Which is the best cannabis club in Barcelona? That really depends on what you’re looking for, but since I get this question from readers quite frequently, I’ll detail what I consider to be the 5 best smoker’s clubs in my favorite city in the world, Barcelona.
[UPDATE 2016: This post applies to the best clubs in Barcelona for 2014-2015. Click here to see the Best Cannabis Clubs in Barcelona 2016.]
THE 5 BEST CANNABIS CLUBS IN BARCELONA SPAIN
#1. La Mesa!
Most notable feature: The People
Location: El Born, Barcelona
La Mesa is without a doubt the Best Cannabis Club in Barcelona – and also the most professional. Apart from its posh environment, exciting ambiance and superior selection of high-grade cannabis and concentrates, what makes La Mesa the best smoker’s club in BCN is the people. From the warm and extremely professional staff to the legions of intelligent, productive and engaging members, the people of La Mesa are extraordinary. Those people are the reason I find myself at La Mesa virtually every night of the week. That, and the chess tournaments. We play a lot of chess at La Mesa. 😉

#2. Dr. Dou
Most notable feature: Location
Location: El Raval, Barcelona
Dr. Dou smoking club is one of the coolest private marijuana clubs in Barcelona. Mellow, interesting and staffed by a fantastic group of people, this club is located a short walk away from the heart of Barcelona. From Placa Catalunya and Las Ramblas, Dr. Dou provides a nearby getaway in a quiet neighborhood that stands in sharp contrast to the teeming Ramblas and eastern edge of Raval. Known for its celebration of local artists and for its regular “Taco Nights,” Dr. Dou is down-to-earth but still somehow feels deliciously exclusive.
#3. LaMente
Most notable feature: Ambiance
Location: El Raval, Barcelona
Decorated like a 50’s American diner strongly influenced by Spanish modernism, LaMente boasts an environment that is unlike any other cannabis club in Barcelona. Just a few minute walk from Placa Catalunya, LaMente is an excellent place to work or study, to meet business associates or just to hang out with friends. LaMente offers a solid, unique marijuana menu full of superior strains that show the club is dedicated to producing something exemplary for their members.
#4. Choko
Most notable feature: Artistic Expression
Location: El Gotic, Barcelona
Choko is a vast, tastefully appointed private cannabis club located only steps from Placa Catalunya, just off the busy Via Laietana. Choko offers its members a selection of weed that is exceedingly difficult to find elsewhere in Barcelona. For instance, I visited the club in January 2015, and had the joy of sampling their famous proprietary Choko strain, as well as their Agent Orange marijuana strains, which were both potent and memorable. (In fact, the Choko strain is in my opinion the best sativa available in Barcelona as of March 2015.) Choko frames the club’s comfortable and spacious interior with some rather stunning works of art that you really need to see to believe.

#5. Green Age
Most notable feature: In-House Restaurant
Location: Gracia, Barcelona
Green Age is a little “off the beaten path” for those who live or work in the center of Barcelona, but the club is so beautiful and has such excellent weed that for many, it’s worth it to be a member. One of the primary reasons that I like this club is because it has an in-house restaurant. At nearly all other clubs, I constantly have to interrupt my work (I often work from my laptop) to go get something to eat. At Green Age, I can work, smoke some weed, eat some food and then get focused on work again without interruption.

Looking forward to having a smoke in Barcelona ha ha
Hey Russ my name is Shahar , I’m in Barcelona right now and I wanted to know if you can give me a hand with directions of how and were can I find weed
Hola Shahar; the only thing that I can really do is to sponsor you at a private cannabis club if you qualify. To request sponsorship, please email me at russ@marijuanagames.org. Peace -Russ
Hey Rus,
I just would like to know if in any of your described clubs it´s possible to play billard or table footbal…and which one has the lowest member fee and/or charge for the weed?
Best greetings and thanks for the help 🙂
There are more than 200 clubs in the city so you can probably find what you are looking for, but in the clubs I have described here Dr. Dou has ping pong and Choko will soon have a professional billiards table. Like most clubs they all have a similar membership fee of 20-30 Euro and most require similar member share fees from their members, but we don’t discuss that in public. Peace -Russ
Mexicano turista buscando momentos de inspiracion encontre esta web… Podria accesar a Mr Doub esta noche??… O mañana am?… Mañana por la tarde viajo…
Hi Russ, I’m already in barca and wanted to ask a question, I got a membership in Dragon social club, if I want to see other clubs do I need to pay the membership in all of them, or does my membership allow me to enter any club?
Hola Stefania; each club is a completely separate private entity/association. I recommend reading the materials on my blog about Barcelona to understand how the clubs work: https://marijuanagames.org/tag/barcelona-cannabis-clubs/ Peace -Russ
Bonjour Miguel,
Не все говорят по-французски. Возможно, если бы вы спросили его на своем родном языке, вы может повезти?
Bonne chance!
פּונקט 😉

Hello Russ, I and my significant other are coming from the 7th to the 11 I know it’s a short time.. but we want to make the best of it.
My question is about shatter or amber or oils
Could you please recommend the best source according to your knowledge thank you in advance:)
Hola Alain; actually, the only two concentrates that I use are both from La Mesa; the Black Domina or similar shatter, and their world-famous Amnesia Iceolator. 😉 Peace -Russ
Hi Russ, Myself and a friend are coming to Barcelona in May, If I contact you a day or two beforehand will you be able to refer us to the clubs? we want to go to Dr Dou and La Mesa. Also can you recommend the best neighbourhood to stay in so we are walking distance to these two clubs? Thanks Russ, Alan
Hola Alan; Yes, if you email me 24 hours prior to your arrival I will be happy to assist provided you meet all of the necessary requirements. The two clubs you mentioned are on opposite ends of the city center, Raval and Born, which means the best “middle ground” will be Gotico. Talk to you in the spring. Peace -Russ

Hi Russ,
Thank you for sponsoring and helping us get the membership at La Mesa club in Barcelona…. I can’t find the exact words to explain the time we had overthere. Best regards to you and all La Mesa people!
Hola Pedja; thank you for your comment, we are proud to have you as a member! See you around the club. 😉 Peace -Russ
Hi Russ. Thanks for the info, definitely sound better than the place I had been going last few times. What’s the best way of finding a sponsor to get me into these places? Cheers
Hola James; oh that sucks man, what club have you been going to? Send me an email at russ@marijuanagames.org and we can discuss it there. Peace -Russ
La Mesa was definitely superb. I can’t compare to the other places in Barcelona as this is the only one I’ve joined, but the concentrates are especially excellent. Caught me off guard, actually 🙂
As described by others, the product was excellent, the staff friendly, knowledgeable and keep the areas clean. Devices available there for use. Chill vibe, good music, people working, hanging out, playing chess, all sorts of personalities, relaxing atmosphere. Staff asked to make sure we were enjoying our selection after we were there a while.
Highly recommend.
Thanks for referring us there Russ, greatly appreciated.
Thanks! 😉
Hi Russ, i want to know if all the club are already open ? And if we need to have a godfather or not?
Forbidden under 21years old or 18?
Thanks !
Hola Ornano; I am not sure what you mean by “if the club are already open?” Yes, by law you need a sponsor in order to join any private cannabis club in Spain. Most cannabis clubs in Barcelona are 21+, but a couple are 18+. In other areas of the country I am not sure, but probably most are 21+. If you would like to make an application to join, please email me at russ@marijuanagames.org and I will be happy to assist you. Peace -Russ
Hi Russ, thanks again for all the information you provide! I m right now staying in Urgell district for 3 days and I’d like to know what are the best spot around you can advice me? How can i became a member if I am not sponsored by anybody?
Thanks again!!
Hi Julien; in order to join a legitimate private cannabis club in Spain, you must be sponsored by a current member. If just anyone could join, then the clubs would be considered public and could not exist under the law. I got your email and responded there, hopefully I can help. Peace -Russ
Hi Russ, just wanted to say thanks for putting together such a helpful and informative site. Me and my partner are heading out to Barca in 2 weeks and wanted to sample some Spanish cannabis culture after hearing some great things. We didnt know where to start but these pages have helped explain a lot. I will be sending an email over to get your advice on acquiring a memberships a bit closer to our trip, I see that you recommend waiting until 48 hours prior to our arrival so I didn’t want to pester you too early!
Thanks again.
Scott
Cool, thanks Scott! Peace -Russ
Is there any reliable directory of all of the cannabis clubs in Barcelona and the rest of Spain if possible? Curious to see how many there are and such.
Hi Jay; we built such a directory a little over a year ago, but it has not been updated since then so some clubs have closed, and some new ones have opened. But you may be able to find what you need, and we plan to update it this spring: https://marijuanagames.org/marijuana-directory/ Peace -Russ
Hi
How many grams can i get at once and do any of these clubs allow members who are under 21 (i’m 18 btw) and if not can you recommend a club for me who accept people who are 18
Hi Roronoa; each club has different policies, so it depends. But in general you can aquire up to 5 grams per day, and up to 80 grams per month in most cases. Right now I do not know of any clubs that are accepting new members who are under the age of 21. Peace -Russ
Hello. Not going to Barcelona until September 2016 (I know) but I am just striking up a casual conversation so we can be fast friends by then. *grin* there will be 6 of us… We will rent a house for a week. Does this count as a Spanish address or does your ID have to have the address?
Fondly
Kat
Hi Kat; things have changed frequently in the cannabis industry here in Barcelona, so I really can’t guess what the requirements will be that far in the future. So far your ID has never had to feature your address…
