Barcelona Stag Do

The first thing to note with our stag do guide to Barcelona nightlife is that things don’t even start getting busy until midnight, and the party goes on until the early hours of the morning. So you and the boys are going to need stamina, and you’re going to need to pace yourselves. If you’re racking up the shots at 7pm, then by the time the locals are heading out, you’re probably going to be crashing out.

There are several neighbourhoods in Barcelona worth checking out, including Las Ramblas, which is touristy but has lots of decent takeaways, the Gothic Quarter, and our most-recommended, El Born, which is central and also conveniently close to the beach. 

Unsure of how to start your evening in Barcelona? We’ve got a couple of reliable suggestions. Firstly, take things nice and easy with our Complete Barcelona Stag Night, including a slap-up three course dinner, washed down with unlimited sangria, and followed by entry to one of the city’s best nightclubs. Alternatively, allow us to show you around the city in style with a Guided Pub Crawl, led by an attractive young lady who will see you into the finest nightspots on a route tailored to your interests. We can also sort you out with VIP entry to one of Barcelona’s liveliest nightclubs, many of which don’t close until the sun comes up. 

Our most popular stag do bars in Barcelona include the Ice Bar, where you can expect a frosty welcome, but in a good way. Sub zero style is the name of the game here, with furniture and sculptures carved out of blocks of ice, and warm coats handed out on arrival. You won’t need ice in your drinks either, as they’re all served at room temperature. Not somewhere to stay all night, definitely, but very unique and refreshing too if you’re planning a Spain stag in July or August when it gets crazy hot. 

L’Ovella Negra, on Las Ramblas, is a great place to start your evening, with tapas, beer hall-style seating, and a bustling ambience. 10 minutes walk north is the George Payne, an Irish pub. Sure, you’re in Barcelona, you want some continental culture and to drink where the locals drink, we get it. But also, your team might be in action over the weekend, and the George Payne is one of the best sports bars in Barcelona.

Another stag do friendly place in Barcelona where you can catch the Premier League is the Cocovail Beer Hall, serving a wide range of craft beers, delicious (and very cheap) chicken wings, and plenty of fun table games like Jenga to get stuck into while you drink. 

Now, we know we said to pace yourselves on a Barcelona stag night, but later in the evening if you’re starting to feel a bit the worse for wear, make your way to Espit Chupitos. There are more than 600 types of shots available here: spicy, dry, creamy, set on fire - as well as a full slate of jugs and pitchers. It’s the ultimate pick-me-up and obviously a big favourite with both stag and hen groups.

Lastly - for the stag group that likes its burgers greasy, its music loud, and its floors sticky, introducing Bollocks Bar. Rock ‘n’ roll heaven, with cocktails, pinball, loaded nachos and happy hour from 7pm ‘til 10pm. Bollocks Bar - it’s a swinging place.
