Candy Darling is a queer indie bar that acts as a late-night space within Barcelona’s LGBTQIA+ scene. Opened in 2019, it’s become a familiar name in the city’s queer nightlife thanks to its inclusive atmosphere and pop-art-inspired design. It mixes creative cocktails with simple food and a steady line-up of drag shows, DJs, exhibitions and themed nights, so there’s usually something going on.

This is good to know

It pays tribute to Candy Darling, Andy Warhol’s trans superstar and a key figure in New York’s underground scene.
It also works as a gallery, regularly hosting art exhibitions that reinforce its role as a cultural space.
