Bacon Bear Bar is Barcelona's best-known bar for the bear community, situated on Carrer de Casanova in the heart of the Eixample district, the city's established gay neighbourhood also known as the Gayxample. The bar has built a loyal following among bears, daddies, otters, chubbies, and their admirers, drawing regulars and visitors from across the world who come back for its relaxed, no-attitude atmosphere and genuinely friendly staff.
The space is compact and sociable, with the kind of easy warmth that makes strangers feel like regulars by the end of the night. Music leans towards classic pop, 80s and 90s hits, and vintage music videos, keeping the mood upbeat without overwhelming conversation. There is a small area where guests can dance when the bar fills up at weekends.
Daily promotions are a defining feature of the BBB experience. Thursday evenings bring the popular Happy Bacon event, which includes bar snacks alongside drink deals, making it one of the most sociable nights of the week. Sundays offer a special drinks promotion in the early evening, and the Super Tardeo runs on all other evenings, giving guests a reason to start the night at Carrer de Casanova before heading deeper into the neighbourhood.
Bacon Bear Bar sits in an ideal position within Barcelona's gay scene, just a few minutes' walk from the main cluster of gay bars, clubs, saunas, and cruising venues, making it a natural first stop on a night out or a reliable local to return to at the end of one.

A bit old school, but a super cool place to go out when visiting Barcelona. Team is super nice and they have a Happy Hour every Thursday 👍🏻🫶🏻
No trip to BCN is complete without a visit here. The staff are unbelievably friendly special mention to Juan, David and Carlos 🥰. The music is always a vibe and the drinks are reasonably priced and very free flowing. The crowd is very respectful and this place has been a return visit for us every time. We cannot wait to plan our next visit here

The best bear bar in Barcelona if you're into bears and daddies. The location is great, four minutes walking distance from universitas square. The place is small and cozy. Prices are very good. The staff are super friendly and hilarious, especially Carlos. I always have the best time whenever I visit this place. It's like my second home whenever I'm visiting Barcelona and have great memories there meeting people.
Place of discrimination! I’m a girl, came there with my gay best friend to spend time together and the bartender was visibly annoyed by my presence. And even asked my friend “What’s the point of bringing a girl to a gay bar?” 💀💀💀 i was speechless. Never again coming back. And the atmosphere sucked, place is filled with old dudes
