Balius Bar

Balius Bar anchors a corner of Poblenou with a moody, atmospheric interior and a drinks list broad enough to suit most tastes. Reviewers regularly recommend pairing cocktails with the cheese and cold cuts platter, treating it as a proper stop for food as much as drinks. It gets genuinely packed on weekend nights, which can slow the service, but the atmosphere and variety keep people coming back. No reservation is needed, though arriving early is wise on busier evenings.
