CDLC (Carpe Diem Lounge Club) is a restaurant that becomes a club late at night, at Passeig Marítim 32 on the Port Olímpic seafront in Barcelona, Spain.

Dinner first, club later
CDLC is the first of the four seafront clubs if you walk from the Barceloneta: number 32, then Opium at 34 and Shôko at 36. It works differently from its neighbours. It's a restaurant first, with the kitchen open from noon to 01:00, and the club grows out of dinner rather than starting at a fixed door time. The website presents it as one of the world's best restaurant-clubs and highlights its long link with Dom Pérignon, which it dates to 2008; both are the venue's own words. Tables are booked through its website, and that booking is what most people do here: dinner with a group, then stay on as the music goes up.
Hours: which nights are real club nights
The Instagram bio gives the full timetable: Sunday to Wednesday from 12:00 to 02:00, Thursday until 05:00, Friday and Saturday until 06:00. Read that as two venues in one. Early in the week CDLC is a late restaurant and cocktail lounge that closes at 02:00. From Thursday it stays open into club hours, and Friday and Saturday are the proper nights out, ending at the 06:00 limit that Catalan rules set for clubs on weekends. For Halloween 2026 the venue announced a themed dinner with DJs on Saturday 31 October.
Music and crowd
Directories describe the music as deep house, tech house and R&B: more lounge-to-dancefloor than the hits of Opium or the hip-hop of Shôko. Because it's a restaurant first, it suits groups celebrating something and people who booked a table for dinner. If you want a big dance floor from midnight, Opium or Ku will suit you better; if you want to eat well and end up dancing without changing venue, this is the one.
Age and dress code
CDLC doesn't publish a minimum age or a written dress code. Catalan law keeps under-16s out of clubs, and in club hours most venues on this strip work as 18+, so bring photo ID. For dress, think of it as a smart restaurant that turns into a club: a shirt or a nice top, long trousers or a dress and decent shoes. Beachwear and sportswear are out of place here in any case.

Dinner-and-party is CDLC's natural format for New Year's Eve, but as of 21 October 2026 its 2026 programme wasn't published yet; we'll add it when it is. The nearest metro is Ciutadella | Vila Olímpica on line 4. If you leave after 02:00 on a weekday or after midnight on a Sunday, use the NitBus, every 20 minutes until 06:00.
