    Amazing beer all brewed on site, friendly and thoughtful staff. So glad to see a 'small' independent thriving. It was really good to see the place buzzing on a Thursday night in January. The staff kept coming over to check we were happy and comfortable. Maria was a star! Because of the great experience we had we wanted to support further and bought some merch (we love the branding). We also love black Labradors so enjoyed sharing our photos with the staff members. We only had a snack whilst there but the menu looked fab and the food we had was delicious! Looking forward to the day they expand and make it to Wales! 😉 Until that day though we hope to make it back to Barcelona again sometime soon!

    Great place! Sadly I couldn't drink the moment I was there but they had a lovely alcohol free beer option. Had some food, read a book and hung out with Lola (the mentioned Black Lab) for a while.

    Tried a couple of places that serve local beer in Barcelona and this was definitely the best. I recommend trying different beers in small "flights". The service is great, beer is cold and tasty and food is affordable and pairs well with the drinks. The location is superb and that of course affects the prices. Nevertheless, best value for the money if you want to try local beers in Barcelona.

    Good beer, chill environment, and knowledgeable staff. They had very smooth red wine for my wife. If I lived in Barcelona I would be here every week. Keep doing what y’all doing 🤙

    Absolutely incredible! Ordered a flight and the BlackLab nachos. It was perfect! Great beer ~ definitely something for everyone. And the nachos were delicious! A+ experience!

    Chill and unpretentious brewery in between a lot of touristy places. Perfect spot to visit for a quick bite and a home brewed beer. Their menu offers vegetarian options (Beyond Burger and vegetarian Ramen for example) as well as the usual selection of burgers.

    Amazing place, really loved it. The staff is super friendly. I was gifted a voucher for a beer tasting and the experience overexceeded my expectations. They brew their beer there and the place itself is very nice and interesting. Really recommend it.

    The beer has that small batch flavor you can't get from larger breweries and the food was great. We decided to have nachos everywhere in the city, from alley ways to larger restaurants, and Black lab made the top 3. You'll have a great time here

    Small nice brewery with different craft beers. Nice ambiance and easy to find. I had an outdoor seat. The service was friendly and the beer was tasty. I can recommend it. Even the brewer with the dog was spotted :-)

    Let's start with the good! The Beers, they are excellent. The food is also really great. Burgers and Craft Beer are a great combination. On to the bad. The service. It was obvious from the start that our waitress was in a terrible mood. But it almost felt like it was personal and that she hated us just for being there. And how dare we even order food and drinks, making us almost feel guilty for doing so. There were another of couple beers we would've loved to try but because we felt so unwelcome we left pretty quickly once we had finished our food.

    Based on what we order we were really happy with the michelada and the stout. We only stopped here to have a little sit down so the drinks were great. We didn’t find anything on the menu that grabbed our attention but that’s because we were looking for something different to eat. We saw the burgers served to another table and overheard that they were really pleased with it so I’m sure the food must be good. I strongly recommend the michelada. I had another one somewhere else (the Mexican place) but the one I got here was much better :) I love micheladas and I am always extremely happy when I find a place that does them right so well done guys.

    Very very good craft beers with awesome tasty foods and friendly staff! Should be my haunt in Barcelona :) Visited again in 2018 and still the best one! :-) And visited again in 2023 and still loving it! :-) Missing a but the bbq ribs, but the Ramen was also perfect.

    Went in for a quick drink as we have a black lab of our own and couldn’t resist! The staff were lovely and the setting is great. I’m not a beer drinker but I enjoyed the strawberry one, but there were also other options. We even got the pleasure of meeting Lola which may have been my favourite part of the whole trip!

    Beer was perfect (hazy ipa & Berliner Weiss). Burger was good but the ban should be better and the price is definitely higher than it should be. Generaly, good place 🙌

  • 5/5 Chris H. 7 months ago on Google
    Loved this place. We had a paddle of IPAs all of which were very tasty. You can see the owners tending the beer regularly and the result is exceptional. Well worth a visit (or two).

  • 5/5 Johannes B. 7 months ago on Google
    Extremly nice Service and really good beer. We were twice there during our time in Barcelona because they also hosted a pub quiz which was super nice and friendly. If you like good beer and good Nachos you will also like this place.

    Only good vibes. The atmosphere hear is unmatched. Very relaxing yet exciting. The perfect date spot or meeting up with friends. The drinks were delicious. The interior is expertly designed with a modern and industrial vibe. The menu was easy to access online.

  • 4/5 Surtur6 5 months ago on Google
    Nice location with a relaxing terrace. Inside the pub you can witness how they brew their own beers which you can of course get from the tap. If you like craft beers, you should definitely give it visit. In about 1,5 hour time I was able to taste all 7 of their beers in the flight sizes.

    I went here twice. The first time I had a great experience and would have recommended it to anyone. The second time ( the next day) not so much. The negatives were since I was travelling alone, I felt that I got treated differently. I didn’t get the complementary chips in the table that the groups did, I didn’t get checked in on. The app to order food and drinks wasn’t working on the 2nd visit meaning waiting 30 mins for a beer. Overall I think it’s a great team and great business but I think if you are travelling alone be prepared to wait longer than a group.

    UPDATED: Blacklab Brewing is amazing, and I apparently wrote my first version of this review after several Claudias (great beer). During a week long trip to Barcelona (attending a conference), we went 4 times. I think that says enough. We even recommended it to friends at the conference. We originally learned about Blacklab from our niece and her husband. The location is great and the staff... they were so funny and attentive. We referred to it as the "Blacklab Vibe". Loan and Alessia are amazing and really created the "Vibe". They were jumping around and giving each other "high fives" while making sure everyone was taken care of. If you are in Barcelona, I suggest that the Black Lab should be on your list.

    Good spicy beef ramen, much better than many ramen places. Beef based broth had a nice flavour, noodles were rightly cooked end also beef strips were delicious. Staff was friendly and the service was quick.

    Best craft beer in Barcelona! We loved the Bushido Hazy IPA! And wonderful service! (plus the option to order from your table with a QR code)

  • 5/5 tom t. 3 months ago on Google New
    BlackLab is a fantastic microbrewery, it's location close to the water front and gothic quarter makes it easy to get to, the range of beers on tap is small compared to other brew pubs however the quality was very good.

  • 5/5 Justino B. C. 11 months ago on Google
    Very good craft beer pub, with lot of options. Quality product!

  • 5/5 Yana P. 1 year ago on Google
    Cozy place with tasty beer. They have quite good variety and everything is brewed on site

  • 5/5 Sarah K. 2 years ago on Google
    Totally unexpected stop lured in by the promise of craft beer. We tried several delicious and unique brews before carrying on with site seeing. Wonderful surprise stop. Kudos for the successful craft brews!

  • 4/5 Mike R. 5 years ago on Google
    Great location with an outdoor patio and ample indoor seating in a lounge like setting. Beer is average, but menu has a good mix of styles for every taste. Service is decent but even on slow days it seems like like they’re a little slow. Food is decent, if you’re looking for a break from tapas they have Asian and American style food options.

  • 5/5 Chuck Z. 4 years ago on Google
    Awesome brewery with a great story. The beer was fantastic with quite alot on tap. We stopped here for a beer and came back later in the day for dinner and the jam session. Highly recommended if you want good locally made beer and the food was equally amazing!

    One star is too much for this place Mediocre food & Very rude waitress. This place was sadly suggested to us for its list of beers. Suddenly my nose started to bleed. I rusted to the bathroom. There was no paper and I went to get some toilet paper. When I went out i shaw that someone had already mopped. Afterwards the waitress ( the one on service at 09/12/21 night shift, black hair and excessive makeup) insult me infront of my friends for this incident, that clearly wasn't intentional and I was incredibly embarrassed. She was rude, impolite and so judgemental that made everyone feeling bad. After her attitude we still ordered a second beer. 10 minutes later all of us we had a strong need for toilet and extreme pain in kidneys. Non of us gonna come here again.

    Cool bar near the beach with selfmade beers. Staff is nice and friendly and serve you really quickly. The beers change throughout the year so there's pretty much new ones every time you come here. Only four stars as I'm missing some time.of schedule where which beer will be available as it often happens that you go, and that one beer you really like, just ended.

  • 5/5 Farid S. 2 years ago on Google
    Oh my god, I visited this place 4 yrs ago and then yesterday. Completely blown away. The staff and people, incredibly nice, polite, helpful and overall fantastic. The 2-3lasies serving us were just so good. Now to the beers, great selection, reasonable prices and actually pretty good. And finally the wings. They had to be the most incredible, fall of the bone wings I've had in atleast a couple of years. Even the tiny winglets, you know the ones no one eats first were just clean, fall of the bone meat and fantastic. I'd love for buffalo spicy wings. And overall more sauces with them. But just incredible.
