SESH

Fluid, located at Carrer de Salvà 21 in the vibrant district of Poble-sec, Barcelona, has long been a cornerstone of the city’s underground nightlife scene. Established in the early 2000s, Fluid quickly garnered a reputation as a welcoming and inclusive space that championed both international sounds and local talent. Not just a nightspot, but a community hub, Fluid is deeply woven into the fabric of Poble-sec’s creative culture, often hosting events that transcend simple club nights to encompass art exhibitions, live music, and spoken word performances.

The venue is characterized by its cozy, intimate layout—a bar with lush cocktails and a small but powerful dance floor—which has lent itself to those unforgettable, close-knit nights that regulars reminisce about long after. Over time, while new nightlife trends have come and gone in Barcelona and many other clubs have changed locations or undergone major facelifts, Fluid has largely retained its original structure and spirit, mindful of the authenticity that makes it so beloved. It has witnessed subtle updates, including sound system improvements and decor touches, all designed to keep the vibe current yet familiar, never sacrificing the laid-back approach that sets it apart from the more commercialized venues of the city.

Through the years, Fluid’s role as both a launch pad for up-and-coming DJs and a pilgrimage spot for music aficionados has only solidified, making it an essential reference point in Barcelona’s nightlife history. Notable artists who have performed at Fluid include international acts such as Gilles Peterson, Nickodemus, and DJ Vadim, as well as celebrated local talents like DJ el Guincho, Carles López, Virginie, and Rubén Molina.
