Nestled in the heart of El Born, Space Cowboy redefines nightlife in Barcelona. This bar is more than just a place to grab a drink—it’s a portal to a world where the past and future collide in perfect harmony. Inspired by retro-futurism, Space Cowboy combines a vibrant atmosphere with a design that evokes nostalgia for the future as imagined by past generations.
What Is Retro-Futurism?
Retro-futurism is an aesthetic movement that blends futuristic visions of the past with vintage elements. Think of classic movies like Blade Runner or the sleek space suits of the 1960s. This aesthetic isn’t just visual—it’s an immersive experience that invites us to imagine a future that could have been.
At Space Cowboy, this concept comes to life through carefully curated decor, hypnotic neon lighting, and a cocktail menu that feels like it’s been crafted in an interstellar bar.
The Retro-Futuristic Vibe at Space Cowboy
From the moment you step inside, time seems to bend. Here, the vintage and futuristic coexist seamlessly:
Thematic decor: Furniture inspired by the 70s, combined with modern technological touches.
Futuristic lighting: Neon lights and galactic hues set the tone for an immersive experience.
Evocative music: A mix of synth beats and 80s-inspired rhythms transports you to a cosmic dance floor.
Every corner of Space Cowboy is designed to take you to an alternate universe, making it the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy an unforgettable night.
