Slow Barcelona

Slow Barcelona has a dual personality that keeps things interesting. The ground floor is a cosy bar with dim lighting and vintage touches, perfect for unwinding over cocktails inspired by famous works of art like the 'Starry Night', a gin-based nod to Van Gogh, or the 'Salvador Sour', a playful twist inspired by Dalí. Upstairs, the vibe amps up with live music and DJ sets spanning a mix of genres, making it a hotspot for a lively night out.

La Xampanyeria is quite a popular bar among travellers and locals, so it is continuously packed. Stand wherever you can find space, and don't be afraid to gently push your way through the crowd to place your order.

CocoVail Beer Hall

CocoVail Beer Hall brings a taste of American beer culture to the centre of Barcelona. It’s a big, warehouse-style space with long communal tables where strangers end up sharing stories over pints. With 24 craft beers on tap, there’s always something new to try. The food sticks to proper comfort classics: burgers, wings, and mac ’n’ cheese done right. Come game night, the lights dim a little, the crowd grows louder, and the place turns into a sea of clinking glasses and football chants.

L'Ovella Negra (Ramblas)
