Barcelona Party With Beer Pong Drinking Game Plus VIP Club Entry
Barcelona’s nightlife is easier to enjoy when someone else handles the plan. This five-hour pub crawl starts with beer pong and drinking games, moves through bars with a free shot at each stop, and finishes with VIP club entry in La Vila Olímpica. It is built for meeting people, not for quiet cocktails.
I like the included club admission, which normally saves you about €15 to €20, and I like having guides such as Merlijn and Nica keep the group together. The main drawback is the size: up to 60 people can join, so this is a social party rather than a small, personal night out. You also pay for your own bus or Metro ride.
Key points at a glance
- Beer pong starts the evening: You have an easy way to meet people before heading into the city.
- Free shots come with each bar stop: Alcoholic drinks are included in the form of bar shots, not unlimited drinks all night.
- The night ends at a club: VIP entry helps you avoid the standard club admission line.
- Karaoke adds a change of pace: You can sing, loosen up, and socialize before the late club portion.
- Guides do the route planning: Merlijn, Nica, and the rest of the team lead the group from the 9:30 pm meeting point.
- The price is low for a full night: At $24.02, the included club entry alone covers much of the cost.
Starting at 9:30 pm on Passeig de Gràcia

You meet at Safestay Barcelona Passeig de Gràcia, at Passeig de Gràcia 33 in the Eixample district. The start time is 9:30 pm, which gives you a full evening without cutting into the main dinner hours.
That meeting point is useful for a first night in Barcelona because you do not need to work out a bar route on your own. You simply arrive, meet the party guide, and join the opening activity. If you are visiting alone, the structure helps. You have a reason to speak with people right away instead of standing in a bar wondering how to begin.
Bring your booking confirmation on your phone. A mobile ticket is accepted, and confirmation arrives when you book. You should also arrive ready for a late night, since the group does not finish at the start of the club portion.
The experience is offered in English. Most people can take part, but the group may reach 60 people. That is large enough to create plenty of social energy, but it also means you should stay aware of where the group is moving.

Beer pong gives the night an easy start

The first major activity is beer pong and other drinking games. This is less about serious competition than breaking the ice. You can join a game, cheer for other people, and meet people from different places without needing a clever opening line.
I like this part because it gives the evening a clear starting point. A pub crawl can feel awkward if everyone arrives at different times and immediately disappears into separate conversations. Beer pong creates a shared activity, and the guides can use it to bring the group together before the bar stops begin.
You should know what kind of evening this creates. The focus is drinking, dancing, games, and socializing. If you want a calm introduction to Barcelona’s food or cocktail scene, this is not the right pick. If you want a simple way to get out at night and meet people, the format makes sense.
The included alcohol is described as free shots at each bar. That does not mean every drink for the entire night is included. Plan to pay for anything else you order, and pace yourself. The crawl lasts about five hours, and the nightclub portion can continue late after the official guided part ends.
Bar stops, karaoke, and free shots
The route includes bar visits before the final club. The exact bar names are not fixed in the information provided, which gives the guides room to choose venues for the night. The main promise is that you visit local nightlife spots without spending your evening researching where to go.
The experience is described as including two bars before the club, with a free shot at each bar. That gives you a taste of several places instead of committing to one venue early in the night. It also means you should expect short stops and a moving group, not a long sit-down evening at each bar.
Karaoke is another part of the night. You can sing, watch others take the microphone, or simply use the session as another chance to talk with the group. It adds a different mood before the club and gives people who are not keen on nonstop dancing a brief change of pace.
The strongest practical benefit here is convenience. Barcelona has plenty of nightlife, but choosing a good route can take time, and queues can eat up your evening. A guide who already knows the planned stops removes that work. The tradeoff is that you give up control over the exact bars and the amount of time spent at each one.
Guides who keep the group moving

The guide can make or break a pub crawl, and Merlijn receives especially strong praise in the supplied feedback. He is described as friendly, attentive, and present throughout the night. Nica and other guides are also mentioned as helping people stay together and checking that everyone is doing well.
That matters with a group of up to 60. A large party can split at crossings, bar entrances, or busy sidewalks. A guide who keeps communicating and watches the group makes the night less stressful, especially if you are new to Barcelona or attending alone.
Merlijn is also described as helping with Barcelona suggestions after the crawl. That kind of extra local help can be useful if this is your first evening in the city, although the core service is the nightlife route itself.
You should still take responsibility for your own belongings, phone, and alcohol intake. The guides can help keep the group together, but they cannot remove the normal risks of a late night in a busy city. Keep the meeting details handy and make sure you know how you will get around after the night ends.

VIP entry and the final nightclub

The crawl finishes at a nightclub in La Vila Olímpica del Poblenou, in the Sant Martí district. The club name is not guaranteed in the supplied details, but the experience promises VIP entry and a normal club admission value of about €15 to €20.
This is where the price becomes attractive. At $24.02, you are paying only a small amount above the usual club entrance, while also receiving a guide, beer pong, drinking games, bar stops, and included shots. If you planned to visit a club anyway, the package can offer good value.
Skip-the-line access is especially useful on a busy Barcelona night. You avoid spending part of your evening waiting outside, though VIP entry does not mean the venue will be empty or quiet once you enter. The night is still centered on dancing and a social club atmosphere.
The guided portion finishes when you enter the club. You can stay until late, so you are not forced to leave when the five-hour estimate ends. The end point is the nightclub in La Vila Olímpica, not the original meeting point. Plan your return from there before you start drinking. Bus and Metro tickets are not included.
Some of the supplied feedback specifically mentions reggaeton music at Otto Zutz, but the general details do not promise one fixed club for every date. Treat the final venue as subject to the night’s plan rather than booking solely for one club name.
What the $24.02 price really covers

The price is low for a five-hour nightlife package. You receive:
- A party guide
- Beer pong and drinking games
- Free shots at each bar
- Entry to the nightclub
- A route through bars and a karaoke session
The club entry is the clearest value. If admission is normally €15 to €20, much of your payment is already accounted for before you consider the guide and activities. The shots and group planning add more value, especially if you would otherwise spend time comparing bars.
Still, this is not an all-inclusive night. You need to budget for transport, extra drinks, food, and any personal spending at the venues. Bus and Metro tickets are specifically excluded, and the included alcohol is limited to the free shots at the bar stops.
The value is best for someone who wants a ready-made night out. If you prefer selecting your own bars, avoiding drinking games, or choosing a club based on its exact music policy, paying separately may give you more control.
Who will enjoy this Barcelona night

This experience suits solo visitors, pairs, and small friend groups who want to meet people. The beer pong start gives you a natural way to join in, while the guides provide a social structure for the rest of the evening.
It is also a good fit for a first night in Barcelona. You do not need to know the city’s nightlife districts, and you can get a feel for several venues before the club. The guide-led route may help you decide what kind of nightlife you want to return to later in your stay.
Couples can enjoy it too. The supplied feedback includes a couple who joined together and had a good night meeting people. Just remember that this is a group party, not a private date-night activity.
I would be cautious about booking it if you dislike loud venues, alcohol-centered games, late finishes, or changing locations. A maximum group size of 60 can feel impersonal, and the route is not designed around museums, food, or local history.
Ratings, repeat visits, and what they suggest

The experience has a 4.7 rating from 31 reviews, with 94 percent of people recommending it. That is a strong result, though the sample is still modest. The praise centers on the guides, social atmosphere, free shots, and the convenience of reaching a club without handling the night alone.
Several people returned for the crawl more than once, and one person joined on multiple nights. That suggests the experience can work as a repeatable social event, especially if the bar route and crowd change from night to night.
The most consistent positive point is the guide service. Merlijn is repeatedly singled out for being friendly, attentive, and helpful. The safety-minded comments are also worth noting: the guides are described as making an effort to keep people together and check that everyone is fine.
No pub crawl can promise the same crowd or energy every night. The group, bar choices, music, and club atmosphere may vary. The reliable part is the structure: meet at 9:30 pm, play games, visit bars, receive shots, and finish with club entry.
Practical advice before you book

Wear something comfortable for walking and dancing. The night moves between venues, and you may spend a long time on your feet. Bring a phone with enough battery for the booking confirmation and your return plans.
Eat before you start, or arrange food early in the evening. Food is not listed as included, even though one past participant received free pizza during a night out. Treat that as an occasional extra, not part of the package.
Plan your route home from La Vila Olímpica in advance. The tour ends at the club, and transport tickets are not included. Since you can stay late, your return time may be well after the five-hour estimate.
Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the 9:30 pm start time. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the start are not refunded, and late changes are not accepted.
Should you book the Barcelona pub crawl?
Book it if you want an affordable, social first night with games, bar stops, free shots, karaoke, and club entry already arranged. The $24.02 price is particularly fair if you would have paid for nightclub admission anyway.
I would choose this for a solo visit, a small group of friends, or a couple happy to meet other people. The strongest reason to book is the combination of useful guides, a simple route, and the included entry at the end.
Skip it if you want a quiet evening, a fixed club choice, or freedom to set your own pace. This is a lively group night with alcohol at its center. For the right mood, it offers a simple way to get your Barcelona nightlife started without spending the evening planning it.
