HQ Barcelona is one of the most chic and private clubs in town. Its owner has created a space where everyone wants to be; however, there is one important condition to becoming a member. You can get in only if someone leads you by the hand. Many establishments use a recommendation system, but HQ has gone one step further: you won’t be able to use anything you find inside until a month after you’ve received the membership card. Thus, the club resolves the problem with tourists and casual visitors.
So, what is so attractive about the association that makes it one of the most expensive yet most popular clubs in the city?
First of all, its location: HQ is situated in the city center on one of the most expensive and fanciest streets in Eixample. Right around the corner, there is a famous restaurant owned by Messi, Passeig de Gracia, and Gaudí’s masterpieces are just a few steps away. The street is almost entirely pedestrian with a lot of terraces.
Secondly, the club itself is a huge place with stylish interior design, greenery, and nice furniture, specially created for HQ. You’ll find here a unique lighting system that imitates the daylight: there is a feeling that the sun is shining through the rooftop. There are loads of art objects scattered around the space: artsy folks often show their works here. The club produces its own branded products (you can spot here some ashtrays and coasters with the inscription “Babushka”) and constantly organizes events (parties, yoga) and competitions in Russian billiards.
HQ is a fashionable, exclusive place created for “the right folks,” offering a super amicable, stylish atmosphere with a quality product. Nobody gets here by chance, but there is also neither showing-off nor arrogance here: all the visitors come to the association to have fun and socialize. This is exactly what makes the club the most attractive and alluring spot and one of the most famous in and beyond Barcelona.

Furthermore, in contrast to coffee shops in Amsterdam, you cannot just walk in off the street without an invitation letter; you will be rejected. You can become a member of the club in 2 ways:
This regulatory approach restricts the promotion of cannabis culture, especially among children and teenagers, but makes marijuana accessible and legal for adult consumers, both residents and visitors to the Kingdom.
