Ten Barcelona bars our editors recommend for Pride Month — LGBTQ+ welcoming year-round, owned and run with care.

Pride bars only matter if they matter every other month of the year. The Barcelona venues below are not the bars that put a rainbow flag in the window every June and take it down on July 1. They are the rooms our editors and readers report feeling consistently welcome in — regardless of who they walked in with — and the bars where Pride Month feels like an extension of normal service, not a campaign.

The Barcelona Pride Month bars our editors stand behind

The first six picks below are the editors' default — the rooms we send a friend to first when they ask. Each is followed by a recommendation we have ordered ourselves at least three times. Click any bar name to read the full review, signature drink notes, neighbourhood guide and how to book.
