The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Barceloneta
Originally a fisherman’s quarter, this quaint area can’t escape its small village feel: laundry hanging over the narrow streets, old ladies clamoring at each other from their balconies and elder gentlemen playing games on short wooden benches gossiping the day away, Barceloneta could double as a film set. Artists line the boardwalk displaying their magnificently detailed sand structures making this the most visited beach in the city (the shirtless men working out might help too). You’ll know by the delicious aroma that you're in the right place to try some of the best and most authentic seafood including paella, Spain’s national dish.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

the club of shoko has a really nice atmosphere, although the drinks are very overpriced, we had a great night.
a few days after, we came back for some drinks and shisha, but were shocked that one shisha is 80€!! in other European countries we had shishas with way better quality and payed 20€ max. the tabacco taste was obviously average, but again the atmosphere was great.
pay attention to the prices before you spend you money on things you can get for way cheaper in the center of Barcelona

The club is the best one we went to, better than opium and we only went to the two so shoko was more our vibe. Very good club and nice interior. Only major issue was that they keep shisha pipes on the vip tables! Please be careful if you go, they do not cover the metal of the shisha pipes and they are around many drunk people, it is very unsafe! I actually now have a 3rd degree burn because of it. A regret of mine is that I didn’t report it to staff and tried my best to just deal with cooling it down and having a fun rest of the night. I would upload a picture but it’s too gross.

Popular club in Barcelona. The drinks were average price (around 12 euro for vodka soda). Great music and fun dance floor. Had a large outdoor area too. They have special deals on certain days so look into that

this placed sucked This nightclub falls short in numerous ways, from its lackluster ambiance to its subpar music selection. The dim lighting fails to create an enticing atmosphere, leaving patrons feeling underwhelmed. The overcrowded dance floor makes it nearly impossible to move freely, let alone enjoy oneself. The drink prices are exorbitant, offering little value for the steep cost. Moreover, the staff's attitude is indifferent, contributing to an overall unpleasant experience. In essence, this nightclub fails to deliver on the promise of a memorable night out, leaving guests disappointed and eager to seek entertainment elsewhere.

During my vacation I was there 2 times: the first was a beautiful and fun evening, the second arrival with my boyfriend with the ticket already paid in a royal placa that ensures us entry, so we in a group of 50 people trust and go. The whole group comes in with the royal placa mold except us, and they tell us the problem is the mold... We complain and explain the situation but we are ignored, I also ask for the complaints sheet and I am denied that too. It's a shame that in a place with this potential, certain people work, and these racist people are also black. Fucking rude bouncers say it's not their problem and if you ask them questions they don't answer you, they pretend they can't hear you and turn their backs on you while you're talking to them. Animals are better than you, you are truly shameful.

Last 11/12/2025, at 01:20, I went to SHÔKO Barcelona after queuing. Upon arrival, one of the porters (smaller, black, with a beard) checked my Spanish ID and, seeing that my birthplace is Morocco, began asking me unnecessary and clearly discriminatory questions:
"Where are you from?" (although I had my ID in my hand).
"Have you bought admission?"A If I have (when this can be purchased inside).
"Who are you with?" R. At the moment only my friend comes after he has his entrance and can pass the access control alone, I let him wait for him when I arrive I leave you will not enter .the reason without .
These questions were not asked of the people in front or behind me in line. Despite my respectful attitude, it became clear that I was looking for a reason to refuse entry, which I eventually did without giving any explanation. When I asked for a reason, he just ignored me. And I treat myself aggressively.
This is not the first time I have experienced this discriminatory treatment at SHÔKO Barcelona. On one previous occasion, I was kept waiting more than 10 minutes with unnecessary questions while several people were let through. Reading other reviews, I realized that I’m not the only one who has experienced this despite the people who do not leave a review, but it seems that the administration does not take action.
This type of discrimination is outrageous and totally unacceptable. After this last experience, I have filed a formal complaint with the competent authorities of Catalonia and I am in the process of claiming the return of my tickets that I have been waiting for the return for days but nothing they do not answer . I hope that the institutions will act and that SHÔKO will reflect to eradicate these discriminatory practices that damage its reputation and affect its customers.
We all deserve to enjoy a way out without facing discrimination or mistreatment. I hope this review will help others to be informed and take precautions.

Shame. In reality, the club is very low level, time to renew. The entry conditions do not correspond to the conditions specified on the club page. You are required to pay a large sum (250eur) and buy a bottle to enter the club. It is a lie that it is allowed only with reservations but for 5 minutes other people are allowed without reservation. There is no face control in the club - just buy a bottle for 250 and go inside or don't buy and go elsewhere and everyone says the same thing. No one looks at the style of clothing. We just got inside to buy a bottle. The conclusion is that if you want to have no problems with admission you must have a 250eur entrance fee. Bar prices do not match the menu. They are determined by the bartender according to his wishes where they could not be shown by either the bartender or the service staff. The conclusion is that the club is a big mess with the management, the pricing system and the admission system compared to other European clubs. I don’t recommend wasting time because the club is a place where there is no respect for the client and you just want to lure money. I wish the club change and success.

The security at the entrance door is super Racist yes Racist seeing you and asking your origin is the worst thing for them if you are from Latin America they mock you and discriminate against you without further ado without anyone being able to wash your attention ATTENTION no manager exists it is like a jungle you have to survive Without further ado, because if you claim your rights, they simply put their hand on you and aggressively push you aside. It's horrible. I've been out with friends throughout almost all of Barcelona, but Shoko left me the worst. Those who run this business should at least look at their people's reviews and do something about it with their workers, especially the doormen......

Rude staff, had the nerve to tell me I can't stand on the public boardwalk in front, along the beachfront, even though it's a PUBLIC boardwalk and NOT owned by or part of the restaurant at all! Thug security staff harassing people for no reason. When I asked the manager why I was told to move, they replied that they were afraid of a terrorist attack! Wtf!

An ugly and horrible service that can be!! They always treat customers badly, girls at the bar talk like you're waiting for something free, not friendly, I don't know why every service person in this place looks like a dog, I never recommend, and if you have a little problem, they won't listen to you. They take you out of the club with terrible security, no matter how much money you have spent! A fatal service, it seems like you are in a Jail! Better name for this place not SHOKO to PRISON!! If you like an exotic and tough experience welcome to Shoko))

If a girl is injured in your club are you going to do something? Bleeding everywhere? 3 days in the hospital?

I would doubt it. The people who run this club didn’t appear to be concerned at all with their patrons, in my opinion.
