Barcelona gay nightlife starts very late. This also includes the bars. Tourists usually go out a bit earlier and can be found in Punto BCN. The spanish guys don't show up before midnight or later. The most popular bar at the moment is now Zeltas.

La Chapelle, Muntaner, 67
Small but cosy bar with reasonable prices and kind staff. They even have a small terrace outside with only 2 tables. But sitting there is very nice because all the (gay) people walking buy. La Chapelle is next to Punto Bar.

Sazzerak Restaurant , Consell de Cent 211
A very nice restaurant in the gay district where gays are more than welcome. It's small, but because that it has a very cosy atmosphere. Run by a small and very enthousiastic crew. Menu with a good variety of food. Be shure to try their well known and delicious crepes for dessert! You'll may be served by the female version of Mrs Doubtfire. Small, cosy, not expensive, mostly gay, worth a visit!
