When Barcelonans go out at night, they really mean night; restaurants and bars are busiest around 10pm and most clubs do not warm up until around 2am, so if you are heading out, expect to be late, or early, returning to bed.
The club, opened in 2001, has earned a reputation for attracting high-class clientele; the guest list has been known to feature stars such as actor Nicolas Cage and sport stars such as Ronaldhino, Deco, Ronaldo, Carlos Puyol, Gemma Mengual and Rafael Nadal. The club is made up of seven different environments and has two VIP areas that offer a chance to mingle with the great and the good of Barcelona. The Sutton Club is a must for those who love to dance the night away, as the club features a DJ and a spacious dance floor.
