Going out as a group (yes, including stags)

Big groups are the most common reason people do not get into techno clubs in Barcelona. Here is how to do it anyway.

1 min · Updated Sun 8 Nov

01 Split up at the door

Arrive in twos and threes, a few minutes apart. Meet inside. This alone solves most problems.

02 Pick the right room

Small rooms like Macarena (around 80 people) and LAUT are not built for groups. Large rooms like INPUT, Nitsa and Razzmatazz handle them better, especially with advance tickets.

03 Stag and hen groups

Matching T-shirts, costumes and loud arrivals get refused. Dress normally, buy tickets in advance, and save the costumes for dinner.

04 Coming soon

Group bookings and guestlists for groups of 6+. Join the brief to hear first.

Clubs in this guide

Montjuïc / Poble Espanyol INPUT Best sound for headliners. Budget for a taxi up the hill and check the minimum age before you buy. Poble-sec / Paral·lel Nitsa The safest bet for a first Barcelona weekend. Not always pure techno, always a good room. Poblenou Razzmatazz Huge and mixed. Great when Human or Torax has the right booking, otherwise you may end up in an indie room. Gòtic Macarena The late-night move when everywhere else feels too big. Expect a queue at weekends.
