Best Barcelona Bar Crawls: 8 Crawls Worth Booking

The best Barcelona bar crawl is the Speakeasy Crawl, Hidden Bars with Optional Tapas. It holds 4.6/5 from 263 reviews — more reviews than any other crawl in this guide — and instead of herding you through the loudest rooms on La Rambla, it spends 4 hours slipping into hidden speakeasies and serious cocktail bars behind unmarked doors, in groups of around ten, starting inside Milan’s Cocktail in the Gothic Quarter. If you book one Barcelona bar crawl, book that one.

This guide ranks the eight Barcelona bar crawls on GetYourGuide that are actually worth your time, and they split into two families. The first is the classic club crawl: a social warm-up in a bar, then VIP entry to one of the big beach clubs — Opium, Pacha, Shoko — with no queue. The second is the craft end of the market: the speakeasy crawl above, a rooftop-to-club route through El Raval and El Born, and the small LGBTQ+ crawl through Gaixample. For the city after dark in general, our guide to Barcelona at night covers the wider scene; this page is only about the bookable crawls. Prices run from $13.06 to $33.60. On booking terms, four crawls state free cancellation on their booking pages — the Gaixample crawl (4), the AfterDark tour (6), the Karaoke crawl (7) and the Bar Crawl Group (8) — and those four plus the Speakeasy Crawl (1) state reserve now, pay later; the other three state neither, and this guide claims neither for them.

One honest note before the list: this market is uneven, and its numbers need reading with care. The biggest club crawl holds the lowest score in the guide, two crawls wear a perfect 5.0/5 built on nine and sixteen reviews respectively, and several big-sounding listings could not be verified well enough to include at all. Where the evidence is thin, each section below says so plainly.

1. Best Overall: Speakeasy Crawl, Hidden Bars with Optional Tapas

Best for: Anyone who wants Barcelona’s hidden cocktail-bar scene, not the mega-club circuit
Rating: 4.6/5 from 263 reviews
From: $33.60
Duration: 4 hours

This is the crawl for people who find most crawls faintly embarrassing. It meets inside Milan’s Cocktail on Carrer de Milans, in the lanes our Gothic Quarter guide walks by day, and spends four hours on the city’s hidden drinking dens: prohibition-styled speakeasies behind unmarked entrances, creative cocktail lounges where the mixing is the point, and local favourites most visitors walk straight past. Groups stay small — around ten — and the guides reviewers praise by name, Jordan and Sergio among them, run it as a story-led evening about Barcelona’s cocktail culture and Catalan traditions rather than a drinking contest. Its 263 reviews are the deepest base in this guide by a wide margin, and the venues rotate by night and availability, so no two runs are identical.

Now the plain caveats. At $33.60 it is the most expensive crawl here, and the ticket buys the guiding, not the drinks: everything you drink is pay-as-you-go, and the optional tapas board with three drinks costs €20 extra. One reviewer counted four venues across the night, which is a deliberate, slower pace than the club crawls below deliver. And while its booking page states reserve now, pay later, free cancellation is not among the terms it advertises, so this guide does not claim it. None of that dents the verdict — it is the best-reviewed, best-loved night out in this market by an enormous margin.

Book it if: you want the crawl that treats Barcelona’s bars as the destination — hidden doors, serious cocktails, a small group and a guide who knows the stories.

2. Best for Big-Club Nights: Original Party Tour & Top Nightclub Experience

Best for: Clubbers who want one of the famous beach clubs, with the queue handled
Rating: 3.9/5 from 183 reviews
From: $20.13
Duration: 3–5 hours

Strip away the packaging and this is a club night with a social launchpad. Your Tribe’s hosts meet the group at a bar for a welcome hour — karaoke, beer pong, light bites — then walk everyone past the queue and through VIP entry at one top club, a different one each night: Opium or CDLC on Mondays, Shoko or Pacha on Tuesdays, Sutton or CDLC on Wednesdays, Pacha or Shoko on Thursdays, Opium or Twenties on Fridays, Otto Zutz or Twenties on Saturdays, Shoko or Sutton on Sundays. With 183 reviews it has the second-deepest evidence base in this guide, reviewers single out guide Chakib for keeping the group together and the energy up, and the formula clearly works for travellers whose real goal is a big room, a famous DJ and no door drama.

Read its score plainly, though: 3.9/5 is the lowest rating in this guide, and it sits on that deep base, so it is a real signal rather than small-sample noise. This is also not a multi-bar crawl in the speakeasy sense — one welcome bar, then one club — and at peak times the group can swell to around 80 people, which is either a party or a crowd depending on your taste. One reviewer noted the promised icebreaker games never actually happened on their night. Its booking page shows neither free cancellation nor reserve now, pay later among its stated terms, so this guide claims neither. Book it for the club, with your expectations set by that 3.9.

Book it if: the night is about ending up inside Opium, Pacha or Shoko with VIP entry sorted — and a big, loud group is part of the fun, not a drawback.

3. Best Rooftop-to-Club Route: Rooftop & Nightlife Tour with VIP Club Entry

Best for: Travellers who want a planned route — rooftop, bars, then a club — with a host all night
Rating: 4.5/5 from 103 reviews
From: $20.90
Duration: 4–4.5 hours

Most crawls keep their route vague; this one publishes its homework. The night starts at 20:00 on the panoramic rooftop of the Barceló Raval, moves to The Old Irish Pub at 21:00, then Savannah at 21:45, Monk Barcelona at 22:30 and Bar Sauvage at 23:15, and finishes with VIP entry to Club Sauvage at midnight — a sweep through El Raval, La Rambla, the Gothic Quarter and El Born with a local host running the timings. Reviewers praise host Sergio by name again and again, for communication from the moment of booking as much as for the night itself, and at 4.5/5 from 103 reviews it holds the strongest score-to-evidence balance of any club-bound crawl here. The rooftop opening is also the photographer’s stop of the night — the same dusk-over-the-rooftops light our Barcelona photography spots guide chases. A private option exists if your group wants the route to yourselves.

The caveats are written into its own page. The exact venues may change depending on availability, capacity and events, so treat that itinerary as the shape of the night rather than a contract. Nothing on its page promises included drinks, so budget for your own rounds on top of the $20.90 ticket. And its booking page shows neither free cancellation nor reserve now, pay later among its stated terms, so this guide claims neither — book it once your evening is fixed.

Book it if: you like a night with a timetable — a rooftop at dusk, four bars with a host who herds kindly, and a club door opened for you at the end.

4. Best LGBTQ+ Night: Bar Crawl at Gaixample

Best for: LGBTQ+ travellers — and anyone who wants the warmest small-group night in this guide
Rating: 4.8/5 from 83 reviews
From: $22.41
Duration: 2.5 hours

The highest-rated crawl in this guide is also the smallest. Guide Orkhan leads groups of no more than five through Gaixample, the Eixample blocks that form Barcelona’s gay district, starting on Passeig de Gràcia and finishing at Plaça Universitat — and the format is closer to a hosted evening with a knowledgeable local than to a party bus. Orkhan asks the group what kind of bars they like and shapes the route around the answers; reviewers describe drag performances, well-chosen bars each with a different vibe, and solo travellers — including solo women — feeling looked after. Its sub-scores tell the same story: 4.9/5 for the guide, 4.7/5 for value for money, inside that 4.8/5 headline from 83 reviews. It is also one of the flexible bookings here: its page states free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund, and reserve now, pay later, so you can book a spot and pay nothing today.

Two things to know before you book. Since June 2025, city regulations mean the crawl accepts only private, solo or couple requests — there is no big joinable group to blend into, which is either its charm or its limit. And the provider is explicit that this is not a drinking-focused activity: drinks are not included, some stops carry an additional fee, and nobody is required to drink at all. If you want the queer district’s bars with context, company and zero pressure, nothing else in this guide does it.

Book it if: you want Gaixample introduced by a guide reviewers adore, in a group small enough to feel personal — a hosted night out, not a pub-crawl production line.

5. Best Classic Pub Crawl: Pub Crawl — Rooftop + 2 Bars & VIP Club Entry

Best for: Solo travellers and hostel crowds who want the big, social, games-led night
Rating: 4.1/5 from 40 reviews
From: $16.80
Duration: One night, from 22:00

This is the textbook Barcelona pub crawl, run every night of the week. It kicks off at 22:00 at a rooftop bar on one of the city’s most iconic boulevards, where you collect a wristband and break the ice over beer pong and drinking games; from there a guide leads the group through two hand-picked bars and into one of the top nightclubs, all with VIP entry and no queues. Reviewers describe the crowd growing from around 20 at the rooftop to more than 100 by the club, name the beach clubs Shoko, Opium and Pacha as finishing points, and praise guides Chakib and Elena for running the chaos kindly. If your Barcelona plan is one big social night where you arrive alone and leave with a crowd, this is the format that invented it.

Now the plain print, because this listing asks for it. The operator advertises “863+ five-star reviews (4.9 average)” — on Google and TripAdvisor. On GetYourGuide itself it holds 4.1/5 from 40 reviews, a good-but-not-glowing score on a modest base, and the gap between the two numbers is worth knowing before you book. GetYourGuide also lists its duration inconsistently, so the honest summary is the one its own description gives: a night that starts at 22:00 and ends on a club dance floor. And its booking page shows neither free cancellation nor reserve now, pay later among its stated terms, so this guide claims neither.

Book it if: you want the classic format at full scale — rooftop start, games, two bars, a hundred new acquaintances and VIP club entry to finish.

6. Best for Variety: AfterDark Bar Tour & Beachfront Nightlife

Best for: Travellers who want four different kinds of night in one ticket — tacos, beachfront, ice bar, club
Rating: 5.0/5 from 16 reviews
From: $15.94
Duration: 6 hours

The longest and most varied night in this guide packs four formats into six hours. It starts on Passeig de Colom with tacos and drinks included at the first venue — the one crawl here that feeds you — then moves to a beachfront venue on the Barceloneta strip, steps into Icebarcelona, the city’s frozen bar, for 45 minutes, and finishes with entry to a final club. A host coordinates entry at every stop, the group is adults-only (18+, with ID required for venue entry), and at $15.94 it is the second-cheapest ticket in the guide. It is also a flexible booking: its page states free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund, and reserve now, pay later, so you can book a spot and pay nothing today.

Read that perfect score the way this guide reads every small number: 5.0/5 rests on just sixteen reviews, and the reviews GetYourGuide shows skew heavily to travellers from one country — delighted, but a narrow slice. The route also has fine print: some stops are marked optional or carry an extra fee, including The Mood Barcelona, so the full four-venue version may cost more than the ticket; and one reviewer’s talk of unlimited drinks goes beyond what the inclusions actually promise, which is tacos and drinks at the first venue. Its own rules are strict, too — heavily intoxicated guests can be refused entry or removed without refund. Book it for the variety, with your eyes open about the extras.

Book it if: one night is all you have and you want it to contain multitudes — food first, a beachfront bar, an ice bar and a club, all hosted.

7. Best Karaoke Crawl: No. 1 Pub Crawl with Karaoke and Beach Club Entry

Best for: Groups who bond fastest over a microphone — karaoke first, clubs after
Rating: 5.0/5 from 9 reviews
From: $30.76
Duration: 5 hours

Every crawl needs an icebreaker, and this one’s is a song. The night opens in a karaoke bar, where the singing and social games do the introductions, then moves through a games bar and a beach-area venue into local clubs to finish — five hours across the different faces of Barcelona nightlife, led by local guides reviewers name with real affection: Maz, Furkan and Durian are praised as funny, responsible and determined that nobody feels left out. The rules are club-standard: 18+ only, valid ID (a copy is accepted), smart casual dress, and no sportswear or flip-flops if you want to get through the final doors. Its booking terms are the flexible kind — its page states free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund, and reserve now, pay later.

The honesty box matters most exactly where the score looks best. That 5.0/5 is built on nine reviews, every one of them five stars and every one posted within a few weeks of this guide being checked — as thin an evidence base as a perfect score can have. At $30.76 it is also the second-priciest crawl here, ahead of tours with ten times its reviews, and drinks and food are not included at that price. The venues and their order can change with the night of the week. None of this says the night is bad — the nine people who reviewed it clearly had a wonderful time — but you are booking a promising newcomer at a premium price, not a proven institution.

Book it if: karaoke is your group’s love language and you are happy to pay a little extra for a small, new, clearly joyful operation.

8. Best Budget Crawl: Barcelona Bar Crawl Group

Best for: Budget travellers who still want the full format — three bars, hosts, and a big club finish
Rating: 4.5/5 from 8 reviews
From: $13.06
Duration: 3 hours (the club then runs until 5:30–6:00)

The cheapest ticket in this guide buys a surprisingly complete crawl. Los Patos Barcelona’s hosts meet you at the first bar — some nights a karaoke bar — introduce you around the group, then lead the night through three bars with drink offers and games, finishing with VIP entry to one club from a rota that runs to Opium, Shoko, Sutton, Otto Zutz, KU, Jamboree, Twenties or CDLC. The ticket covers the three bar entries, the wristband, the hosts and casual photos through the night, and the booking terms are flexible: its page states free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund, and reserve now, pay later. Its boldest promise is a numbers guarantee — at least 40 travellers on the night, or you can request a full refund — which tells you exactly what kind of night this is: a big one, every night, rain or shine.

The fine print is the flip side of that promise. A crawl that guarantees 40 people is never going to feel intimate, and drinks are not included — the bars make drink offers, but your rounds are your own cost. The evidence base is the thinnest in this guide: 4.5/5 from eight reviews, two of which give it three stars. The dress code is real, too — 18+ only, valid photo ID required at the club, smart casual with closed shoes, and no sportswear. GetYourGuide lists the duration as “3 hours – 3 days” across its ticket options; the hosted crawl is the 3 hours, and the club simply keeps going until 5:30 or 6:00 if you do.

Book it if: your budget says $13 but your night says three bars and a famous club — and a guaranteed crowd sounds like a feature, not a warning.

How to Choose the Right Barcelona Bar Crawl

• Your first crawl, or your only one: take the Speakeasy Crawl (1). It is the only crawl here with hundreds of reviews behind it, and it shows you the hidden-bar Barcelona you could never find alone.
• You mainly want a famous club: the Original Party Tour (2) and the Pub Crawl (5) both exist to deliver VIP entry to the likes of Opium, Pacha and Shoko — tour 2 is a welcome hour plus one club, tour 5 is the longer multi-bar build-up.
• You want a route, not a lottery: the Rooftop & Nightlife Tour (3) publishes its itinerary — rooftop, four named bars, Club Sauvage — though the venues can still change on the night.
• You want the LGBTQ+ scene: the Gaixample crawl (4) is the guide’s highest-rated night and its smallest group; it is bars and conversation, not a club crawl.
• You want food and novelty in the ticket: the AfterDark tour (6) is the only one that includes anything edible — tacos and drinks at the first venue — plus the Icebarcelona stop, but watch for optional stops at extra fees.
• You are travelling on a budget: the Bar Crawl Group (8) is $13.06, and pairing it with the city’s free highlights from our free things to do in Barcelona guide keeps the whole trip cheap.
• Group size, honestly: these crawls run from a maximum of about five (4) and around ten (1) to a guaranteed minimum of forty (8) and a crowd that can pass a hundred by club time (5). Pick the scale you actually enjoy.
• Booking terms, stated plainly: the Gaixample crawl (4), the AfterDark tour (6), the Karaoke crawl (7) and the Bar Crawl Group (8) state free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance and reserve now, pay later on their booking pages, and the Speakeasy Crawl (1) states reserve now, pay later. The Original Party Tour (2), the Rooftop & Nightlife Tour (3) and the Pub Crawl (5) state neither — book those only when your plans are fixed.

Final Thoughts

Barcelona after dark rewards a plan, because the city’s best nights are hidden twice over: the speakeasies behind unmarked doors in the lanes of the old town — the same streets our hidden gems in Barcelona guide hunts by day — and the beach clubs whose doors are easiest to pass with a host and a wristband. For most visitors the Speakeasy Crawl is the one to book: the deepest reviews, the smallest groups, the most interesting rooms. But there is a shape for every trip — a rooftop timetable, a Gaixample evening with Orkhan, a karaoke-fuelled march to the beach clubs, or a $13 ticket that promises forty new friends or your money back. Pick the night that sounds like yours, bring photo ID, and let somebody who knows the doors do the navigating.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Barcelona bar crawl overall?

The Speakeasy Crawl, Hidden Bars with Optional Tapas (crawl 1). It holds 4.6/5 from 263 reviews — the deepest review base of any Barcelona bar crawl — runs for 4 hours from $33.60 in groups of around ten, and trades the mega-club circuit for hidden speakeasies and cocktail bars in the Gothic Quarter, starting inside Milan’s Cocktail on Carrer de Milans.

How much does a Barcelona bar crawl cost?

From $13.06 to $33.60 across this guide. The Bar Crawl Group is the cheapest at $13.06 and the Speakeasy Crawl the most expensive at $33.60; the club crawls cluster around $16–$21. On most crawls the ticket buys entry and hosting only — your drinks are extra, as the per-tour notes above spell out. Prices were live on GetYourGuide when this guide was checked and move with season and demand.

How long do Barcelona bar crawls last, and when do they start?

From 2.5 to 6 hours of hosted time. The Gaixample crawl is the shortest at 2.5 hours; the Speakeasy Crawl and the Rooftop & Nightlife Tour start at 20:00; the classic Pub Crawl starts latest, at 22:00; and the AfterDark tour runs a full 6 hours. The club at the end of most crawls keeps its own hours — the Bar Crawl Group’s final club stays open until 5:30–6:00.

Do Barcelona bar crawls include drinks?

Mostly, no. Only the AfterDark tour (6) includes drinks as part of the ticket — tacos and drinks at its first venue. The Speakeasy Crawl (1) offers an optional tapas board with three drinks for €20 extra. The Gaixample crawl (4), the Karaoke crawl (7) and the Bar Crawl Group (8) state plainly that drinks are not included, and the club crawls (2, 3, 5) promise entry and hosting rather than drinks — the Bar Crawl Group’s bars make drink offers, but you pay for what you order.

Which Barcelona bar crawls end with club entry?

Six of the eight: the Original Party Tour (2), the Rooftop & Nightlife Tour (3), the Pub Crawl (5), the AfterDark tour (6), the Karaoke crawl (7) and the Bar Crawl Group (8) all finish with VIP or skip-the-line entry to a club — the rota across the guide includes Opium, Pacha, Shoko, Sutton, CDLC, Twenties, Otto Zutz, Jamboree and Club Sauvage. The Speakeasy Crawl (1) and the Gaixample crawl (4) are bars-only nights by design.

Can I cancel a Barcelona bar crawl if my plans change?

On the evidence of their booking pages, partly. The Gaixample crawl (4), the AfterDark tour (6), the Karaoke crawl (7) and the Bar Crawl Group (8) state free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund, and those four plus the Speakeasy Crawl (1) state reserve now, pay later — book your spot and pay nothing today. The Original Party Tour (2), the Rooftop & Nightlife Tour (3) and the Pub Crawl (5) state neither, so treat those bookings as fixed.

What do I need to bring on a Barcelona bar crawl?

Proof you are 18 or over, above all: every club-bound crawl here is adults-only, and the AfterDark tour (6) and Bar Crawl Group (8) state that valid photo ID is required for venue entry, while the Karaoke crawl (7) accepts a copy of your ID. Dress for the door, not the beach — smart casual is the stated code on the club crawls, with no sportswear (7, 8) and no flip-flops (7). The Gaixample crawl (4) is the relaxed exception: bars, not clubs, and no dress code on its page.
