    Local sea dogs come to the sepia-toned cervecería for house-brewed lager & a dizzying array of tapas (boat-fresh squid; flash-fried padrón peppers). More places to eat like a local: tandl.me/12ufz7c

    The artisanal draught beer is perfect. The solomillo con foie y cebolla (beef filet mignon with duck liver and onions) is a fav, but fresh fish prepared a la plancha (on the grill) is excellent.

    One of the best tapas bar in bcn. Best beers as well. Authentic enviroment. Ask for the meat with foie and do not miss the ensaladilla rusa. If you try it you will not be dissapointed!!!

    Solomillo con pimientos del padron. The red wine is good, even though it's actually a beer place.

    Love the beer, the smoked salmon, the jamon serrano, the russian salad, pimientos, and all the other stuff. Also try the tarte for dessert. Yummyy!

    Wow. Wow. Wow. The "Solomillio con Foie" is unreal. Get it with a side of fried peppers, toast and a house-brewed beer.

    Very tasty tapas and home brewed beer in an authentic bar. Service is so so but is there any place in Barcelona that has good service?

    Stand at the bar for your meal to get the full experience. Great: granjero sandwich, solomillo with foie, ensaladilla rusa. Just ok: calamares.

    Very good food (try their house special, the sirloin steak with foie), very authentic atmosphere: you stand at the bar, its crowded and noisy. Exactly as it should be!

    The best tapas in BCN. Stay away! It's already too packed. :-) If you can find some standing room get a filo, the solomillo, the granjero, and mohama
