    Nice little place with a great selection of drinks. Very nice music, and it's not so loud that you can't chat with people. Fairly large inside, with two pool tables and plenty of places to sit down. Employees are very friendly, and I will definitely return on my next trip to Barcelona.

    Legitimately the best bar in Barcelona, it's not pretentious, they're not too expensive and it's a surprisingly fun time, even with sports happening, also the best white Russian I've had since Nash in Bournemouth (chaplins, bournemoith, UK)

    Cool place to drink a beer and enjoy live music. Cash only so be careful, but prices are really reasonable.

    Lovely quirky bar, 2 pool tables, dart board, friendly staff and lovely food. A little gem hidden down a side street but well worth searching for. Definitely going again.

    Nice if you want cheap beer, play a game of pool and hang out in larger groups (ps. If you are visiting this place before going out to a club, or if you just want to spice things up, ask the bartender for a shot of "thunderbitch" it's only 2 euros, and it will get you going)

    Two pool tables. And a large area for live music. It's in the correct position on Google maps but no real signs and doesn't open to 8pm. If it was closed you could walk past it without noticing it. There is a tiny sticker on a wooden door with a fish symbol, that's the only indication it bar arena.

    A friendly local bar with cool music, in an old building with exposed stone and understated decor - tucked in Borne but without the tourist prices. Staff is really nice, and they put on live music open mics and shows.

    Nice, chill bar tucked away in the corner. You can either sit at the bar and chill or occupy one of the bigger tables inside if you with a group. There's a pool table there and they have live music on some days! All in all, good, decent place to hang out in the evening!
