The cocktails are incredibly creative, beautifully presented, and unlike anything you'll find at a typical bar. Every drink feels thoughtfully crafted, with interesting flavor combinations and a fun storytelling element behind many of them. The atmosphere is intimate, stylish, and perfect for a date night or special evening out. The staff were knowledgeable, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. While it's definitely more of a premium experience price-wise, the quality, creativity, and overall vibe make it absolutely worth it. One of the most memorable bars I visited in Barcelona.

A portmanteau of birria (beer) and Abrevadero (a historic restaurant in the area, which used to have some breweries. Located right off the Paral-lel in Poble Sec, it is easy to get to and a great option if you are hungry in the area of Mountjuic. They have seating inside, but outside is where the fun is as you watch the slow neighborhood go by. Staff is friendly, and they have menus in several languages, with each dish including a beer pairing suggestion. Both times I had a highly satisfying hummus platter and patatas bravas. Basic but tasty, I liked that there were enough bread sticks and carrots to actually eat all the hummus! Great textures and flavors. The potatoes were well cooked with slightly piquant sauce and aioli that thankfully wasn't glooping up the whole dish like some places do. Very filling meal. My man had a hamburger, which was quite large and filling. He didn't rave about it, but like a good spaniard he ate the whole thing, heh. Definitely recommend trying out Abirradero for a snack, drink and sit if you are in the area.

I have been at La República twice - once in 2013 and again today. If you are wondering if you…read moreshould go here? It's a definite YES! The restaurant is located in a quiet street close to Port Vell just off Passeig de Colom and easy to miss. Once you enter you are greeted by Latin music and a friendly waitress (which we have not encountered often unless it's the waiters trying to lure you into a restaurant on la rambla). The location is really nice and different with a colander or mini-BBQ functioning as lamp shades. Everything is nice and clean. They offer a variety of original Argentinian food like milanesas or empanadas. We had three different milanesas (La mano de Dios, La favorita de Leo and La Bombamera) which were all really good. We had some questions about the food beforehand and the waitress was really friendly and courteous and answered all of our questions. As drinks you can get a variety of international and Argentinian beers and cocktails. The mojitos get served in preserving jars which is pretty epic. If you come later at night the restaurant turns into a restoclub which is frequented by Argentinians. This means it should be pretty authentic (in my eyes) ;) Positive: + great food + good and very stylish mojitos + attentive and very friendly waitress + good music Negative: + nothing If you ask nicely you might even get the wifi password ;)
