Itinerary
Day 1
Meet your host in the Gothic Quarter. Optional pre-party before the main crawl; then visit three curated bars (free shot at each) before skip-the-line VIP entry at a top nightclub.
Optional Pre-party & Check-in — Los Patos Barcelona
Meet the host team at Los Patos Barcelona to pick up wristbands, meet the group, grab €1 beers or sangria (optional pre-party) and take the first complimentary shots. The host will be holding a 'Halloween Pub Crawl' sign.
Tips from local experts:
- This pre-party is optional but useful to collect wristbands and meet people — if you arrive late, head to the first bar (Ocaña) and the host will find you.
- Carry a small crossbody or inside-pocket for your ID and phone — you’ll need ID for entry to the club later.
- If someone in your group prefers low-alcohol options, ask the host for the €1 sangria instead of beer; many bars will accommodate.
Bar 1 — Ocaña (Plaça Reial) — Group games & first free shot
First official stop on the crawl at Ocaña, a lively square-front venue perfect for group games, free shot and getting into the Halloween spirit.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive on time — Plaça Reial fills up fast on event nights; meeting quickly here keeps the schedule flowing.
- Keep your group together when moving between inside/outside areas — it’s easy to get separated in busy plazas.
- Ask the bar staff for a selfie spot recommendation — Ocaña's façade and square lighting make for great group photos.
Bar 2 — El Bosc de les Fades — Themed Halloween vibe & free shot
A short walk to the fairy-tale/forest-themed bar for spooky atmosphere and another complimentary shot — perfect for costume photos and playing curated party games.
Tips from local experts:
- El Bosc de les Fades is atmospheric and dimly lit — bring a phone flashlight or camera with night mode for better costume photos.
- Watch your step — the interior has decorative uneven surfaces; wear comfortable shoes that are safe for dancing and short walks.
- If the venue is full, the host will coordinate a quick outdoor game so the group stays engaged while waiting.
Bar 3 — Boadas Cocktails — Classic cocktails + final free shot before club
Finish the bar-hop at historic Boadas Cocktails near La Rambla for a quick classic-cocktail experience and your third free shot. Hosts run a short costume contest or surprise game here.
Tips from local experts:
- Boadas is a small cocktail bar — if you want seats, arrive early; otherwise plan to enjoy standing near the bar for fast service.
- If you prefer non-alcoholic options, ask for a mocktail — staff are used to requests and will suggest seasonal mixes.
- Keep the wristband visible as you enter — it speeds up the host’s organization and helps with any drink inclusions.
Transfer to VIP Club — Short taxi/ride-share to OPiUM (skip-the-line entry)
Board a short taxi or ride-share with the group to Opium on the waterfront. The host provides skip-the-line VIP access and the included club drink; dance into the early hours.
Tips from local experts:
- Take a taxi or official ride-share (Cabify/Uber) in a group to split cost — it’s the fastest and safest way to get to Port Olímpic late at night.
- Have cash and card ready for the driver and small tips; confirm the estimated fare in the app to avoid surprises.
- Keep belongings secure on the transfer — backpacks are harder to manage in crowded clubs; switch to a small bag before you go in.
VIP Club Entry & Open Dance Floor — OPIUM Barcelona
Enjoy skip-the-line VIP access to Opium (includes one drink). Dance, enjoy the DJ, and celebrate until the end time. Hosts and event photographer capture highlights of the night.
Tips from local experts:
- Opium has a dress code — no sportswear or flip-flops; dress smart-casual to ensure smooth VIP entry for the whole group.
- Claim a spot near the DJ or the VIP area early if you want a group photo with the club lights — the host/photographer will help coordinate.
- Plan a meeting point for each group in case someone steps out; Port Olímpic has well-lit promenades and clear landmarks (e.g., the Opium sign).
Wrap-up & Safe Dispersal
Hosts ensure everyone has transport options (taxi groups, metro directions) and distribute any photographer photos or social links for sharing the night’s pictures.
Tips from local experts:
- If you’re staying in the Gothic Quarter, the last metro trains are limited — check times or book a taxi/ride-share in advance.
- Ask the host for a quick summary of the best late-night food spots nearby if you want a snack before bed (many 24h kiosks and bakeries near the beach).
- Confirm a WhatsApp group or social handle with the host if you want photos from the event photographer — they typically share within 24–48 hours.
