling aperitifs for you to work your way through. Award-winning mixologist Juan Jose has compiled the bar’s “Sparkling Menu” which features things like the Catalan Bellini which is made with locally produced Gin Mare and sparkling Cava wine.
Gothic Quarter
Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter is a great place to head if you’re wanting to expand your social circle and meet new people during your travels. As well as having a more authentic Spanish feel to it, the Gothic Quarter is home to a whole host of British and Irish pubs if you’re seeking a taste of home. There is also a fantastic flamenco show in this district, which has been dubbed one of the best flamenco shows in Spain!

There’s a whole host of trendy cafes and bars, all serving up unforgettable cocktails. Miramelindo has some delicious cocktails on offer from mojitos to caipirinhas, but the speciality has to be the cava cocktail.
Raval District
The Raval District is the ideal place for electronic music lovers who sure know how to party. The Hipsters Bar Crawl is one of the most raved about things to do here, and it’ll take you on an authentic nightlife experience in Barcelona city. You’ll start the night at a lowkey cafe where you can meet the other bar crawlers and enjoy a delicious mojito, chilled glass of cava or a good old beer. Then your local guide will take you on a tour of the best bars, like the one where Hemingway once drank absinthe, to hard-to-find backstreet boozers and live music venues, finishing at a late night hotspot where you can dance the night away. The bar crawl costs €25 per person, and for this you get a free premium cocktail plus your expert local tour guide. The night finishes with free entry into a late night entry spot.

Despite being found in one of the more ‘luxe’ districts, you can still grab a bargain here like 50 cent wings between 7 and 10pm on Mondays, wine Wednesdays where you can grab a bottle for €10 from 7pm to midnight and thirsty Thursday from 11pm ‘til 2am where you can get your hands on €2 shots and €4 Sex On La Barceloneta!
Gracia

Here you can enjoy a laid back, cosy atmosphere paired with delicious food and even better service.
El Poble Sec
Many of Barcelona’s best restaurants, art institutions, and bars can be found in the Spanish quarter of El Poble Sec, which is a former dry town. It is now a far cry from its history and has become a great place for late-night shenanigans in Barcelona. Gran Bodega Saltó is a small and quirky space, with walls lined with figurines, stuffed animals and a plethora of antiques. Their wine is so good that neighbours line up to fill their jugs from the barrels each evening. Tribal Cafe is a quirky bar with handmade puppets that line the brick walls and dim lighting which exudes mystery. It’s here that’s been celebrated for making the best mojito in El Poble Sec!
Port Olimpic
Port Olimpic, home of post bars, beach clubs and boat parties! For the ultimate up-market experience in Barcelona, Port Olimpic is the place to be.
