The Supermercat Raval is a vibrant nightclub nestled in the heart of Barcelona’s Raval district, Spain. Originally opening its doors in the mid-2010s, the club was established in a repurposed supermarket, a fact that inspired its quirky name and urban-retro design. From its inception, Supermercat Raval quickly became a fixture of the city’s eclectic nightlife, reflecting the multicultural dynamism of Raval itself, a neighborhood known for its diverse communities and creative energy.

The venue earned a reputation for its inclusive atmosphere, affordable drinks, and commitment to showcasing both emerging and established talent across genres such as electronic, house, indie, and world music. The club also fostered a strong sense of community, often hosting cultural events, art exhibitions, and collaborations with local collectives and festivals, contributing significantly to Barcelona’s underground arts scene. Over time, Supermercat Raval underwent minor renovations to improve sound quality and expand dancefloor space but remained steadfastly at its original location, preserving much of its distinctive supermarket-inspired interior décor—including vintage signage and shopping carts repurposed as ad hoc furniture.

Its accessibility and progressive booking policy attracted a loyal local following as well as curious tourists seeking an authentic Barcelona nightlife experience. Notable artists who have performed at Supermercat Raval include international names such as DJ Koze, Peggy Gou, and Gilles Peterson, alongside celebrated local acts like John Talabot, Pional, Alicia Carrera, and the multidisciplinary artist collective L’Exotighost.
