I needed to…read morespace out all my paellas and octopuses with some burgers and ramen in between - so hello Bernie's. Bernie's is one of the better options located near the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona. But it really is only one of the better ones because a lot of other "American" establishments are bad. You really make due with what you have. Their milkshakes are good. Nice and creamy but not too heavy. I had the chocolate milkshake and was a fan. My GF had their strawberry cheesecake milkshake and it was good, but tasted more like just strawberry than strawberry cheesecake. T-bone steak tasted similar to a decent american diner and it hit the spot. Their ribs are absolutely horrible though. They were overcooked, dry, bland, and slathered in a bad BBQ sauce. Do come if you miss home, but don't come expecting an amazing meal.

I ordered a Classic burger (cooked medium), fries, patatas bravas, a banana milkshake, a vanilla…read moremilkshake, and a banana split ice cream. All take out. - The burger was raw. We couldn't eat it. - The fries were as bland as fries can be. No seasoning, and like rubber. - The patatas bravas were literally just plain steak fries. Also no seasoning but most importantly no bravas sauce or aioli. - The banana milkshake was mostly milk. Vanilla wasn't bad. - Banana split was pretty good, but it's hard to mess up scoops of ice cream and toppings. The woman who took my order wasn't rude by any means, but she was cold and almost seemed bothered to be dealing with an American even though I spoke mostly in Spanish. If you're really desperate for American food in Barcelona, I guess you can find worse, but if you have time, I'd go elsewhere. For what it's worth, the atmosphere was cool. Good music and aesthetic. Place was clean.

After discovering that our first three choices were all shuttered, we ended up at La Pepita by default. Thankfully, it turned out to be a great find. We stopped in late in the afternoon, when the pace was relaxed but the energy still lively. The space had a fun, casual vibe -- the kind of place that feels effortlessly cool without trying too hard. The service was friendly and quick, and the staff seemed to genuinely enjoy what they do. We ordered a few snacks and drinks, all of which hit the spot. Everything was flavorful, nicely presented, and perfect for sharing. Even though it wasn't quite the dinner rush, there was a steady flow of people, which tells me it's a popular spot year-round, not just a backup when others are closed. Overall, La Pepita was a happy surprise on an August afternoon -- great atmosphere, good food and drinks, and the kind of easygoing charm that makes you want to linger a little longer. Would absolutely go back. 4.5 Stars

This was our first time visiting Barcelona and this restaurant with our friends for dinner. We passed by and liked the posted menu in English. The place was packed with patrons for dinner, therefore we assumed this was a good local place for us to stop for dinner. Despite that the place was packed with customers we scored a table for four in the rear of the restaurant. I started with and enjoyed my portal (blanco Joven), which is a dry garnacha blanca 90% sauvignon Blanc and Viognier for 4 Euros. I enjoyed my patatas pulled pork bravas potatoes with carnitas, poutine sauce and chilli sour cream for 12 Euros. My friend also enjoyed his patatas pulled pork bravas potatoes. We all enjoyed our tapas. I also ended my dinner with a Cerv Jarra cervezas draft beer for 4.90 Euros. My friend also enjoyed the same cervezas draft beer. My total bill for the four of us was 81.30 Euros or USA $94.44 based on the current exchange rate. Our server Contado, who also spoke English, served us very well. After we visited I found one other nearby Alsur Cafes, which may or may not be affiliated with this Alsur Cafe restaurant. We agreed we will return here again. More to come regarding tomorrow's tour of the Sagrada Familia and Park Guell.

ENGLISH I visited Opium Barcelona on Tuesday night (Jan 20,…read more2026) during a business trip with several colleagues. Our group had already spent a significant amount of money at the venue the night before, so this experience was especially disappointing. During the evening, I bought a bottle of water at the upper bar. While briefly speaking with a colleague (around 10 seconds), I placed the bottle on the lower bar counter opposite the cloakroom. A staff member immediately removed it. When I approached her right away and explained that I had just purchased it, she refused to return it or provide a replacement. The bigger issue was not the drink, but the way I was treated. The employee, who gave the name "Georgina" (tall, slim, brown hair), spoke no English at all and reacted in a very dismissive and disrespectful way. Instead of trying to understand the situation, she made a hand gesture telling me to go away. Her tone and behavior were rude and confrontational, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome. For an international club of this reputation, it is surprising that staff in direct contact with guests cannot communicate even basic English or handle a simple situation professionally. The interaction left me with a very negative impression and a clear feeling of being treated without respect or basic courtesy. Because of this experience, I would not feel comfortable returning, and I believe other guests should be aware of how situations like this can be handled here. ESPAÑOL Visité Opium Barcelona el martes por la noche (20 de enero de 2026) durante un viaje de negocios con varios compañeros. Nuestro grupo ya había gastado una cantidad considerable de dinero en el local la noche anterior, por lo que esta experiencia fue especialmente decepcionante. Durante la noche compré una botella de agua en la barra superior. Mientras hablaba brevemente con un colega (unos 10 segundos), dejé la botella sobre la barra inferior, frente al guardarropa. Una empleada la retiró inmediatamente. Cuando me acerqué en ese mismo momento para explicar que acababa de comprarla, se negó a devolvérmela o a ofrecerme otra. El problema principal no fue la bebida, sino la forma en que fui tratada. La empleada, que indicó llamarse "Georgina" (alta, delgada, pelo castaño), no hablaba nada de inglés y reaccionó de forma muy despectiva y poco profesional. En lugar de intentar entender la situación, hizo un gesto con la mano indicándome que me fuera. Su actitud y su tono fueron groseros y confrontativos, lo que me hizo sentir muy incómoda y nada bienvenida. Para un club internacional con esta reputación, sorprende que el personal en contacto directo con los clientes no pueda comunicarse mínimamente en inglés ni gestionar una situación sencilla de manera profesional. La experiencia me dejó una impresión muy negativa y la clara sensación de haber sido tratada sin respeto ni cortesía básica. Después de esta experiencia, no me sentiría cómoda regresando, y creo que otros clientes deberían saber cómo pueden manejarse este tipo de situaciones aquí.
