Teatreneu


C/Terol, 26-28 : M Fontana L3
*** : €€€€
Finally! A bar with space and high ceilings in Gracia! Don't get me wrong, I love this neighbourhood, but from time to time even I can get a little frustrated with the cramp and overcrowded conditions in most of the bars in this area. Teatreneu however offers a solution to that niggle of mine in that it sports two huge rooms and a small outside terrace. Other than that I must admit that although it's a nice bar it's not terribly exciting. The music is not particularly cool, but if you're looking for somewhere to hang out in a crowd or to sit at a comfortable bar then this just could be your place. It's also good for you non-smokers out there, as smoking is restricted to the upper floor so you can avoid all those dangerous fumes that we addicts habitually exhale into the atmosphere. Lighting is pleasantly ambient and all and all you'll find a mixed crowd here. Pleasantly enough you won't find lobster faced beer swilling, alpha-male inebriated tourists!
