  • 5/5 Richard C. 5 years ago on Google
    Brilliant little bar dedicated to heavy metal, playing Judas priest whilst I was in there, great beer too, Punk IPA on tap, served in a frosted glass. The lady behind the bar was be friendly too and took the time to talk to me whilst I bumbled through their little Spanish I know. The bar was quiet when I was there but it was the middle of winter and early evening. El bar es fantastico, musica de Judas Priest cuando visitado. Cervesa el mejor en Barcelona, Punk IPA. La Señorita ayudarme hablo español tambien. Muchas Gracias.

    (Translated by Google) One of the best Metal Pubs in Barcelona. And it is much more than that: good atmosphere, good football, good people and good music! ? (Original) Un dels millors Metal Pubs de Barcelona. I és molt més que això: bon ambient, futbolin, bona gent i bona música! ?

    Great metal bar with an amazing collection of classic metal on CD which covers part of the wall behind the bar.

    Not enough rock/metal bars love album covers enough to make them a 3D feature of their establishment. Hell awaits on the other hand has really put the effort in to its decor. I found myself looking at one of the walls wanting to scream "MASTER! MASTER!" at the top of my voice but that would have looked a bit odd. Also if you like Iron Maiden better than Metallica then they have you covered.

    Got served a sour infected beer (The Trooper) on tap. The bartender refused to admit there was something wrong with the beer. After a lot of argument i got the same beer on bottle instead, completely different, and tasting 100% correct. The bartender is still refusing to admit that the beer on tap was defect. One does not have to be a beer judge like me to tell that a beer is wrong when it tastes and smells and tastes like an old rag. Poor and impolite service, will not go back here.

    Since I moved away from Barcelona, not a day goes by that I don't miss this place. It's rare that a bar makes you feel this home. The CD archive of the bartender is extra impressive. Saludos, horns up! 🤘

    METAL!!! Eddy and Snaggletooth by the door, Master Of Puppets on the back wall with extra 3D crosses in front, music played by DVD so you get the in-concert experience, and fantastic hosts. Wish I got a pic of the bar to share but instead enjoy these two icons.
