Visit EqualdexAt Belladona, Barcelona’s glittering gem in the Gayxample district, the spotlight is always on fun, fabulousness, and a fierce good time. Step inside this lively cabaret and let Ddivine, the drag queen extraordinaire, whisk you away on a wild ride of campy entertainment and mouthwatering Mediterranean delights. Think classic Catalan-French cuisine with a side of high heels and wigs – a combo you didn’t know you needed, but trust us, you do! This is a popular spot to start out the night, eat dinner, have some cocktails, and then head out to other Barcelona gay bars.
This isn’t just a dinner, darling, it’s a full-on spectacle! The iconic Divine (and no, not that John Waters' Divine, but equally fabulous and fun) commands the stage with an electric mix of live music, dancing, and, of course, her signature drag shows that keep the crowd roaring with laughter and applause. The venue’s lively, colorful decor sets the perfect backdrop for an evening where every moment is larger than life.
Reservations? Absolutely. This house fills up quicker than a queen can say, “Lip-sync for your life!” So, book ahead if you want to snag a front-row seat to the action. Whether you're in the mood to be dazzled by the drag or simply enjoy a dinner that’s as flamboyant as it is delicious, Belladona is your go-to for a night out that’s dripping in charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent.
