Barcelona clubs typically open at midnight but don't get busy until 2-3 AM. Most clubs close at 6 AM, with beach clubs often continuing until 7-8 AM in summer. The party starts late - arriving before 1 AM means empty dance floors. Pre-game at bars which get lively from 11 PM.

Barcelona is generally safe but requires street smarts. Main risks are pickpocketing (especially phones) and drink spiking. Stick to well-lit areas, avoid Las Ramblas late at night, watch your drinks, and use licensed taxis. Gothic Quarter can feel sketchy after 3 AM. Beach areas attract thieves - never leave belongings unattended.

Top clubs include Razzmatazz (5 rooms, all music styles), Opium (beachfront, upscale), Sala Apolo (alternative, great Mondays), and Pacha (beach club vibes). For bars, try Paradiso (speakeasy cocktails), El Nacional (food hall with bars), Dow Jones (drinks prices fluctuate), and Bobby's Free (hidden gin bar). Beach clubs dominate summer.

English is widely spoken in tourist areas and party hostels, but learning basic Spanish phrases helps enormously. Catalans appreciate when you try - even simple 'hola,' 'por favor,' and 'gracias' go far. Download Google Translate offline. Most club staff speak English, but local bars may not.

Quality pub crawls like Barcelona Pub Crawl are worth it for meeting people and discovering venues. Usually €15-20 for 4-5 bars plus club entry and free shots. Avoid aggressive street sellers. Best nights are Thursday-Saturday. Great for solo travelers or first night to learn the scene.

Barcelona has Europe's highest pickpocket rate. Use money belts, keep phones secured (get a phone leash!), avoid Las Ramblas late night, and watch for distraction scams. Never buy drugs from street dealers (often fake/dangerous). Beware fake police asking to check wallets. Use only official taxis or apps.

While cannabis is decriminalized for personal use, buying/selling is illegal. Street dealers sell dangerous fake drugs - avoid completely. Clubs have zero tolerance for dealing. If caught with hard drugs, expect arrest. Drink spiking happens - never accept drinks from strangers, don't leave drinks unattended.

Late-night food is everywhere! Try Bar Central in Raval (until 3 AM), Petra's burger joint (24/7), or any kebab shop. McDonald's on Las Ramblas is 24/7. Beach chiringuitos serve until late in summer. Many clubs have food - Razzmatazz has pizza. Stock up at 24h convenience stores too.
