Bar Electricitat

4.4 (1,809)$$ · Mid-range

Bar Electricitat carries one of the highest local scores in this set alongside a fairly modest must-see score, the profile of a genuine neighborhood haunt rather than a tourist stop. Reviewers describe a fun, pleasant, distinctly local vibe, with the bomba and croquettes singled out as standouts alongside the house vermouth. Visiting early in the morning avoids any wait, according to reviewers, which suggests it can get busy once the neighborhood crowd settles in. It's a good fit for travelers who want a slice of everyday Barcelona life over a polished dining room.

What people say

"Went there very early in the morning and hence there was no wait. Bomba was really good as well as the croquettes. We really liked the house vermouth. Staff was helpful to find and set a table for us."
