Welcome to

At the heart of the Barceloneta, we are opening the first kindergarten for adults. With wine. And inspiration. And tools. And creative bartenders who listen and give you advice. And other adults who want to play.
Garage Cafe Barcelona is a one-of-a-kind space for people looking to unwind after work by developing a new hobby, writing their dream job business plan, nerding out about things they love with other nerds, getting inspiration, or just playing with our creative tools.
"Who said that playing and having fun was just for kids?" Not Plato, nor we. He, in fact, said that an hour of play is worth a lifetime of conversation.
How it works
You can pay per hour or get a monthly subscription. With that, you can access our calendar to book your spot. We also welcome walk-ins, but we can't guarantee a spot.
Starting at 6eur/hour!

Why should I join?
Community. Fun. Self-realization. Learning something new. Feeling excited. Giving space to your inner child to play.
Imagine instead of going home after work, coming to play with your new friend at a cool space by the beach. Sounds pretty nice, right? Give it a try, let your inner child come play, not work.
We bet this is not who you wanted to be as a child.
