Worth it?
Old-school Barcelona in one room: house sparkling wine in coupes, preserved seafood and blue tiles. It suits a quick drink and a few bites, standing if needed, since there are no reservations and queues are normal. One creator's tip is to arrive around opening time, and the same post notes the house wine is just €2.90. Check the calendar: it is closed Mondays and all of August.
Before you go
- Arrive around opening time to avoid the queue.
- Order the house sparkling wine (€2.90 in one post) and Cantabrian anchovies.
- Do not plan a Monday or August visit; it is closed then.
- Bar del Pla is on the same street if you want a fuller meal after.
Highlights
- Signature house sparkling wine served in glass coupes
- High-quality Cantabrian anchovies and preserved seafood
- Traditional decor with blue ceramic tiles and marble tables
- No reservations accepted; expect queues and standing room
- Closed on Mondays and throughout the month of August
