Opium Mar

The first pick for Barcelona's resident poseurs and playboys, the Opium Mar nightclub occupies a prime piece of real estate on the Port Olimpic: indeed its terrace - Opium Beach - is right on the seafront! Perhaps that's why stick-thin girls in summer dresses and macho guys in expensive shades congregate here, where they can lounge on cream sofas admiring each other and the laid back Balearic-style beats. Later at night Opium Mar becomes one of the hottest hang outs in Barcelona for dancing and drinking, especially as the club has a license until 6am. Perenially popular and rather proud of its reputation you may have to pay up to 20 euros in peak season for the privilege of joining the beautiful people for the night. Still it could be worth it!

After half a year in the club, finally I can write a good review about it. It's a nice looking place, good people and good music, but not too much to expect.

This are my evaluations ofter 6 months of looking how the club works.

The door keepers are just "stupid", you can't talk with them, they look too much at the people and if they don't feel good for them they kick you off without reason.
I have seen with my eyes girls that got kicked from the club in a really bad way, violation of intimate and aggression. They put them into an elevator and kick them from the club. I don't think that thats a good way to ask someone to leave.

Don't ask for anything if you are not a girl, the door keepers dont ever respond, they just overlook you and stay ahead without saying nothing.

Minimum age for entry its 21, but depends on the day, they say its 23. Girls are more permissive, I have found girls that are 16 years old inside the club.

At 6 am, start running away or you, again will be kicked from the club in bad ways, they push you and get you off the club without even asking first.

Don't try to buy drinks, they are just too expensive, 12€ for a drink, not good enough for that club.

Entrance it's 20€ for person without any drink, but you can get a free entry before 1:30 am, just try to find people that give free flyers around the place.

Restrooms are just full every time, too much queue, as a boy you can just have to wait for more than 15 minutes.

They go over capacity almost every night, so expect a crowded place where you can't ever dance without getting pushed or pissed.

Again, remember, good music, good people but don't expect good staff.

There are much better clubs in Barcelona.

Enjoy the night.

My best friend and I went to Opium Mar on our last night in Barcelona and both agreed that it was one of the best nights of our entire holiday! It was a Friday night in the middle of summer and we had such a great time. I didn't think the bouncers were as strict as some of the other reviews suggest - my friend was wearing flats and I was wearing a dress that was nowhere near nice enough to wear to a club but we got in with no problems. Having said that though, all the males were quite well dressed. The venue is amazing too - right on the beach so the perfect place to hang out in summer :)

This club is good but not as good as it thinks it is.

The bouncers were rude, thanks to them I'll make sure none of my friends ever set a foot in this bar!

Good shizzle

Had an awesome night out with the boys in the Opium Mar in December.
Good times had by all.
Only downside being the arrogant and aggressive nature of the staff which seems to be fairly standard with decent clubs.
Nice being by the sea. I'd imagine this is even better in the summer.

Dress smart and your through the door, I had no problems and had the best night here. World class DJs every Weds is the night to go. Downstairs has an open air bar that overlooks the beach. This place is more up market than the used up venues of Ibiza.

The ******** bouncers wouldn't let me in because I didn't have a collar on my t-shirt. So 90s. Went to Shoko instead, which was cool but finished at 3am

Opium Mar really is the best club in town. Beautiful people, good music and with the beach in the backgarden you can easily go for a beach walk to cool down from all this hot stuff.
Though it is really hard to get in, the door policy is very strict, plus there is an huge queue.
That is why I went with the Opium Mar Night Tour. With this tour you go to 4 different top places and you end up in Opium Mar with VIP entrance (no queueing, no doormen). Only 34,90, entrance Opium Mar included.

Madre mia, some hot chicas at Opium. The music is really great, not too heavy. This is the place in Barcelona if you want to meet beautiful people and spend a lot of money. Try to get on the guest list otherwise you probably won't get in

The best club in Barcelona, especially during summer. Beware though the queues can be insane and the door policy is a little picky
