From Socialize in Spanish

**Are you learning Spanish but don’t have enough opportunities to practice speaking?** Join us for a fun and engaging event with different activities designed to help you practice in a relaxed, casual way. This is not a class but a social gathering where you can have real conversations in Spanish. Meet new people, make friends, and improve your language skills in a friendly and supportive environment. All levels are welcome! **P.S.** This event is only to practice Spanish, it is not a language exchange.

🎃 HALLOWEEN NIGHT: NIB Goes to Sonora 👻🍻 October 31st – Poblenou

🎃 HALLOWEEN NIGHT: NIB Goes to Sonora 👻🍻 October 31st – Poblenou

Sat, Oct 31, 5:43 PM
From New in Barcelona – Meet People, Social Events & Expats
4.6

**Saturday\, October 31st \| 6:43 PM → 2:57 AM \| Sonora Sports Tavern\, Poblenou** Congratulations. 🎉 You survived another year in Barcelona. The rent. The bureaucracy. The tourists stopping suddenly in the middle of the pavement. The people who say **“we should definitely meet sometime!”** and are never seen again. After all that, **ghosts are honestly not that scary.** 😂👻 So this Halloween, **New in Barcelona is invading Sonora Sports Tavern** for their big Halloween Party — and the plan is beautifully simple: **We go together. We meet people. We drink. We laugh. We dance. We make new friends. And we collectively make decisions that seemed completely reasonable at 11 PM.** 💀🍻 ### 🧟 BUT I DON'T KNOW ANYONE... PERFECT. That is basically our model. 😂 You **do NOT need to bring friends**. Come alone. Seriously. Half the people at our events arrive knowing nobody. Then somehow, three hours later, they're taking group photos with 14 strangers and discussing a weekend trip together like they've known each other since kindergarten. **Socializing is weird. We just accelerate the process.** 🤝😂 ### 🎃 COSTUME? Highly recommended. This is your annual opportunity to dress completely ridiculously and, instead of people judging you, have them say: **“OMG I LOVE IT!** Take advantage of this rare loophole in society. 😂 Vampire? 🧛 Zombie? 🧟 Witch? 🧙 Sexy avocado? 🥑 We don't judge. Okay, maybe the avocado a little. And if you don't want to wear a costume, **come anyway**. Your terrifying everyday personality will be accepted. ❤️ ### 🎟️ IMPORTANT: THIS ONE REQUIRES A TICKET Plot twist. 💀 Unlike our usual free New in Barcelona events, **this party is organized by Sonora and entrance requires a ticket.** 🎟️ **Entrance: €15** *(plus booking fee)* 🍹 Includes **1 mixed drink/cubata OR 2 beers** **VERY IMPORTANT:** clicking **“Attend” on Meetup does NOT magically teleport a ticket into your pocket.** Meetup RSVP = **“I'm coming with you guys!”** Ticket = **“Security actually lets me inside.”** You probably want both. 😂 ### 📍 THE IMPORTANT STUFF FOR PEOPLE WHO SKIPPED EVERYTHING ABOVE 📅 **SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31ST, 2026** ⏰ **6:30 PM → 3:00 AM** 📍 **Sonora Sports Tavern** **Carrer de Pamplona 96, Poblenou, Barcelona** 🎟️ **€15 + booking fee** 🍺 **Includes 1 mixed drink/cubata OR 2 beers** ### 👻 STILL THINKING ABOUT IT? Of course you are. Human beings apparently need to open an event **seven times** before deciding whether they want to go. 😂 But consider your two possible Halloween timelines: **TIMELINE A:** 🎃 You get your ticket. You come. You meet a ridiculous amount of people. You laugh. You dance. You make new friends. Someone dressed as Dracula somehow ends up in your Instagram stories. **Excellent decisions were made.** **TIMELINE B:** 🛋️ You don't get a ticket. Saturday night arrives. You open Instagram. You see everyone out celebrating Halloween. You whisper: *"Hmm... maybe I should have gone."* Netflix asks: **“Are you still watching?”** Yes, Netflix. **Yes, I am.** 💀😂 Don't be Timeline B. ### 🖤 NEW IN BARCELONA — HALLOWEEN EDITION Whether you've lived in Barcelona for **10 years, 10 months or approximately 10 minutes**, come meet people from our community and celebrate Halloween with us. **Come alone. Come with friends. Come dressed as something ridiculous.** Just come ready to socialize. Because the scariest thing this Halloween isn't ghosts… **it's realizing on November 1st that you missed the party.** 👻😂 Join the Whatsapp group of the event! [https://chat.whatsapp.com/JbRCRCj9eTs9XY0HOR4Z3J](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JbRCRCj9eTs9XY0HOR4Z3J) 🎃 **GET YOUR TICKET FOR SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31ST AND JOIN US AT SONORA.** [https://entradium.com/events/halloween-party-sonora-31-10](https://entradium.com/events/halloween-party-sonora-31-10) **See you there, you beautiful socially dysfunctional creatures.** 💀🍻❤️ And yes we will celerbrate TWICE!

From Nomad House Barcelona
4.8

**Friday = Poker Night at Nomad House. ♠️** Every Friday, we'll have **two Texas Hold'em tables** running alongside a relaxed social evening at the bar. Come to play poker, grab a drink, meet some people, practice a language or simply **switch off after the working week**. **New in Barcelona?** You'll find a mix of newcomers, internationals and locals, so the evening is as much about meeting people as it is about the cards. And you absolutely **don't need to play poker** to join. The rest of the space stays open for drinks, conversations and socialising while the games are running. *And here is, of course, the ChatGPT-esque list for those who skipped everything above:* ♠️ Two Texas Hold'em tables 🍻 Bar & drinks 💬 Social & language exchange 🌍 Newcomers, internationals & locals 🎟️ **FREE ENTRY** Entrance is free. If you're joining us, we simply ask that you **grab a drink or two from the bar to help support the venue and keep nights like this free.** **Important:** This is social poker. **No real-money gambling.** Poker is played with chips for entertainment only. Whether you're coming for the cards or simply looking for a relaxed Friday evening after work, we'll see you at Nomad House. \~ Milliardo
