Hmm, how to write up this one? On paper it's an average bar but I've really enjoyed my sourjourns here! I guess it's because this bar makes no claims to being anything else than what it is! That's to say it's a lively, slighty scummy, yet appealing bar in the Raval area. Music is loud and upbeat enough to add a little 'pep' to your night and there's plenty of room to sit at the - quite frankly forgettable yet functional tables and chairs. Space itself is a-plenty including an adequately sized bar with stools area. Not a bar I can recommend for any particular reason except that I've always enjoyed coming here and never fail to feel like I'm in a typical yet above average bar in the more gentrified part of La Raval!

If you are wandering aimlessly (i.e. drunkenly!) through the lively and sparsely lit streets of the Raval and need somewhere to park your weary posterior, this place should please your desire to sit in comfort and quaff a reasonably priced beverage. Although this bar looks slightly menacing from the outside (in keeping with the street folk that inhabit this area), it's in fact rather cosy inside, pleasant and spacious. The genius of this bar is that the actual bar area is not overly big and this leaves a huge amount of space for the plethora of (possibly self-copulating) sofas that will give the lesser explored regions of your body a well-deserved rest. The music here is very good - in line with the ambience of 'slightly upmarket but not overly pretentious' and thus it is a pretty laid-back bar perfect for tanking up in before you go off disco dancing somewhere more upbeat! I'll see you there lurking in the depths of the cushions!

A lovely bar in this rather popular street in the up-and-coming Raval neighbourhood. Placed inside a beautiful old building, you won't have to jostle too much for space in here. At first you are graced by a large, stool-lined bar and as you wander further in there are an assortment of not overly comfortable but functional tables and chairs (think Pub not cocktail bar!) Like most 'cool' bars in Barcelona, an array of cocktails are served and the bar sports the usual assortment of beers, wines and spirits. Decor here is pretty down-to-earth (in a good way) and the music pleasing if you fancy checking out some latin vibes. Prices are normal for BCN and added to this is an extensive food menu. Overall you won't go wrong in here, whether stopping in for a 'refuel' on your travels or camping down for a long evening session!
