This El Cangrejo is located at Carrer de Montserrat, 9, in El Raval. It's a very local crowd, a mix of all ages from fresh-eyed baby gays and daddies. It's where the sailors would head to for a little bit of cheeky “downtime” when docking at Barcelona port! The club became famous for its drag shows and epic dance nights, so naturally, it became very popular with the LGBTQ community.įrom the deep royal blue walls to the funky artwork hanging on the walls, something about El Cangrejo feels quite homely. When it first opened many years ago, the El Raval neighbourhood was not a nice area, famous for the trade. For that reason alone it's worth a visit! It's famous for being the original and first gay bar of Barcelona. This one's located in the El Raval neighbourhood, just off the famous Las Ramblas. Not to be confused with the bar with the same name in the Gaixample neighbourhood.
