    Good choice of beers, at very reasonable prices for this area of Barcelona. Friendly customers, even if we were old enough to be their parents! You'll get quite a wide selection of music playing here, not just 'rock' music. Food available from the kitchen at the back, looked tasty.

    Awesome environment and decoration, really good and heavy rock, fair variety of beer brands and drinks. Good service with room for improvements. My favorite one in BCN. Recommended!

    Bar was great and the staff was awesome despite our very limited Spanish. Gave us shots and played songs we wanted to hear. Great experience and would go again :)

    After having gotten a tip from a friend who's a local, but hadn't been in this place for a while, we came by this bar. My boyfriend ate a burger he liked, and that's where this Rock 'N Roll story ends. If being 'rock' means to scander people who have spend money to pay for their wages in the first place, and after those same paying customers already left the place to be clear, again, rudely scander them because they light up a cigarette, then Rock is officially dead. The loud sound of the alarm bells going off when having to digest their taste in music should've made us run faster, but who doesn't need a cigarette after a trauma.

    This was a slice of home for me while staying in Barcelona. I'm used to hanging out in punk dive bars in the states and this checked the box perfectly. The staff was friendly and helped me muddle through my terrible Spanish and made good recommendations for other things I would enjoy im the gothic quarter.

    (Translated by Google) "Rock and Roll will never die" is its motto and its essence. It's very good, to have a drink, mojito or beer, listening to rock or playing the machines of the million of the 80s. The 3 stars, it is for the hamburgers, there are many places that are better and not at that price. If it wasn't for the food, the 5 stars would have it (Original) "Rock and Roll will never die", es su lema y su esencia. Esta muy bien, para tomar una copa, mojito o cerveza, escuchando rock o jugando a las maquinas de millón de los 80s. Las 3 estrellas, es por las hamburguesas, hay muchos sitios que están mejor y no a ese precio. Si no fuera por las comida, el 5 estrellas, lo tendrian

    Amazing ambience and style of the place. The food is great and fresh, and the drinks are good. They employ happy hour at nice rates, and their pricing is moderate. Definitely recommending this bar.

  • 5/5 Robyn H. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a cool bar!! Loved the decor, the drinks were amazing. Would have liked to chat happy hour but still it was a great find

  • 4/5 Robin B. 2 years ago on Google
    Cool bar with delicious cocktails. Bad luck that the last two visits they where out of Bloody Mary's. Also three weeks ago after two cocktails I realized that I paid the full amount in happy hour, asked them and they told us that they don't do happy hour anymore due to covid..

  • 4/5 Andrew F. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely dive bar in Barcelona. Expect rock music beer and burgers. Open late!

  • 5/5 S. B. 4 months ago on Google
    If you want to drink nice cocktails and beer while hearing the best rock music - this bar is for you! Went there at 11 pm on a Sunday and had a lot of fun there. Will be back again on our next trip to Barcelona!

    Didn't eat here, had beers and some cocktails. Really cool set up and good music playing. Also some video games and an electric dart board which was great fun!! Bring you €2 coins though!

  • 3/5 Claire S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice bar, good atmosphere. More cocktail choices than beet. Just don't use the toilet.

  • 1/5 Thanos P. 1 year ago on Google
    I don't give places bad reviews if I don't like them but when it comes to health and safety this is where I draw the line. If you can't keep a basic level of hygiene and if you don't know the basic rules about food handling maybe you shouldn't serve food. Avoid the burgers by all means. Terrible experience.

  • 5/5 Callum P. 1 year ago on Google
    Place is rad. But don't get the Philly cheesesteak. Oh man that was weird, and I felt so queezy after that.

  • 5/5 Tammy C. 1 year ago on Google
    I loved this place, a unique spot for rock and metal lovers. They don’t have a great variety in beers but the ones they have are just fine. Great atmosphere, good music and great food. The Big Misteak was very tasty and really good for 2 people!

  • 4/5 Eva L. 1 year ago on Google
    Had yummy chicken wings. Dark and grungy rock bar, good atmosphere. Tasty burgers and chips too! Bathroom was not very clean, full of flies.

    Absolutely fantastic rock bar with a brilliant happy hour deal on cocktails. Although it looks a bit suspicious from outside the cocktails and atmosphere is top tier and I absolutely recommend.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth S. 1 year ago on Google
    This was such a fun discovery when we were in Barcelona. We played pinball and listened to amazing music. I had the mustard drink and it’s delicious. Excited to return

  • 1/5 Montse I. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It's dirty, the waitress is unpleasant, and she hangs out smoking on the street. Not very pleasant atmosphere, people outside the bar with bad pints. (Original) Es sucio, la camarera es desagradable y se pasa el rato fumando en la calle. Ambiente no muy agradable, gente fuera del bar con malas pintas.

  • 5/5 Moto M. 5 years ago on Google
    Extremely friendly staff, we drink shots with Marto and the Brazilian girl and really had fun! Thanks, guys! Atmosphere is cool, drinks good, prices reasonable. The one and only thing that I didn't like was that music is very low.

  • 3/5 Ana H. 5 years ago on Google
    Good place for burgers and beers. Reasonable prices, the food is ok (could come with more fries), the service is ok (a bit slow sometimes in the bar as the bartender is often alone), and you can also have a competition on eating burgers! Nice decor punk and rock n roll. Has a vegan option! there is also a happy hour for the beers

  • 5/5 kerry w. 4 years ago on Google

    Great place, excellent beers. 5 pinball machines that are great entertainment great drinks and happy hour everyday from 7 till 10 pm. Wonderful place. Next time I will try the burgers that seem pff amazing.

  • 4/5 Joao G. 7 years ago on Google
    From the outside it looks a bit scary place but the all the environment is unique! The best value for money in happy hour, burger, rustic potatoes and beer for 7Euros. The burgers are huge and very tasty, in my opinion the Les Paul is the BEST! It takes a bit to get served but meanwhile you can enjoy the beer with salty popcorn. Just go there and enter... You may come back again and again as me.......
