La Mesa cannabis club is located on Carrer del Rec, in the Borne district of Barcelona. As one of Barcelona’s finest cannabis social clubs, La Mesa encourages its members to hang out, relax, meet other people, work, share ideas and promote initiatives as entrepreneurs instead of just as quick in-and-out smoker’s club customers. Producing extremely high-quality premium cannabis for both medical and recreational purposes, La Mesa categorically lives up to its slogan; “Smoking Hot Since 2012.” The club is hot and so is the pot; check out this review and see what they’ve got.

La Mesa: Environment
La Mesa’s front entrance will set you in the right mood straight away. Featuring large pieces of glass emblazoned with a bright flame, La Mesa lets the sunlight in but keeps prying eyes out. As you enter the door into the spacious reception area, you will find on your left a desk and a table for member registration.
To become a member, you will need to be referred by an existing member who must accompany you and be present during your inscription. You must provide a passport or sufficient identification and, after filling out a registration form with your personal details, the Terms and Conditions of the Club will be carefully explained to you. You must sign the documents to indicate your acceptance of the terms, and upon payment of the yearly membership fee (25 Euros) you will be provided with a member card featuring a barcode and your member number.

If you arrive at La Mesa with friends or family who are not members and who do not intend to join but wish to wait for you, they will be invited to do so in the front reception area. This keeps them safely off the street and helps to maintain a discreet environment. While they wait, your friends can try some delicious cucumber water courtesy of La Mesa.
[Important Note: To avoid the exchange of cash inside the club, it’s important to charge your member card with money at the registration desk in order to be able to collect anything from the club – including cannabis. Once you have checked-in with your photo ID and your fully charged member card, you can enter the main area, and collect your part of the harvest.]
As you enter the main area, you will immediately feel the warm
vintage-chic atmosphere the owners have created. Repurposed furniture, soft but colorful lights, live palm trees and decorative ventilation systems give a feeling of the art-deco period of the Roaring Twenties, while retaining some hint of post-modernism as well.
La Mesa has two principle gathering areas; the first one hosts the namesake of the place: two heavy wooden tables, “La Mesa.” This
area of the club is setup to be a work-friendly environment; a cooperative space where people can work, share their ideas, meet other entrepreneurs and promote their business activities.
On the right of this main area you will find the bar and dispensary with a wide selection of cannabis strains, concentrates, an events board and much more.
Once you’ve passed the “La Mesa” area, you can sit and chill in the second principle area, which is filled with stuffed sofas. Here you will also find an electronic mixing board and DJ station, a second bar offering snacks and drinks and a wide screen television set to whatever programming the club has selected for its members that day.
After visiting the club a couple of times I was surprised to see a wide range of different people arriving individually or with friends, primarily to study or work from the cozy environs of the club while enjoying some fresh marijuana. La Mesa is a balanced combination of a work-friendly, intellectually-stimulating space (they even provide headphones) and a place for fun, fascinating conversations and memorable encounters.
La Mesa: Marijuana Selection
La Mesa produces around 10 different cannabis strains ranging from Indica dominant strains to Sativa dominant strains to a variety of hybrids. Like other high-end clubs with balanced grow plans, La Mesa changes its menu from time to time, but during the times I visited the club, the following strains of raw flower were available:
LA Confidential
Magma
Critical
Lavender
Blueberry
Jack Herrer
Yumboldt
NYC Diesel
Amnesia Haze
Warlock
I have tried their Blueberry (20% S/80%5 I), Amnesia Haze (80% S / 20% I) and Lavender (20% S/80%5 I) strains and I must say that they are extremely high quality. Grab our RSS feed in the upper right of this page to get updated when I publish my next post; a review of the lovely Lavender strain.
La Mesa: Accessories & Events
To complete the vintage-chic atmosphere, La Mesa plays slow salsa and soul during the day and funk and chill-out music at night, replete with two flat screens and a wide screen playing music videos. Magazines, books, cannabis literature, board games and free Wi-Fi are available to all members.
La Mesa offers many activities in order to create camaraderie between members and to create a feeling of unity and solidarity. Each day a documentary (generally cannabis related) is shown at 1pm, and a DJ starts playing music at 7pm. The topic for documentaries and DJ set lists change on a weekly basis; schedules and programs are sent to all members in an emailed newsletter, or these events can be checked on the board next to the first bar/dispensary.
Every two weeks La Mesa organizes a Sunday Fair/Showroom for its four “members of the month” to promote their business (craft, artwork, food etc). This allows members a chance to share their passions and trades with other members in a cannabis-friendly environment; a rarity in the business world.
The second bar for food and drinks offers healthy beverages (smoothies, fresh juices, water, coffee and tea) and a few soft alcoholic drinks like beer, wine or cava, as well as a few pastries. Some evenings, La Mesa organizes “Delivery session” nights, where the staff orders food for the members who want to have dinner for 10 Euros each, with a wide choice of ethnic cuisine such as Indonesian, Japanese, Mexican, typical Spanish sandwiches etc.
La Mesa: Staff
The staff at La Mesa is approachable, friendly and multilingual. They will make you feel welcomed and at home, and this is a distinctly different feeling than what you might find at a traditional club or bar. The president of La Mesa and its staff are exceptionally conscious about the well-being of their members, as I have observed them at nearly all times moving quickly and efficiently around to keep the place clean, organized and with all the services available with no interruption.

Conclusion
La Mesa is an outstanding place to work, read, meet like-minded people, and share cannabis in an incredibly comfortable and welcoming environment. With its wide range of high quality marijuana strains and concentrates, its warm staff and unforgettable environment, you will definitely want to come back to hang out again and again – I did!

This club is tucked away very discreetly close to the beach and gothic quarter. The reception staff was very friendly, and the application process was fast. So I was smoking very quickly. The selection was very good and there were many items available for use and the contributions very reasonable. The club has a DJ booth, tv and big tables. There is fast wifi and places to bring your laptop. This is a cool club I will be sure to visit daily. Thanks Russ.
Too many great things to say about this place I don’t know where to begin. First off, thank you to Russ for putting us in contact with La Mesa. Second, la Mesa is amazing. The staff are so friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is awesome. Air conditioning was so nice. Interesting videos playing on the TVs, keeps you entertained. Overall, I will definitely recommend La Mesa to anyone staying in Barcelona. Thanks again Russ, and la Mesa. You guys are awesome.
I’ve member at a few social clubs in bcn. And have to say that la Mesa is the best one. Some clubs you have REALLY sleazy personalitys coming in and out,even street fights just outside from the club they even asked me if I could join and help! Hahah ,or you have these other clubs where they have overflow of bouncers that has a job to be scary, or just a lot of kids form all over, witch create a lot of waiting,no space to sit. They gonna put there music on,OVER priced..What It comes to is that
La Mesa has non of these factors.
If u want a good spot In bcn this is def the place.
[member share costs] are normal
They have good equipment
Good lighting
Not to many tourists as I’ve seen.
There is just one thing, the “smoothie” it’s the worst ever. Seriously! Horrible wanna write more about that smoothie but that would be on smoothiegames.org ;p
And keep in mind, don’t expect American service. You’re in Spain. Atleast I am:)
La Mesa 5/5
Big thanks to Russ;)
Beautiful facility. Knowledgeable staff. Excellent variety. It was a terrific experience all around. Highly recommend.
Very interesting experience to see this part of Spain! Thank you so much to MarijuanaGames.org for pointing out La Mesa and connecting me to the club.
Became member of this club a couple of days ago. I must say it was a great experience !!
The place is really well decorated and modern.
Staff is really kind and explains everything very well with a smile!
The product found there is of exeptional quality, I have rarely seen such levels of niceness in one single place… For sure La Mesa know what they are talking about!!!
Very happy to now be a member of this fine establishment…
I give it 10 out of 10!!
Awesome, thanks for joining us!
Hi Russ,
My name is Rune, I’m a 24 year old Norwegian, and I am traveling to Barcelona tonight. I would love to become a member of La Mesa, as it seems like a wonderful atmosphere too meet new people and enjoy some high quality Cannabis. Sadly I don’t know anyone in Barcelona (yet), thus I don’t have anyone who can vouch for me. Do you have any advice as to how I should go about getting a membership, so that I can partake in this wonderful culture? Maybe you or someone you know would be willing to meet me for a chat. I would be happy to write an email with more information about what I do and who I am so that you can determine if I’m the right kind of person for the Club.
Best regards,
Rune
Hi Rune; congratulations on your trip to Barcelona! La Mesa is one of the best cannabis clubs in the city, so you are wise to want membership there. However, we will need to have a discussion about it, so please email me at russ@marijuanagames.org Peace -Russ
I became a La Mesa member today. Everyone there was nice and friendly, made the process very friendly, many thanks to the La Mesa team and Russ Hudson
Just became a member of La Mesa, and all I can say is…”WOW!” Everyone was so friendly, the process was very smooth, the place is cozy and chilled, and the herb was outta sight. Thanks to Russ for his kind help in getting me sorted. I had already been enjoying Barcelona before my visit to La Mesa. After my visit, the city took on a whole new perspective. I had so much fun, I’m literally a changed man. Hopefully I’ll be back soon. Thanks Russ and La Mesa!
Thank you for your kind words, Ted.
Excellent club! Great mood, very friendly staff. Weed is excellent quality.
I was sent to La Mesa by Russ and met gentle people over there. Everything was just great, good weed, friendly place, fine at all.
I am very, very thankful to Russ for his attention, kindness and help, allowing me to become La Mesa member and for having fun, while I was in Barcelona.
Thanks, Roberto! I hope to see you there again soon. 😉 Peace -Russ
Thanks heaps Russ for your prompt and efficient help. It was hugely appriciated.
The Club La Mesa is a fantastic place with friendly informative staff. The atmosphere was gripping.The Fellow patrons were friendly and talkative while the whole place buzzed with energy.
10/10 I would highly reccomnd.
Thanks for the glowing review, Jason! We are proud to have you as a member and know that you will represent us well. 😉 Peace -Russ
Hey Russ,
I kindly wanted to ask you whether it is possible to join La Mesa or any of the other well-known clubs (LaMente, Sweet Dreams, Green Age, Smoke Green ) with just over 18 years ?
Greets
Hi Valentin; as far as I am aware, all of the clubs you mention require members to be 21+. In fact, at this time I don’t know of any clubs accepting people who are 18+, but there may be one or two left in the city if you can find them and get a sponsor. Good luck! Peace -Russ
So, how can I get a referral for me and my girlfriend to join this club?
You can start by using proper salutations and common courtesy.
Hey Russ, Thanks so much for your help with joining La Mesa. Awesome environment and very relaxed. Also, really friendly staff made the process so easy. Can see myself spending a lot more time in there!
HELLO RUSS J MUCH WOULD BE PART OF LA MESA IS WHAT YOU CAN SPONSOR ME SA WOULD REALLY WELL I KNOW THAT IS ONE OF THE MESA CLUBS OF THE CITY THAT IS WHY HIGHER QUALITY J WOULD MAKE PARTY AND I WANTED TO KNOW IS C TRUE WHEN YOU IS THE REGISTRATION MUST WAIT 24 hours BEFORE BENEFIT CLUB? THANKS
Hi Jeremy; I’m having a little trouble understanding what you’re asking. Please email me at russ@marijuanagames.org and I will try to answer your questions and help you out. Peace -Russ
Hi Russ, this was a great recommendation! The club has a good vibe , the front desk folks were friendly and explained everything clearly, After the tour, the bud-tender was very helpful asking questions to help me get what I needed. Thanks again.
Thanks Cheryl! We’re honored to have you as a member. See you around! Peace -Russ
Hey Russ,
Thanks big time for your help with La Mesa. Everything worked perfectly, just as you said. What a thrill it was for me to actually [acquire] my favorite substance over the counter, not to mention not needing to hit up my son to hit up his friends/dealers.
I picked out an 80/20 sativa, Amnesia Haze, which provided a nice, “buzzy” buzz to add another level of appreciation to my evening watching Flamenco at the Opera House. The music, dancing and the building itself -awesome- made for a great night.
And La Mesa was a lot of fun. The young lady behind the counter was very helpful as were two members who helped me deal with a recalcitrant bong: I vaporize at home and it’s been
a long time since I’ve used a water pipe. They probably figured I was a real piker. Enjoyed the vibe there too. Funky, low lighting, great music, exotic. Very cool.
And thanks again, Russ. La Mesa made for a great our trip to Barcelona
Thanks for your comments, Vinnie! We are proud to have you as a member. See you in the club soon! Peace -Russ
HELLO ROSS IN 2 WEEK I WOULD RETURN AND BCN I WOULD MUCH TO BE PART OF THE HIGH RANGE CLUB
J WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS WHAT YOU CAN SPONSOR ME AND THAT IS TRUE THAT IS C AFTER THE REGISTRATION MUST WAIT FOR POWER H 24 REMOVE MY COLLECTION
Is this the club with the most amount of top quality strains? I mean high end strains, like hazes and kushes instead of the old school mid grade strains.
Well, each club generally has a well-balanced selection of low grade, mid grade and high grade strains, as well as some outdoor choices. La Mesa has an excellent selection of products available to members – you can see a picture of the menu choices in this article and compare it to the choices available at other clubs.
I visited “la mesa” after reading about Russ and emailing with him back and forth a bit. Really nice guy, reliable with email, solid dude. The place is tops, professionsl, friendly, laid back. As it should be. Top grade stuff too. Great experience.
Thanks, mate!
So because of the new rules, new members have to wait 24hrs before getting weed from this club?
I joined the club last week. It has a great location in the heart of El Born. Friendly atmosphere and very friendly staff, that explained all legal and safety measures that you need to know. I had a great time 🙂
The club was really nice. The weed was extremly good. Very tasteful. The staff was also very friendly. Thanks Russ, i really appreciated your help!
feel like in Amsterdam but in Barcelona with the sun & the beach in more 🙂
very pleasant place with sofa, tables and bar with everything you need!
thanks Russ
Became a member of La Mesa this week. Thank you Russ for your outstanding assistance beyond the call of duty.
New rules; there’s 24 hour wait before new members can avail themselves of any of the club’s facilities.
This review, if anything, doesn’t go far enough in it’s praise. The staff are particularly helpful, and the quality on offer is exceedingly high.

I’ll be in Barcelona the next 16/06 and it will be great to become a member of this club!

Hi Giacomo! Thank you so much for your compliments – I really enjoyed writing the review so I am happy that you find it interesting. La Mesa is definitely a great place! If you would like to discuss membership, my suggestion is to contact Russ, the primary editor of the site. He will have some questions for you and will want to provide you with some important information. You may contact him the day before you get to Barcelona at russ@marijuanagames.org, or just use the contact form in the main menu. In the meantime, you should read the following articles, which will tell you everything you need to know about the clubs in BCN:
