    Great spot but overpriced and disgusting tapas. Total tourist rip off. 15euros for nachos where the cheese is not even melted. Pricey very small patatas bravas (a basic) are not fully cooked and horribly oily. Zero taste. I recommend the place for a pricey drink and some electro in the background for a holiday feeling, thats it.

    We ordered a jug of Sangria and some nachos (which were AWFUL) costing us €40. After another couple left (that had 2 drinks and some potato’s) we went to sit at that table to finish our sangria. First we were told we couldn’t sit there because there was only two of us, there were loads of 2’s sat on these tables and then we were told we couldn’t sit there because we were not eating, we had already eaten and then we were told we couldn’t sit there because we were not allowed to move tables, when we had already seen 2 other people move to these tables. Staff were rude, made us feel awful and embarrassed in front of people around us. The two girls on the table next to us - 2 people, only drinking - were disgusted at the way we were spoken to. As were we, and we left. Horrible

    SCAMERS! Be aware! I have ordered 500ml Sangria and they gave me a glass of 300 ml, when I asked if this is 500 ml, they started to be arrogant and say is not... they steal you in your face. Fake reviews!

    Avoid at all costs. This is an absolutely disgusting place and a shame on the great city of Barcelona. Everyone in Barcelona works together to maintain their tourist industry, and the people at this food joint work to ruin it. The municipal authority needs to look at the quality of the people representing their city. The staff are extremely rude and the food would make you sick. One staff member (girl) in particular repeatedly berated all the customers including children. For two hours I observed it as we were sitting close by. What she said in Catalan as she took the orders does not bare repeating. Horrible, horrible, vile person. She should never work in customer service. Ever. The food is appalling and massively, massively overpriced. It is a Health risk. The input costs to the sandwiches is no more than €0.60-€0.80 per sandwich but they charge €13 per sandwich average. Smoothies are 250ml and are over €8. I've never seen such an appalling profit markup. They may make money in the short run but in the long term they will not, and it will be too late to turn the business model. Not smart business people.

    Bad experience! Dont go! I paid for 500ml of tinto de verano and I got 80% of ice. Small French fries was €7.I paid for small fries, ice and olives €23.4! I can't even complain because the lady didn't understand English.

    Doesn’t deserve more… too expensive, not all clean, horrible Music. Not really an enjoyable place to stay. 2 star rating as the beach umbrellas are really cheap with 15€ per day, sun loungers are the same each. Please is still terribly crowed…

    Tourist trap. Food is really bad and drinks are totally overpriced compared to the ones at the closest chiringuito, which is much better. 11,50€ for a tinto de verano (which is bad wine with soda… it can’t never be higher than a regular glass of wine!). Never say this in a review because each person’s experience could be different, but: don’t go!

    We had a great stay here and we're able to switch to a sofa with no problems... Lugi and the others of the Team were great and we had a good family time at this place...

    Really good food and Drinks. I am in love with the chicken bowl. But the service is absolutely terrible! You wait hours for the menue then again hours till you can place an order and then again hours till you get the food. If you come here you need to have time.

    Bar has nice vibes and prices are according to it's location on the beach. But could not recommend because we weren't served. We sat down at the low table and bartender was quick to us to tell us we cannot sit there because we were only two and tables are three minimum and to sit somewhere else on the patio. After that we just weren't served anymore. After 25 minutes we left. Not coming back, I recommend going to any other beach bar.

    Absolute rip of cost me €9 for a pint (which was only 500ml not 556ml, the traditional measurement of an imperial pint) but the benefit of the high price is the fact you can get a refill. When I provided my receipt and my glass for a refill, I was told to buy another overpriced pint. In short: DO NOT GO HERE FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE. If I could give a lower review I'd give it -5. Rude staff also.

    Solid place to spend time and chill by the beach without getting sand all up in your business. Has all the drinks and some basic food choices but tasted great. Lots of space and comfortable to hang with friends.

    I had to come inside and order because was waiting for friends and the weather outside wasn't great. As a shelter this place is quite alright, low tables or normal chairs, clean, cosy enough. The service was fine, at the bar they tried their best explaining something, and another waiter brought my order in 5 min. Didn't bother me after, which was best. The drink, pinacolada, was DISGUSTING. In a plastic cup, bits of coir, the froth made of fat, not milk, costed €13... Just order something safe, nothing not simple. Maybe look around and check what others are having, because there were a few people eating their food without, you would expect, publicly complaining.

    Perfect place on beach for morning coffe and breakfast. In morning is not busy, and can enjoy in peace and full service. Some products are unexpected expensive for example beer is 8 eur.

    I’m travelling with 2 young kids. My daughter and I are coeliac. The waitress, Ana, was friendly, careful with our dishes, made changes and suggestions to ensure our experience was safe and delicious. Very thankful and very full. Thank you to Ana and the whole team for making it super easy.

    Do yourself a favour and go in any of the other beach bars. This is the most expensive chiringuito in Barcelona, but without a good reason to be. I paid 3.70 for a tiny sparkling water (250ml) and 3 for a very small still water. I left feeling scammed.

  • 1/5 Jonas L. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly staff. Quite loud music, hard to talk to the others across the table. Very much below average food.

  • 5/5 Russell R. 7 months ago on Google
    This beach bar is significantly better than the others we went to. Better service, better vibe, better food, better drink selection. 11/10 recommend for beachfront food and drinks in Barcelona.

  • 3/5 Maximilian D. 10 months ago on Google
    Good bar for a Drink, but for more its too expensive. Cocktail for 12-14€ is too much. The taste was good, ambiente good👍 would recommend the caipirinha. The view on Barcelona was good

  • 3/5 Verena P. 8 months ago on Google
    It's all the location. I payed 9 eur for a beer there. Quite expensive. I did not try the food. But yes, nice location and nice music.

  • 5/5 Bruno A. 7 months ago on Google
    Great location and atmosphere. Beers a bit overpriced (8 the one in the pic), but I guess it's what you pay anywhere for such an experience. To improve: wifi requires Facebook or Instagram accounts. Who does use FB and Instagram nowadays? (I do, but I'm old) come on! 🤣

    Delicious food, good drinks and nice staff! But still very expensive tho! The view and environment is amazing!

  • 4/5 Ademar A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, music, lounges and drinks. Since you are at the beach, the prices are higher than when in the city. However, the quality of the drinks are great as well as the staff, very friendly. Everything is offered in English and Spanish.

  • 1/5 Yves L. 2 years ago on Google
    Worst beach experience in Barcelona. Rude and unfriendly service guy. Food inedible. But beer was good - that’s the one star.

  • 3/5 Chioma O. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a basic ham and cheese sandwich here. The boiled potatoes were pretty tasty though. Drinks were pretty watered down but its a nice location by the beach.

  • 4/5 AMM 2 years ago on Google
    Good for beer and relax on the beach. The food is not so good.

  • 1/5 Mark H. 4 years ago on Google
    As others have said, the service here is terrible this year. We waited 20 minutes for a waiter to come and when he did, he barely spoke a word of English, so of course, our order came back wrong. The next day at the take away window, another server also didn't understand basic English, so walked away. I was then told by the guy in the photo that this is Spain and if I don't speak Spanish, I shouldn't come to this bar. Not a very 2019 attitude in the city that prides itself on tollerence and equality.

    Very touristy but amazing beach location makes for an awesome combination of drinking, eating, and people watching!

    Our last day in this city. Without a doubt, the best musical choice

    Two beers and nacho's on the beach. What more do you need 😎. Me and my wife enjoyed

  • 1/5 Umar r. 2 years ago on Google
    avoid for sure. 1 star is generous. Awful service - came to the beach and paid for the sun lounge - was given a menu 1 hour ago and waited for the waiter to come back. He never did. despite this, I went to the bar to order and was sent on a goose chase to find the waiter in order for him to take my order.... It seems they don't want you to order! Clearly Covid didn't make an Impact on their business. Anyways, I ended up walking out and getting a drink from the guys who walk around. Awful Awful service. They expect you to chase them even when it's not busy.

    We went there just for drinks, but they were amazing - One of the best I've had in my life. The service was quick and kind.

  • 4/5 Kateryna T. 2 years ago on Google
    Just another beach bar. Service is slow, prices are fair. Sandwiches are good but the crepes and pancakes are terrible, impossible to eat as they were rock hard which is really strange.

    Cozy, super friendly and good food
