The man and women working at the bar were by far the nicest people I came across at any bar or restaurant in Barcelona. The drinks were excellent. I loved the Mojito de Coco (coconut mojito). The drinks were made with care. They are a good size too. The food was great too! The menu has lots of variety from tapas to Latin food. I was only in for a snack, but wished I would've eaten dinner here. Get an arepa! There are a few different ones to choose from. I chose the chicken. The chicken was juicy and had a lot of flavor. The arepa itself was soft and fluffy. I will stop by again for sure on my next visit to Barcelona!

After spending the day roaming Barcelona we were hungry and ready for some tapas and cerveza. I saw…read morethis place got great reviews so we gave it a shot. The menu is mostly tapas. We tried the patatas bravas, tortilla española, ceviche a few cervezas. For starters, the environment is very nice. It has a modern feel and nice music playing. Service was good. On the down side, the food was lacking. The potatoes were just served with ketchup and mayo on the side - basically overpriced French fries. Tortilla was plain, not much flavor. The ceviche was tasty, but it was 10€ for literally 3 bites For what we spent, we left still hungry, which should not have happened. Wouldn't come here again.

Great prices and service. Wonderful hole in the wall, one of a kind place. Would gladly go again!read more

This extraordinary counter alley bar has been open since around 1912 and is a Barcelona tradition…read more The drink from wince its name comes from is an extremely powerful unique shot of fermented raisons that really pack a punch. No, I mean really! We came here several times and it wasn't open. I think it closes at 8PM, but don't quote me on that. The bar tender was really friendly. The alleyway traffic was interesting to say the least. The disco ball and loud music spill over into the alley and people just stand at the bar or near it. They serve beer and other mixed drinks as well as Cazalla and you get little tapa servings of olives and chips and other things for free while you party and your back pain gets numbed out by natural raison goodness. Come enjoy and participate in this unique Barcelona tradition. Don't forget to check out the poster advertising (the greatest bull fighter of all time) Manuel Laureano Rodríguez Sánchez's last fight where died from being gored to death by Miura bull Islero on the fifth day of completion that adorns the small wall behind the counter by the t-shirt stand.

My interest was peaked when I spotted a sign for a copa de vino with tapa del dia for only 2.90 euro! The dish of the day turned out to be mini tuna empanadas which were tasty but nothing special and came with a few green olives on the side. The padrons (peppers) however were fantastic! Grilled salty little bursts of flavour, perfect to eat with fingers. Lovely atmosphere, small intimate tables and I was thoroughly enjoying my window seat for optimum people watching as I enjoyed my nibble. Service a touch slow as there was only one girl working- but she was incredibly friendly despite being super busy!

They did take some time to put in the order but service was really quick and food was absolutely delicious! Totally recommend getting that half roasted chicken! Chicken paella was really lovely. It was in a shallow dish with not so much portion size because it was just a little bit of rice and some pieces of chicken in there. Quite a large amount of snap peas though so a good way to get some veggies in! Grilled vegetable side was quite nice. Good charr on the vegetables and they actually tasted nice as well. Got the crispy chicken strips as an appetizer to get some protein in. Chicken was really flavorful and the perfect amount of crispiness, and it didn't feel too unhealthy deep fried or anything. Came with a honey mustard sauce that was beautiful! We actually kept some of that sauce to have with the other food. Barbecue pork ribs were a nice one as well! I'm not usually a fan of pulled ribs because they are usually quite fatty but this one had a good amount of meat as well. Quite soft and tender and actually came off the bone very easily. Biggest highlight of the meal was that Half Roasted Chicken! Such a beautiful item! Chicken with cooked so soft and so perfect. It actually just fell off the bone! I tried to pierce it with a fork and give it to my brother and it literally fell off the bone! Quite a big portion size and very reasonably priced as well. Total value for money here! It did take some time to come out though because they actually roast the chicken after you put in the order. Not beforehand. Overall really recommend this place and I wouldn't mind going again.

Again, it charges higher prices for those seated outdoors rather than indoors. the food is delicious, nothing mindblowingly creative, groundbreaking or new. no, not at all. but delicious, hits the spot and affordable tapas. I tried their lemon beer.... its good.... but weird imo (im from new york, we dont have lemon beer and tasting it in Barcelona was my first time) Does this place stand out from others? Yes, but not by football (or soccer?) feilds. delicious, reliable and easy going. thats what i enjoy about this establishment! oh wait! one more thing!!!! My waitress spoke english! (the bar counter dude didnt though)

Twice overcharged, check your bill!…read more The food is good but twice in two days they tried to overcharge me. The nature of the overcharge clearly meant it was intentional. When I challenged the waiters their excuses were totally flawed.

Don't miss the Salmon with Greek yogurt tapas; they were so good that I didn't have a chance to take a photo before they disappeared. Tip: plan to go early, there's a line to get in at around 10pm! We got there at 7:30 with a reservation and it worked out great.

But if, as an individual customer of this place, your meal is half as good as it was for our large special group, I would make all efforts to come here. The tapas were outstanding.

Nothing they brought us during the evening was bad.

I felt that it's more comfortable here compared to other bars which you need to cramp around on a Friday night. We got the outside seating and it was amazing! We 3 shared a bottle of wine for around 15 euros and also a plate of nachos served with truffles and cheese sauce (6 euros). They were really generous with the nachos and we enjoyed it. We came after dinner so we didn't get to order much but we've overlooked some dishes on the other table it looks good. The staff was really attentive and gives us good recommendations. They speak English too!

Their Menu is always improving and the chef is innovating every time and then. Ask to the waiter to recommend you something because depending on what they bought that day they might have an outstanding tuna dish not listed on the menu. GinTonics and imported beers are the best way to go if you are looking for a drink. Their bartenders are well trained, I can tell. I also know they offer vermouth on Sunday mornings and it has quite a success, but I've never tried. Give it a try, you'd thank me later ;)

I ordered the smash burger, 2 of their sangrias, and my husband who joined me later, had a couple of local beers. The atmosphere was chill and we happened to meet another couple our age from the UK. We ended up chitchatting with them while there and had a wonderful time. It can get warm in the summer so they had fans blowing air on the guests along with umbrellas providing shade. We sat at the bar as seating was limited. The infinity pool is quite small with a few lounge chairs scattered about. It's a great spot to relax in the Spanish sun.
