MEGA SATURDAY DJ SESSION PARTY 🎧 & FREE CLUB ENTRY 🍹

WhenToday at 20:30

WhereD9 ARIBAU

Saturday night starts at D9. 🍸 D9 ARIBAU — an Upper Diagonal spot, every Saturday from 8:30 PM. Good music, cocktails, and a crowd that makes Saturdays easy. 📍 Carrer Aribau 242, Barcelona 🕗 8:30 PM This Saturday: we're testing a BEER PONG table downstairs from the beginning of the night 🍺🏓 Come early if you want to join the first round. The evening starts relaxed — drinks, conversation, people arriving from all over the city — and around 10:30 the DJ starts lifting the room and the energy shifts. 🎶 Come for D9 or do the full Saturday: brunch at OGHAM at 1 PM, cocktails here from 8:30, then THUNDER ⚡ gets you into La Fira after midnight. Your THUNDER guestlist gives you access to La Fira Villaroel — free entry before 1:30 AM. 💃 (Entry to D9 is free with RSVP)

What BIS nights actually feel like

Barcelona International Social is for people who want Barcelona to feel fun and alive. We meet in the best places, with the best hosts, and make it easy to walk in by yourself and join the conversation.

Most weeks you will find language exchanges in English, Spanish, Italian, French, German, and more, plus dinners, brunches, running, paddle surf, hiking, and nights out.

Come for one plan, then choose the next one. A drink after work can turn into a Saturday trip, a dance class, or a table of people you already know next week.
