    First night in Barcelona and stopped in on a whim. Very welcoming, English speaking staff who made a nice vermouth which was ordered alongside a beer. The bar was quite dark and small but the atmosphere was good and to my liking and the music not too loud. This would make for a great place to come with friends to chat the night away over some reasonably priced drinks. 5 stars based upon my experience and there was no good reason to give it any less.

    (Translated by Google) We usually go out several friends around the area every Saturday and we have been to Bar El Born 3 times, the first time it was all right, it has a variety of beers and the atmosphere is very nice, but my score is so low because twice of the 3 that we have gone has seemed that they wanted to tease us, especially one in a shameless way. They give us the drinks menu, we ask and when they charge us, we see that each cane cost a euro and a half more, when asking the waitress, she avoids giving us the letter and tells us that since it has served us at night time they are more expensive, I get angry and I claim that he has to charge me the price indicated in the letter. Finally they charge us for what has been said. The second time, they bring us the wrong letter again and discuss that if we had two beers that we had not asked for. Honestly, I don't come back because arguing every time we want to want extra money, it exhausts me. (Original) Solemos salir varios amigos por la zona cada sábado y hemos ido 3 veces al Bar El Born, la primera vez fue todo correcto, tiene variedad de cervezas y el ambiente es muy agradable, pero mi puntuación es tan baja porque en dos ocasiones de las 3 que hemos ido ha parecido que nos querían tomar el pelo, sobre todo una de forma descarada. Nos dan la carta de bebidas,pedimos y cuandos nos cobran, vemos que cada caña costaba una euro y medio de más, al preguntarle a la camarera, evita darnos la carta y nos dice que como nos ha servido en hora nocturna son más caras, me enfado y le reclamo que me tiene que cobrar el precio indicado en la carta. Finalmente nos cobran lo dicho. La segunda vez, nos traen de nuevo la carta equivocada y nos discuten que si hemos tomado dos cervezas que no habíamos ni pedido. Sinceramente, no vuelvo porque discutir cada vez que vamos por querer sacer dinero de más, me agota.

    Amazing location, in an old fisch shop. Drinks are mixed to perfection, service is superb. But the music combines it to a perfect evening. Good old school rock and metal mainly 70s and 80s played with a decent volume so talking is possible. Thank you, for a great evening.

    Stumbled in here after dinner one night and what a golden nugget it was. Great bar, great cocktails, brilliant staff and the atmosphere was buzzing. Another Barcelona highlight.

    A bar like you want it to be. Authentic interior, nice staff and moat importantly the good stuff 🤓

  • 5/5 Johnny H. 1 year ago on Google
    Our favourite bar in Barcelona. Great staff, good beer, excellent cocktails, and food - empanadas (made next door) and toasties are a VG late night option... Just look out for the mad Irishmen out on the prowl.. you'll recognise them from the ringleader's mad shirt and haircut! See photo.. (he's behind my cocktail -drinking wife).

  • 5/5 Irene J. 2 years ago on Google
    Local cozy vibe in the middle of El Born neighborhood. They have a nice cocktail menu and home made empanadas! Good spot for locals and tourists to chill and listen to good music!

  • 5/5 Сергей �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The bartenders are all about selection: beautiful, helpful, moderately courteous. Vermouth Negra comes as a native, especially in rainy weather. Dark wood, fogged up from the hubbub windows, Vermouth Negra and Spritz, only local pretty Spanish women! (Original) Бармены все как на подбор: красивы, услужливы, в меру обходительны. Вермут Negra заходит как родной, особенно при дождливой погоде. Темное дерево, запотевшие от гомона окна, Вермут Negra и Spritz, только местные симпатичные испанки!

    The bar is located in the heart of the city, has a beautiful atmosphere to hang out with friends among locals, have a vermouth and some Argentinians empanadas that are the cherry on top for the perfect night.

  • 5/5 Lesley C. 4 months ago on Google
    A Negroni is my favourite drink and I have tried them in numerous bars all over the world and this has to be the best. Alexia was our barmaid. Wonderful friendly service. Will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Earnest E. 4 months ago on Google
    Bar has a pretty good atmosphere. I went late at night around 1am and they were pretty busy but the service was good. The beef and chicken empanadas are homemade and very delicious! They were the best empanadas that I’ve ever had and I’ve travel all over the world. So if you have a chance to stop by and try the empanadas I would highly recommend that you try them.

  • 5/5 Laura M. 5 months ago on Google

    Very nice bar in a strategic place, there are many seats. The location is super cute and well-thought. The only problem i had was with the bathroom, the staircase that leads to it is very very very narrow and hard to use, i almost fell twice

  • 4/5 Bill M. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely bar, great location, good range of drinks, reasonable prices. Usually has a good mix of music to complete the atmosphere but unfortunately on Friday over-loud disco-pop drove us and maybe others away - there were few customers.

    Un coup de coeur a Barcelone! Honestly it's a MUST if you are in need of amazing cocktails. The service was on point, the drinks were insane and so delicious with some amazing presentation. The music was really nice (kept Shazam open all along to get the titles). A great place with amazing vibe.

  • 5/5 Nick F. 5 years ago on Google
    Stopped in for a quick drink in the early afternoon. Bartender was very friendly and their house special espresso martini is wonderful. Didn’t try any of their food offerings, but plenty of other people did so I’d assume they’re quality as well.
