Small, discreet and uptown
Boris breaks the usual Barcelona split, where the electronic clubs are downtown (Raval, Poble-sec, Poblenou) and the uptown clubs play hits and reggaeton. Its website calls it 'hidden in plain sight in uptown Barcelona' and 'exclusive, discreet', and its Instagram bio goes further: 'The key to Barcelona's club culture'. Mixmag described it as a club of about 250 people focused on intimacy, with techno, deep house, afro house, melodic sounds and amapiano. In 2026 it is also among the Catalan clubs nominated for The World's 100 Best Clubs, which explains why it comes up so often when people ask where to go for good electronic music without heading to the beach clubs.
Nights and music
The website gives the timetable: Thursday from 00:30 to 05:00, and Friday and Saturday from 00:30 to 06:00. There are also afternoon parties: for Halloween 2026, Saturday 31 October had a 'Funkey' session from 18:00 and then the night from 00:30. On New Year's Eve 2026 it opens from 01:00 to 06:00. The music is electronic throughout, with house and afro house at the centre and techno and melodic sounds at the edges.
Techno and electronic clubs in Barcelona →Age and dress code
Boris answers this in its FAQ: 'The minimum age is usually 21+ on Thursdays and 25+ on Fridays and Saturdays.' Its Halloween 2026 parties, afternoon and night, were listed as 21+. Some media have published other figures, so treat the club's FAQ as the reference and check your specific party. Catalan law itself only keeps under-16s out of clubs; the rest is the club's admission policy. The dress code is also in the FAQ: 'elegant and classy attire is expected; sportswear or overly casual clothing is not allowed.' Bring a passport or ID card.
Prices
For Halloween 2026 the night party started at €5 before 01:30 and €10 general, and the afternoon session from €10 with a drink (guide prices, October 2026). The club's FAQ puts VIP tables from around €400, depending on the event. Tables and guest list go through WhatsApp.
All the Zona Alta clubs →Getting home
Boris is in the uptown part of Sant Gervasi, so think about the way back. The metro closes at midnight on Thursdays, runs until 02:00 on Fridays and all night on Saturdays. Otherwise the NitBus runs every 20 minutes from 22:30 to 06:00, and almost every line passes through Plaça de Catalunya.
