Amazing server, raised in Mexico and worked for Disney in the USA, fabulously hospitable. We wanted a chill place to enjoy a very light dinner, and The Rooftop was perfect. We had non alcoholic ginger beer (Fever Tree label) and hot tea, hummus with beautiful baby carrots, olives, and a salad of diced cucumbers, tomatoes, and a pinch of fresh mint. When it started to rain the servers quickly belied us move to a table under the canopy. Space heaters were nice. We could see one of the Gaudi buildings from our lovely rooftop venue. After dinner we went to the bottom floor, which was full of folks enjoying themselves, playing pool, visiting. Great place.

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

I had lost my wallet and was moving through the huge crowd on the floor, accidentally bumped into an employee (staff shirt and earpiece) and immediately apologized multiple times in both Spanish and English and explained that I lost my wallet, but he grabbed me by my shirt and screamed at me "I don't care about your wallet!" and shoved me away. I thought he was going to harm me physically with how loud he yelled at me, how tight he was gripping my shirt, and how angry he came off after a simple mistake and profuse apologies. Luckily, the bouncers at the door were helpful. I told them I lost a wallet and they immediately had it and asked basic questions of what it looked like and what was inside. Once I confirmed they gave it back, told me to be safe and to have a great night. I can't give this place more than 2 stars for the physical harassment and blatant disrespect I faced at the hands of an employee. That employee needs better training for how to deal with large crowds, which are super common here (I have been 10+ times). It seems that most of the employees, particularly the bouncers, are here to help, which is amazing. I love it here, but with this experience it's hard to want to come back.

There's few things more annoying in life than Google telling you somewhere is open, only to show up and find out it is not. I get it, that's Google, it's ultimately a 3rd party thing, and stuff can go wrong when that is setup. What I find unacceptable is when a businesses actual homepage is inaccurate. That's your homepage, and you're 100% responsible for making sure it is providing accurate information to your customers. So after finding their open hours, and being lured in by their offer for free futbolin from 17-21 every Friday and Saturday, I showed up at 1722 Saturday, August 22nd only to find their doors closed, and no signs of life at all. Thanks for making me come all the way down for nothing, and wasting a bunch of my time. I won't be back.

The front of the bar faces what is essentially an alley and when the cab driver pointed the way from a main street I was dubious. Fortunately, there's a small sign and a buzzer at the door.
