HBB: the bar of Gaixample that is a café by day and a cocktail bar by night

Publicidad

• In the heart of Gaixample (Carrer del Consell de Cent, 247), just a step away from the Universitat and Passeig de Gràcia metro stops.
• Two bars in one: specialty coffee, breakfasts, and light lunches during the day; classic and signature cocktails at night.
• Born with a focus on the bear community and its friends, but open to anyone looking for a diverse, authentic, and non-judgmental space.
• Happy hour Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday until midnight, and space rental for private events (up to 60 people).

In the heart of Gaixample, on a pedestrian street just steps from Universitat and Passeig de Gràcia, HBB has become one of those places worth keeping in mind: in the morning it is the café where you can stop for breakfast or work for a while on the terrace, and at night it transforms into a cocktail bar with dim lighting and good music. From Revista Rainbow we tell you what you can find if you stop by.

From café to cocktail bar: a bar for any time of the day

HBB is designed to operate at any hour. During the day, the offering is specialty coffee, freshly made croissants, bagels, toasts, and light lunch options, with the terrace as the perfect spot to chat, work, or simply watch the neighborhood go by. When evening falls, the space changes its skin: the lights dim, a curated selection of music plays, and the menu shifts to classic and signature cocktails — from a Bloody Mary or a Martini to house specialties — along with snacks to accompany.

A space born for the bear community, open to everyone

HBB defines itself as a bear bar — “proud gay bear bar” — in the heart of Gaixample, the gay neighborhood of Barcelona. It was born with a focus on the bear community and its friends, but its philosophy is clear: everyone is welcome. It presents itself as a diverse, authentic, and prejudice-free space, designed to feel comfortable without having to explain anything.

Atmosphere: bar, sofas, and terrace

The venue combines a bar with attentive staff, areas with sofas to sit comfortably, and a terrace on a pedestrian street. The atmosphere is described as relaxed and cozy during the day, and lively at night, always with the idea of being a place to meet people and make new friends.

A space also for rent: private events

In addition to being a bar and café, HBB rents its space for private events of all kinds, with a maximum capacity of 60 people. If you are organizing something — from a celebration to a presentation — it is an option to consider in the heart of Gaixample.

Also the venue for the Singles Dinner

HBB is not just a bar to have a drink: every Tuesday it also hosts the Singles Dinner, the fixed event of the community where a group of single people shares a table and meets new people with a dynamic of pins and “MATCH”. If you want to know how it works, you can read the full report we dedicated to it in Revista Rainbow.

A place to have breakfast without hurry, work for a while with a coffee, or have a drink at night without having to think about whether you will feel comfortable: that is what HBB offers in the heart of Barcelona. That’s why, from Revista Rainbow, we recommend it as a must-stop in Gaixample, day or night.
