FOOD: We went for the food, but it may have been better experienced as a pub. 9 unique tapas -- we tried 8, and loved them all! SERVICE: very friendly and social :) The bartender/waiter is from the UK, so no Spanish required. COST: Free tapa comes with each drink, but can purchase for $1.4(?) each, or half portion, or full portion ($7?) -- do not recall exact pricing, but our meal for 2, including 5 drinks came to $16 euros, so no complaints. OVERALL: Away from the main parts of town, and is very small inside, but the food is amazing, so worth a visit! Highly recommended. read more

Walked across town to come here. Yelp said they're open 830 PM - 1 AM all week, but to my great disappointment the restaurant was closed when I arrived at 10:30 PM. I wish they would update their hours and report the correct open/closing times. This was my only night in Granada, so I guess I will never find out when this restaurant is actually open and whether their food is good. They should update their hours - very disappointing! read more

What an amazing find! African inspired Tapas in Granada by an Angolan/Portuguese and British duo who love Spanish food but wanted options! I had 4 tapas including fish, chicken, and pork; and each was more delicious than the next. read more

Perhaps one of the best bars in all of Granada, if you're in Southern Spain, this hole-in-the wall represents a quintessential marriage of libations and unforgettable tapas. Overall Experience (5/5) An amazing value, the tapas were amazing, prepared with care, and offered a variety from fresh salads, to savory curries, to delectable local specialties. Scene (4/5) It seems as if Poë is perhaps more popular with the university / tourist / hostel scene than locals. In fact, the main bartender speaks Portugese first, English second and Spanish a distant third. A great scene overall -- high bar tables, a nice U-shaped bar, but if you're hoping to meet locals here, you're out of luck. As this place is a hole in the wall that's not easy to find, I imagine most tourists are using the Internets to find Poë. As they should, it's standing room only by 10 p.m., and a friendly crowd overall Drinks (4/5) The beer is cold and fresh. Poë has one or two speciality drinks readily available. There appear to be a number of liquors adorning the wall. The drinks are better than average, for sure. But make no mistake. People come to Poë for the tapas that accompany the drinks, and to converse with their friends and other travelers. Food (5/5) Simply brilliant. The tapas menu at Poë boasts eight or nine items, at most. Two or three cold salads, two or three savory protein dishes, and a few other assorted items. Make no mistake, foodies would love this place, and the food is great for families, too. (ask our 11-year old, who kept asking for more!). The portion sizes are just right. A nibble to go along with your beverage, and additional tapas-sized portions for only 1.40eur. The pork skewers featured grilled pineapple that was both succulent and carmelized. The salted cod salad was a classic Spanish dish executed perfectly. Perhaps best of all was a chicken in spicy Thai curry sauce that was warm and luxurious. We abandoned all hopes of hitting more bars, recognizing that the food was as good as it gets. Value (5+/5) Two adults, three kids. Two drinks per for the adults, and a large number of tapas over ~two hours, including many for a growing teenager. Total bill was 18 euros. I would have easily handed over twice that amount without blinking an eye. Overall phenomenal experience! read more

What a wonderful place. I never thought that I would have landed in such a place during my travels through Southern Spain. I had a little more than 24hrs in Granada and had so much food to choose from. I figured that I would that I would try Yelp to see what kind of reviews I would come across. After reading reviews for Poe, I had to try it out because I was all kinds of curious. My partner and I came here for dinner after only eating a small breakfast and spending most the day at Alhambra... So needless to say we were hungry. The owner was charming and really such an amazing guy. We were also surrounded by so many Americans. We had to do a double take at times because we hadn't heard American accents in a couple of days. Each drink comes with a tapa size dish. We each had three drinks and paid for one extra tapa each , and we were so full! And the food... I'm drooling just thinking about what I ate tonight. I ate all the chicken dishes (the coconut-which my partner got, the Thai spicy chicken, and the chicken liver) all so amazing! As much as I loved how tasty the chicken liver was, I loved the spicy Thai... enough to have ordered it three times. Please go there: eat, drink, and have fun. You're welcome. read more

The tapas for the drink culture is great here. The owner speaks great English and very nice. All the tapas are great good portion size. Come here for a great Granada atmosphere read more

Great place for drinks and even better for tapas. Not exactly Spanish food, but the dishes are amazing nonetheless. Special shout-out to the chicken livers because they're incredible! To top it off, Matthew (?) and Anna seem like they really care about everyone, regulars (which there are a ton of) and tourists alike. All in all, a fantastic experience. read more

Excellent tapas and a bit of variety with the beer selection. Each drink gets you a small dish of food, most wasn't traditionally Spanish, but was delicious. The pork and pineapple, Piri Piri pork dish, and pork with black beans were all well cooked and flavorful. May favorite pork dish was the black beans. The Thai chicken was terrific, the spicy chicken livers were packed with cilantro and we're quiet good. These were some of the few dishes were a rein Spain that had any heat to them. The chickpea salad was a simple well made dish. German beer was as good as I would expect. We saw a bunch of locals drinking house red wine with lemon soda mixed in. We tried that, and it wasn't bad at all. The bar owner was very friendly. He chatted us up a bit before it became too busy. It took us a few tries to get into this bar, as it gets jammed very quickly. If you want a seat, I'd recommend getting there just as it opens. read more

EL MEJOR!!!!!! Cuando estaba estudiando en Granada, esto era mi favorito!! This place is a MUST GO in Granada. Great drinks, great tapas. This was my top spot when I was studying abroad - the owner and his wife are from England and told me the story of how they fell in love with Granada, out of all cities in Spain. If only I had the capability to move back... sigh. read more

Awesome little place with a very friendly English couple who runs the place. Make sure you try the chicken liver, even if you don't like liver, it's fantastic. read more

What a great little find this place was. We had six drinks and six free tapas, all for €14 Be sure to try the chickpea salad, chicken livers, and Italian sautéed vegetable tapis, they were all outstanding. Place was very busy, close quarters and seating, but really fun. We are a group of three guys, so we couldn't stay for long, lots more to try. But we will be back to this one on this trip for sure read more

The cheapest and best meal we had in Granada!! Located on a relatively quieter street, the bar is tiny and yet cozy. My husband and I were the only two people at the place beside a woman from Washington DC. The concept was pretty simple, order a drink and get free tapas. In this case, however, the owner gives you the food menu and you order anything you want from it with your drink. We did not come across this concept anywhere else. Typically we got free tapas of very small pre-selected Jamon or mixed nuts at other bars. For the full detailed review check out our blog http://travelstellar.com/review/bar-poe-granada/ read more

The owner is an awesome Brit who knows how to serve great tapas and drinks. This is a go-to spot for anyone looking for something a bit out of the ordinary but still super delicious. read more

Loved this place!! Tapas were perfect. Full of flavour, the right size and good variety. The owner (Brit) is super nice. Will be back!!

Friendly and warm atmosphere. Outstanding tapas, best we had in Granada. Spicy Thai chicken and chickpea tapas were excellent. Brazilian black beans and as well. My fav was the spicy chicken livers. Owed by a Brit who made all feel welcome. read more

One of my favorite tapas bars in Granada. Everything on the menu is delicious. Pork skewer, cod, and coconut polenta chicken are my favorites. Only drawback- attracts english speakers and will not give you the most authentic spanish experience. read more

Great establishment, Matt (owner/bartender) not a native to Granada but runs this small but extremely popular bar. Very reasonable prices and as in Spanish custom the tapas come with you drinks. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the city of Granada read more

Poë - Pork skewer & curry chicken - Pubs Near Me - Granada, GR

Oh, how I wish we had discovered this place before 10:30 pm on our last night in Spain! We followed the good reviews and Lonely Planet recommendation to this wonderful bar, owned by a friendly and funny British fella and his amazing Angolan wife, serving up some of the most glorious and unique tapas we've ever had. If you're a bit sick of ham, cheese, bread, and olives, you simply must come here. The spicy piri-piri pork stew is a revelation. You can choose which dish you want with each drink order, but we had the pork stew like 3 times because it was so fab. And truly spicy! A casual, international crowd congregates here and it's no wonder why. read more

This review is long overdue! Poe's is the Best hidden place in Granada. After a long day of sight-seeing and traveling to Granada from Barcelona, we were starving and looking for some comfort food- food that is good for the soul. We stumbled into this tiny little bar that was not crowded and had a very hospitable and friendly gentleman behind the bar. The menu had about 9 items that were served in Granada fashion (complimentary with a drink) and we were blown away! The food is Delish! Every single thing on the menu was amazing and come to find out, the gentleman behind the bar is the owner and his wife cooks the food. Within an hour of us being there, the Poe was packed with people and such a lively atmosphere. We were in Granada for 4 days and went there twice. I would highly recommend! read more

Came here while studying abroad because we heard there were great drink deals and the tapas were good. However though the bar is cozy and which nice cushioned arm chairs by the window the bartender/ owner was pretty rude to us which some people find funny but we thought was pretty off putting read more

Great tapas bar in central Granada, slightly off the beaten track and popular with students, local twenty-somethings and English-speaking ex-pats. It's run by Matt (English) and Ana (Angolan) - their respective backgrounds give this place a unique style, combining the best of an English pub and an eclectic international menu. They have a good choice of beers and the tapas (free with each drink, as is customary in this part of Spain) are all great. The Portuguese cod tapa was exceptional, and the Brazilian feijoada compared well to ones I've had in Brazil. Closed on Mondays. read more

Excellent choice although off the beaten path. Maybe 10 items of which we tried 6, and all were very tasty. Spicy 'Piri-Piri' Pork Stew was my favorite, followed by Chicken in Spicy Thai Sauce and Saltcod. Get there early as it fills up fast. read more

A must in Granada! A husband and wife own this hidden gem and run the entire thing. Matt does the bar tending and his wife does all the cooking. Very inexpensive drinks and with each drink you get to choose from one of about ten homemade tapas...each is amazing and unlike any other tapas you'll find in spain. You can have several drinks and leave entirely full on the tapas for appx $15 usd. Great deal, authentic experience! read more

Sadly, I never got to eat or drink at Poe's because they do not accept credit cards. It's hard to understand how an establishment with such raving reviews and a plethora of business can't invest in a square and take Visa & Mastercard payments. I get it that Amex's fees are super high but it's 2015. Let's stop nickel and diming and invest in a critical piece of the business. They seem to operating just fine without one so it works for them but as a solo traveler walking alone late at night, I tend not to bring more than 5-10 euros on me which is not enough for 2 drinks at Poe. Maybe the next time I travel to Granada, I'll be able to enjoy their establishment. read more

On our last night here in Granada we went to Poe for a quick bite that ended to be a 2 hour dinner. Very interesting concept, order a drink and you can order tapas for free. We tasted most of what's on the menu and then ordered a "racion" of our favorite tasting tapas. The owner was very friendly and suggested his favorite dish which we loved. What a splendid evening, great drinks and food! read more

Delicious free tapas with every drink. Unique global spin on tapas. Get their early because the place gets busy quick. Sit at the bar and you won't have to fight the crowd to order. There are only a handful of menu items so I won't go into detail because you should try them all. Owners are the bartender and chef. Great people and great hosts! read more

Poë - Pubs Near Me - Granada, GR

My favorite tapas bar! Matthew and his wife are like family and made my study abroad experience feel more like home. Also the Italian cook is so sweet and I miss these 3 like crazy, just as much as I miss the food! The liver is to die for read more

Fantastic bar with the best tapas I've had in Spain. Most tapas restaurants in Granada will give you food when you order a drink, but you don't get to choose what you get. One bar gave me a plate of potato chips with a slice of anchovy filet on top, topped with chimichurri sauce. But Poë has a list of 9 tapas to choose from and you can pick whichever you want. The interesting thing is that there were no traditional tapas on the menu. No croquetas, empanadas, paella, gambas, or patatas. Everything seemed to have an African/ Caribbean influence, and everything was done excellently. Additional tapas are only 1.50€, so you can eat your fill without breaking the bank. A friend and I had 3 drinks and 4 tapas each, and the tab was only 25€. That's a great deal, no matter how you look at it, and the gin and tonics that were poured were very heavy on the gin. I didn't hear any Spanish spoken here; it seemed to be all tourists, the vast majority spoke English. Get there promptly at 8P (or a few minutes early) so you can grab a seat at the bar. Order a beer, wine, cocktail, or whatever you want, and enjoy the food. I can't recommend Poë highly enough for people who enjoy good tapas. read more

Delicious tapas, lively atmosphere. A great stop on your tapas tour of Granada. Variety of drinks. Food available as tapas or racions (large plates). read more

Get the tai chicken tapa. Just do it. And drink whatever is on tap and make friends with the international students who also frequent the bar, you won't regret it! read more

The menu is small so we ordered everything, some things twice, and all were good. Cozy little bar with unique but tasty tapas. Owner is great. Worth a visit, just get in early to grab a seat, they go fast on the weekends. read more

Don't believe the hours on here or their website! You will end up disappointed when you find them closed...

Great place with a lovely atmosphere. Suuuuper cheap - you get a tapas with each drink, and they're very tasty. The owner is an English guy who's very nice and welcoming. read more

The bar owner, Matt, was really nice and talkative! This cozy place is sure to tickle your taste buds. It serves international inspired dishes and they are really really tasty. Come here if you're looking for a non Spanish meal and something on the spicy side. I dragged my hubby here twice cause I loved the piri-piri so much (the Thai curry came in second place)! Also nice place to meet some English speaking people. read more

I really liked this place. It is run by the owner (who tends bar) and his wife (who cooks). Choose your tapas with each drink, some are very untraditional but all are excellent. read more

After reading all the reviews my husband and I had to visit this place. The best bar in Granada. Loved the atmosphere and the food. Tapas were absolutely delicious with the spice so uniquely blended with the food. The owner is such a lovely man. Sad that we didn't have the opportunity to meet his wife. read more

Hands down this was my favorite place to frequent. The tapas are all delicious and the portion for what you get is good. I recommend going with the intention to eat a whole meal because you'll want to try them all! read more

This place, managed by a husband and wife team, is probably the single best tapas bar I have ever been to. Period. The thai chicken tapa is absolutely sublime and you need to try it to believe it. The Poes who own the place are incredibly amiable and interesting people. Just don't expect super fancy cocktails. read more

This was probably the coolest place we went while in Granada. The owner is British and his wife is from Brazil. Everywhere in Granada serves you food with your drinks but this was the only place we went to that let you choose the food. A must go to in my opinion. read more

Excellent bartender. The food is filling and a good add-on but it's really just a bonus. Good pork stew with black beans, good chickpea salad, but the foods were mostly decorated in sauces, although tasty. We had a great time and so did our baby. read more
