Art172


C/Torrent de L'Olla, 172 : M Fontana L3
**** : €€€
This new bar in my local neighbourhood is unique, even for Barcelona. When you first walk in, it feels a little like you're invading someone's living room, well perhaps someone very ecentric! The decor in the front is very minimalist and unusual, well worth a gander. This contrasts sharply to the beautiful Andalucian style, larger and more traditional room, which often hosts Live music! I went there to check out some Norwegian Gypsy Jazz (Yes, I'm serious) and it was nothing short of fantastic! This is a bar for those who like to venture into the more surreal facets of life and if my description of the decor hasn't tempted you, drinks here are extremely cheap (for BCN) so give this place a look one weekend and prepare to be impressed!
