Barcelona, Barcelona
Major gay club with two dance rooms and nightly drag shows in Eixample.
Arena Experience is the largest gay club in Barcelona and the main room of Grupo Arena, the company that has run the city's gay nightlife since 1990, when it opened Punto BCN. It sits on Ronda de Sant Pere at the top of the Eixample, a short walk from the Gaixample bars, and brings the group's long-running "Madre" and "Classic" party concepts together under one roof: a big main floor that swings between commercial pop and throwbacks, rooms that lean into house and urban sounds, and a darkroom off to the side. Drag and striptease are a nightly fixture here rather than an occasional add-on, and the programming rotates by night of the week, from Vegas Night to neon, legends, and tribute shows. The crowd is young, mixed local-and-traveler, and builds late: nothing really starts until the early hours, so this is where a Gaixample night ends rather than begins. Free or discounted entry flyers circulate at bars across the neighborhood if you grab one before you go.

Provincetown is famous for its nightlife, but the daytime is half the magic — gay beaches, whale watching, the Pilgrim Monument, dune tours and a historic art colony. Here's the complete guide to what to do in P-town beyond the bars.

Cherry Grove is where gay America summered before there was a word for it. Here's the complete guide to Fire Island's original queer hamlet — its history, its drag-soaked nightlife, where to stay and eat, the beach, and how it differs from the Pines next door.
