Punto BCN

About

Punto BCN is more than just a venue; it’s a legendary landmark in Barcelona’s famous Gaixample district. Every traveler’s gay map should have this spot circled as the definitive starting point for a night out in Spain’s most vibrant city. Known for its welcoming, unpretentious vibe, this spacious gay bar caters to a beautifully diverse crowd—from local gay men to international queer explorers of all ages. The bar spans two distinct levels, featuring a sleek downstairs area for mingling and a mezzanine level complete with a pool table for a bit of cheeky competition. While many LGBTQ+ hotspots in Barcelona don't get moving until very late, Punto BCN is famous for its early-evening energy. It is the quintessential pre-party destination where you can enjoy Spanish pop hits, sip on well-poured cocktails, and snack on their signature complimentary popcorn. As part of the iconic Arena group, the friendly staff at Punto BCN often distribute free entry passes to the city’s biggest dance clubs, making it a savvy first stop before hitting the dance floor. Whether you’re looking to make new friends or soak in the electric atmosphere of Carrer de Muntaner, Punto BCN remains a cornerstone of the local community, offering the perfect mix of classic charm and modern nightlife energy.
