    I came here hoping to find some Dali work as some of my research on the internet suggested there might be. There wasn’t any. (I’ll be going to Figueres) It is a free gallery and today it had nice exhibitions in 2 rooms of just 2 artists. I still enjoyed it and definitely easy to access

    Expensive without any service. Basically a money grab based of location

    I had this restaurant on my list before I even got to town. It was fantastic. One of the better views in Barcelona. Good drinks, great tapas. Great waiters. And so far one of the best margaritas in town.

    I love it here. Great food, reasonably priced given context. Friendly and attentive staff. I love that you have to "ask" to be allowed in lol. Back again now in August and just as good as before. Great food, great service and perfectly reasonable price. One of my favourites

    (Translated by Google) It is a unique and very special building. Its terrace forms a cross that is a reference in the Gothic quarter (Original) Es un edifici singular i molt especial. La seva terrassa configura una cruilla que es un referent al barri gotic

    The location of the restaurant is very nice, the terrace oversees a small square with beautiful houses, but the service is terrible and chaotic. Mismatched orders, long waiting for every order and even longer for the bill. The food is at best “average”, so if you visit the place just for a few drinks, it’s probably worth it, because of the location.

    Great terrace overlooking the busy streets, located on top of an art gallery in a beautiful building. Great food, reasonably priced with a nice selection of Spanish wines and Cavas and tapas that will make you want to come for more.

    The Royal Artistic Circle of Barcelona occupies an old residential building that is known as Casa Bassols. To create its HQ, the Circle merged this sixteenth century building with the Palace of the Counts of Pignatelli. The current building combines gothic and neo-classical elements, similarly to many other buildings in the Gothic Quarter.

    It was really busy, meaning the service wasn't up to standard. It took ages to get served and we only stayed for one drink because of this.

    Our Christmas holiday was ruined by one individual who was minding the entrance to the candlelight concert. We had front row tickets for the show but we were 3 minutes late. The man insisted that we need to sit in the last row for the whole duration and would not let us enter. He was rude and insisted that he was the boss and we cannot talk to anyone else. He also said, “we can go back and he doesn’t care about our tickets”. He bodily blocked the door! We have never been treated like this and walked out without seeing the show. Avoid Reial Cere Artistic de Barcelona.

    Tribute to Abba concert became an experience that I would like to forget! This evening was jinxed, on the way to the concert I had a fall and was bleeding on my elbow and had to rush to a farmacia for first aid. However, reached the concert place three minutes late only to be greeted by the most rude, racist Spanish guy ever. Who claimed to be the boss of the place and refused to let us sit in our A Zone tickets. I appealed to his good side (now i know he had none) told him about the accident and that we will sit behind for the duration of the ongoing song and move in between songs. But he bodily barred the door and said, “no we cannot enter and he doesn’t care if our tickets go waste!” Wow seriously, if that’s how Barcelona treats their visitors… We had enough bad luck for one evening. I am still grateful that I am back in my hotel room with no broken bones. Feel sorry for his family to deal with an A*******like him.
