Clubbing & Food

By Brian Gallagher 02.02.15

Opium Barcelona is one of the city’s premier clubs which despite its size (can accommodate up to 2,000 clubbers) has maintained an exclusive philosophy based on its location, its design, the best national and international Djs as well as its excellent gastronomic offering conceived by chef Billy Baroja. With the opening of the Opium club in Madrid last December the club which was founded in Barcelona is 2007 has established itself nationally. Located in the Barceloneta neighbourhood, adjacent to the Hotel Arts on the beach this is the premier leisure zone in Barcelona reflected perfectly by Opium’s terrace (one the largest in the city) and its incredible views over the Mediterranean.

This winter season Opium Barcelona presents a completely new gastronomic offering. This new approach is characterized by contemporary cuisine featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients as the main protagonists. The restaurant is open from 1pm through till midnight and provides a unique experience of dining on its sun drenched terrace during the day or late into the night.
