Casa Batlló — quick Gaudí stop on Passeig de Gràcia
Admire Gaudí’s famous façade and rooftop mosaics from the outside (option to enter if you prefer). A short photo-friendly stop to set the tone for the evening.

- Friday8:30 AM – 10:30 PM
- Saturday8:30 AM – 10:30 PM
- Sunday8:30 AM – 10:30 PM
Tips from local experts:
- Buy a timed-entry ticket in advance if you want to go inside; otherwise the façade photos are fantastic and quicker for groups.
- Best photos are taken from the small median on Passeig de Gràcia; in May the light is soft late afternoon — aim for 16:30–17:00.
- There’s a short walk-friendly route along Passeig de Gràcia—stick together and use a group messaging app to rendezvous if anyone wanders off.
Group tapas dinner at El Nacional (Passeig de Gràcia)
Shared-corner tapas and small plates inside El Nacional — a roomy, group-friendly space with multiple food counters (easy for groups to split the bill).

- Saturday12:00 PM – 1:00 AM
- Sunday12:00 PM – 12:00 AM
Tips from local experts:
- Reserve a table in the 'Tapas' area or arrive a little early — El Nacional is popular; for groups, ask for a large table or adjacent seating.
- Try Catalan-style anchovies, bombas and a pitcher of vermut or sangria to start — great for sharing and socializing.
- In May the interior is comfortable but the terrace can be breezy; request an indoor spot if you prefer a cozier group vibe.
Meet your Beer Guide on the Safestay rooftop (check-in & orientation)
Arrive at Safestay rooftop 15 minutes before start time to meet the Beer Guide, confirm IDs (18+), and get settled on the rooftop viewing area.
Tips from local experts:
- The booking requests groups to meet 15 minutes before start — head to reception at Safestay Passeig de Gràcia and take the elevator to the rooftop.
- Bring photo ID for everyone (event is 18+); staff may check IDs before guests are served alcohol.
- In May evenings are mild but breezy on rooftops — bring a light layer; shoes with good grip are helpful on rooftop surfaces.
Barcelona Beer Tasting — Rooftop guided tasting (6 craft beers)
Main activity: a friendly, guided tasting of 6 craft beers on the Safestay rooftop. Learn about beer history, brewing techniques, and local craft breweries — then help yourself to favourites.
Tips from local experts:
- This is the Bokun activity core: expect 6 craft beer samples and an experienced Beer Guide who will talk through flavors and brewery origins — pace yourself and sip between samples.
- Ask the guide about local breweries (e.g., Garage Beer Co., Edge Brewing) and request a second pour of any favourites — groups often split extra bottles.
- Since it’s on a rooftop, drinks can feel stronger in the open air; hydrate and alternate with water. Keep your ID handy — staff enforce the 18+ policy.
Optional: Continue the night at BierCab (many craft taps)
If your group wants more beer choices, head to BierCab — a local favourite with a large rotating tap list and group-friendly atmosphere.
- MondayClosed
- Tuesday2:00 PM – 12:00 AM
- Wednesday2:00 PM – 12:00 AM
- Thursday2:00 PM – 12:00 AM
- Friday2:00 PM – 12:00 AM
- Saturday2:00 PM – 12:00 AM
- SundayClosed
Tips from local experts:
- BierCab is perfect for groups who want to keep sampling — ask for a flight to try multiple taps without committing to full pints.
- It can get loud later; for a livelier crowd order a few shareable plates (their burgers and loaded fries are popular with groups).
- BierCab is near the Eixample — call ahead for a group table if you have 6+ people to avoid long waits.

Why this experience
A rooftop beer tasting at Safestay on Passeig de Gràcia gives your group a fresh angle on Barcelona. You'll start with a short walk past Gaudí's modernist masterpieces, stopping long enough to notice the details, then climb to the rooftop where a knowledgeable beer guide waits. The session itself—Spanish craft beers paired with local tapas—is less about getting drunk and more about tasting the region. You'll taste how climate and ingredients shape what breweries make; Barcelona's craft beer scene punches above its weight.
The group-only format means no awkward table-mixing. Your friends have the space to laugh, debate beer tastes, and be yourselves without random tables listening in. The rooftop atmosphere—open air, views stretching to the sea, early evening light—makes even casual beer talk feel special.
This is perfect for friends who want to try something beyond the usual wine-and-tapas routine, or groups celebrating something specific (a birthday, a visit, a good excuse).
Before you go
- Best time: Spring (April–May) or summer (June–August) when rooftop weather is comfortable. Afternoon sessions (typically 15:00–17:00) catch the golden hour; evening sessions (18:00–20:00) offer cooler temperatures and city lights starting to glow.
- Budget: Check the booking widget for current tour pricing. Includes beer tastings and a meal; additional beer purchases are possible.
- Difficulty: Easy — you're sitting, tasting, and eating. The short walk to the rooftop has no hills.
- What to bring: Comfortable casual clothes, sunscreen if it's an afternoon session, and an appetite for both beer and conversation.
- Getting there: Safestay Passeig de Gràcia, Passeig de Gràcia 9. Metro: L3 (green) or L6 (purple) to Passeig de Gràcia station, 2-minute walk. The entrance is clearly marked.
- Accessibility: The rooftop is accessed via lift and stairs. Confirm accessibility needs with the operator when booking.
