Arena Clubs Barcelona

Arena Club Barcelona is the name of a legendary group of gay clubs, all located within the Eixample District, an area that has become trendy among gay crowds, suitably called Gaixample.

The Arena group has five clubs that complement each other, creating a powerforce in the Barcelona nighttime entertainment scene.

Each one caters to different musical tastes and crowds. Several bars in the area like El Punto offer free passes for the Arena Clubs (after buying one drink).
