Gingin Gay Bar Barcelona Details

When in Barcelona’s Gaixample, your gaydar might just lead you across from the famous Axel Hotel to the delightfully intimate Gingin Gay Bar. Found in the LGBTQ+ district, Gingin is the perfect cocktail of cozy vibes and stellar service—thanks to their legendary Ginboys who know exactly how to shake, stir, and serve your evening to perfection. The decor vibes feel like 1960s sitcom about friends who run a queer bar. From pop art to glowing “G I N” plastered on the walls, and leopard print panels make the vibe pretty special.

Whether you're a gin aficionado or just looking to sip something sensational while mingling with the local Spanish charmers, Gingin’s specialty gin & tonics are the ultimate way to get your night off to a sparkling start. And don't just take their word for it; Gingin Gay Bar is part of the Believe Group BCN, the masterminds behind Barcelona’s top LGBTIQ+ nightlife. With a portfolio of iconic venues like Priscilla Café, Believe Club, and Elvira Cafe, they've been serving visibility and celebrating diversity since 2017.

So, why not make Gingin Gay Bar your go-to spot for a fabulous evening? Come for the gin, stay for the good times, and embrace the space where you can be nothing but your fabulous self. The night is young, and so are you—let’s toast to that! Whether you are a gin enthusiast or just want to meet some local Spaniards, Gingin Gay Bar in Barcelona is a great place to start.

Barcelona Queer Bars

Craving the crème de la crème of Barcelona’s LGBTQ+ nightlife? Honey, your search ends here! First up, El Cangrejo Raval is the sequel you didn’t know you needed to the legendary El Cangrejo Eixample. This lively spot is where the LGBTQ+ crowd comes together, with a dance floor that’s always bumping and beats that’ll have you shaking what your mama gave you to international and Spanish pop hits from the past few decades. If pop music is your jam and dancing is your cardio, consider this your happy place.

Next, let’s talk about Plata Cocktail Bar—a true hidden gem in the gay bar scene that oozes warmth and welcome. Picture this: a cozy street terrace perfect for people-watching, nibbling on mouthwatering bites, and sipping on cocktails that are just as fabulous as you are. With disco balls spinning and lights twinkling, Plata sets the mood just right—think cozy vibes with cocktails that are anything but ordinary!

If bears are more your type, then Bacon Bear Bar is calling your name. This bustling den is the ultimate hangout for gay bears and their admirers, especially on weekends when it’s packed tighter than your favorite pair of skinny jeans. Known for its themed parties that everyone in town talks about, it’s definitely worth stalking their social media to see what’s hot when you’re in town.

And let’s not forget Dmen’s—smack in the heart of Gaixample. This lively queer music bar/club is a vibe all its own, with a playlist that mixes disco, dance, and house beats to keep you grooving all night long. If you’re looking to amp up the fun, make sure you’re there on the weekend for their spectacular drag shows. Trust us, darling, you won’t want to miss it!
