Opium Barcelona Restaurant and Club — Restaurant in Barcelona

MUSIC The music was good, high highs but low lows.

DRINKS Drinks were generous but very expensive.

SERVICE Bartenders do a fantastic job, and really improve the exprience. However, although security is abundant (and should be), they could be unnecesarily aggresive in situations that did not merit roughness (particularly around the entrance to the VIP section, security likes to act as if they were guarding the president). Also, no one is guarding the line outside, so you WILL encounter groups that cut in line.

PLACE The place is very, very big, but not nearly enough for the absurd amounts of people flocking in. Everyone gets in, and the place would benefit from not letting everyone at their doorstep in (as I will point out in the next section). The bathrooms are tiny. The place is poorly ventilated and very, very hot. The only relief were the smoke machines that propelled cold air occasionally. There were plenty of seating spots.

AMBIENT The weakest part of the club is undoubtedly this. Everything else considered, it still could've been a good night out. However, the huge crowds and the quality of the people were the tragic flaws of this club. The place was terribly overcrowded. It was impossible to even approach the dance floor, and the whole place was an odyssey to move around in. Then, even worse. The absurd amount of men was a breeding ground for conflict and nasty behaviour. A big percentage of the guys in there were groping and shoving unnecesarily. One or two of these people would generally not ruin a night, but since the filter for entrance was non-existent, the place was plagued by this type of guy. Practically every girl I talked with mentioned that the crowd had made them uncomfortable, so it's no wonder the place is full with groups of dudes and scarcely any girls, even on "ladies' night". Really, security at the door should be more selective of who and how many people get in.

ADDITIONAL NOTES Cups inevitably shatter on the floor, so wear shoes accordingly, particularly girls that wear open toed shoes. I would also really recommend buying a ticket online in advance, or don't even bother going.

CONCLUSION Overall, the experience was bad. Not because of the high prices or the poorly ventilated place, but because of the tremendous amount of people let in and the poor quality of those...

Has to be the worst nightclub I have ever experienced and I have been to right dives.

First off the queue: There’s 3 queues or maybe 4 depending on how they are feeling on the night. There is hardly any signage and no one to police the queue to stop people jumping in etc. You will easily wait over 1 hour to enter and then you are slapped with a made up price on the spot depending if you are tourist, a group of males or females you will be charged more of less pending on what they think off you. It does lead to a fun game of comparing prices once you enter with other people.

Now entering: Welcome to the most overcramped club possibly in the world. Need the toilet after waiting in the queue for an hour in the heat? Good luck, you will be sardined into the smallest section of the club which happens also to be the warmest. With the usual people cutting in and barging into you. Be prepared to see some fights as the clientele is wonderful

2 vodka and lemonades will set you back €30, the bar tender was quiet nice, happens to be the only highlight of the experience.

The place is filled to the brim with the worst types of people. They aren’t there to have a good time or party, they are there to pose for instagram and sit miserable in vip section. That if you happen to walk in with the bouncer will just push you with no words being said. Everyone is pushing and shoving and arguing all over the shop. Also the exits are poorly sign posted, we just want back the way we came.

There is outdoor section, but if you ain’t paying €150 you are being slung into the cramped section with the other cattle.

Lastly. The music.

It was advertised as tech house Mondays, being a fan of this myself I was hoping the music would a least lift my spirits. Turns out it was just regular old safe tourist music you would hear anywhere else in any free club or pub that is family friendly. The dance floor is tiny, good luck getting anywhere near.

Over all it was a horrid experience and is tailored for people who just want to say they’ve been here rather than actually enjoy the place. I cannot fathom how anyone can enjoy...

Me and my friend came here last night because we saw a reel on instagram (page rumbalist_bcn) and they mentioned that this is a great club to party around with free entries on Thursday and other days (we found in the reviews here that Opium is collaborating with this instagram page😂).

When we arrived there we saw there was a big line to wait and I went to discuss with one of the bodyguards to ask him about the free entry and he told us that we have to pay 15 euros because we were late, it was around 1 AM. We got back in line and when it was our turn to get the tickets the girl told us to pay 40 euros (both) and I told her that the guy told us it’s 15 per person and she asked us if we were on the list (if you search on internet you will find info about someone’s list and just say that you are on the list so you don’t pay the price they want you to pay).

We got inside, the music seemed to be nice for the first 30 minutes, we got our drinks that were included in the 15 euro entry but when we wanted to get to the dance floor there was no space, the place was so crowded, people kept passing by, there was no room to move or to dance and the floor was full of broken glass. You couldn’t lock the bathroom door, but at least it seemed to be quite clean. We left after about 2 hours because we got so bored, there was no latin/spanish music and the dj chose the most boring and comercial songs that you usually listen to in the car when the road is too long and you don’t know what to play. We couldn’t have fun there so we left. Definitely wouldn’t recommend.

PS: we didn’t get a second drink but we saw in the reviews that the place is a scam and everything is super expensive and also you have to be careful to your belongings so they...
