Taberna "Pottoka", Zaragoza 🇪🇦 1st visit. Definitely one of the highlights so far. Basque country intruding on Aragon here with Cider, punk alternative tones and a pintxos range for everyone. Activist boozer that's instantly casual, friendly and likable. 👍🍏🍺
November 26, 2025 at 10:08 PM
El Sol, Zaragoza 🇪🇦 1st visit. Beautiful interior inspired by Iberian tiling, renaissance art &- j grand café fittings. Large space with a club for salsa downstairs. The operation is struggling to fulfil its potential though, a little tacky, but plenty to enjoy still 👍
November 26, 2025 at 7:51 PM
Bodegas Almau, Zaragoza 🇪🇦 1st visit. Famous institution in 'El Tubo', the beating heart of the city's nightlife. Humble, local and up-market options with helpful staff. Enjoyed the casual drop-in nature of the format and atmosphere. I would strongly recommend a visit. 🍷👍
November 26, 2025 at 6:59 PM
Bar AMBlas, Zaragoza 🇪🇦 1st visit. Retro delights at a frozen in time café bar. 100% local rhythms, a kitchen pumping out food like caracoles 🐌 Very cheap. €4 for what's pictured. Kind service too. 👍🍺🍷
November 26, 2025 at 3:21 PM
La Tipica Tasca, Zaragoza 🇪🇦 1st visit. Tiny corner bar. We were first in then locals started arriving within 10 mins. Owner knew what to serve them without asking. Most bizarrely a tribute carved into the floor in English "In memory of David Byrne, writer from Ireland"

🍷🍺👍
November 26, 2025 at 11:37 AM
Casa Agustin, Zaragoza 🇪🇦 1st visit to this bar dating back to 1905. Superb spread of pintxos and the first time I've spotted the coloured flag skewers used to calculate the bill. Not even Bilbao uses those anymore. Clearly a local institution, fair prices. 🍺👍

Bar Los Edustios, Zaragoza 🇪🇦 1st visit. The most cheese 🧀 focused bar I've been to, dating to the 1970s. Lively, a genuine vibrance to it. Local options that will not break the bank.🍷👍
November 25, 2025 at 10:51 PM
Los Victorinos, Zaragoza 🇪🇦 1st visit. Super tapas bar with bullfighting ephemera (this is Aragon) and fantastic array of food. Good lively atmosphere and kind service. 🍷👍
November 25, 2025 at 7:33 PM
Gran Cafe Zaragozano, Zaragoza 🇪🇦 1st visit. A kind of saloon rather than a Grand Café. Relatively tasteful but just a little bit ersatz. Was one of the central bars open this time of day and a city institution, so it was worth a try. Keep it as a backup. 🍺👍
November 25, 2025 at 5:27 PM
Taberna Fausto, Zaragoza 🇪🇦 1st visit. The most low key of beginnings. North of the Ebro river. Social daytime hangout. Server spoke English and was very welcoming. They offer a range of food but specialise in croquetas. 👍🍺

On to Zaragoza for 2 nights!
November 25, 2025 at 6:33 AM
Gran Bodega Salto, Barcelona 🇪🇦 2nd visit. Despite visiting in the evening it is still Monday, so quite quiet around Poble-Sec. Another of the genuinely visual standouts in the city, with live music and a bizarre update on an arch-traditional concept 🎶 🍺 🍷👍
November 24, 2025 at 10:57 PM
Quimet & Quimet, Barcelona 🇪🇦 1st visit. Tiny bar in Poble-Sec that is known, shall we say. Service a little bit gatekeepingy, but when you're in it's a nice space and the quality of food and drink is a step up. 🍺🥃👍🍷
November 24, 2025 at 10:10 PM
Bodega Armando, aka Celler D'En Frank Peterssein, Barcelona 🇪🇦 2nd visit. Had to politely knock on the door as the bar guy was having his dinner during down time. Really a nice space with ambience whether quiet or busy. A friendly spot where service puts you at ease. 👍🍷🍺🥃
November 24, 2025 at 6:27 PM
Bar Amadeu, Barcelona 🇪🇦 1st visit. Time capsule. Kind service, local life, customers who have visited for years. Antidote to gentrification. Humble, affordable. Guests eating hearty late lunches & socialising. Rioja & Mineral Water €5. A few craft beer bottles too🍷👍🍺
November 24, 2025 at 4:08 PM
Bodega Sant Medir, Barcelona 🇪🇦 1st visit. Sants. Vermuts and wines. Authentic interior with the classical features. Modernised wine selection lately and friendly service. 🥃🍷👍
November 24, 2025 at 2:35 PM
Bodega Montferry, Barcelona 🇪🇦 1st visit. Sants district. Long-standing classic. Cannily mixes authentic offering with modern choices. When busy you can linger at the bar until seats become available. 🥃🍷🍺👍

November 24, 2025 at 7:52 AM
El Bosc De Les Fades 🇪🇦 2nd visit. 8 years since our last. One of those eye-openers that inspired the guide. Despite all reason to ramp prices up to max they barely seem to have moved at all. Quite reasonable for one of the more touristy venues. Fantastical experience that can enhance a holiday 👍🍺🥂
November 23, 2025 at 11:40 PM
Antic Teatre, Barcelona 🇪🇦 1st visit. Beautiful courtyard bar part of a culture centre. Near the extraordinary Palau de la Musica Catalana. Don't let this city become passé. It has an ability to keep on surprising you 👍🍺🍷
November 23, 2025 at 10:48 PM
4Pedres, Badalona 🇪🇦 1st visit. A real one-off. Family run 'museum' to beer. 10 specialist taps and a host of bottles from trad to modern. Interior highly personalised and cosy. Complimentary tapas with each drink. Last stop on the L2 metro. Do not miss this out! 🍺👍
November 23, 2025 at 7:42 PM
Bodega La Capitana, Barcelona 🇪🇦 1st visit. Sepia-toned elegant bar decorated with portraits of dancers. Long room widens at the end. Good selection of sherries. Croquetas impressive. Lively this PM with dancing in the backroom.
November 23, 2025 at 4:35 PM
Bodega Iturre, Barcelona 🇪🇦 1st visit. Small winery near Sagrada Familia. A lively, relevant feel partly due to the pleasant young servers. Bomba €3 giving some fishy spice to enjoy alongside a beer (or wine). A truly likeable place 🍷 🍺 🍢
