POBLE SEC
BARS
Bar Seco Pg. de Montjuïc 74 933 296 374, barseco.blogspot.com.es ; Paral.lel;
map . The “Dry Bar” is a local hit, with its mellow vibe, freshly squeezed juices, Free Trade
drinks and artisan beers. Standout dish from the Slow Food-inspired, veggie-friendly menu
is patatas salvajes (“wild potatoes”) - fried organic skin-on spuds with a fiery alioli . Big
picture windows look out onto the corner plot, and there's terrassa seating over the road.
Mon-Fri 8am-8pm (Thurs until 1am, Fri until 2am), Sat 10am-2am, Sun 10am-8pm.
Celler Cal Marino c/de Margarit 54 933 294 592, calmarino.com ; Poble Sec; map .
The wines in the barrels are to take away at knockdown prices, and you can drink a copa for
under two euros, but there's also a more sophisticated wine selection available in this cav-
ernous, stone-walled tavern. Add cheap tapas and a jolly neighbourhood crowd, and there's
no reason not to stop by. Tues-Fri noon-3.30pm & 7.30-11.30pm, Sat 11.30am-3pm &
7.30-11.30pm, Sun 11.30am-3pm.
CerveceríaJazz c/de Margarit 43 934433259, cerveceriajazz.com ; Poble Sec; map .
Grab a stool at the carved bar and shoot the breeze over a Catalan craft beer. It's an amiable
joint with great music, jazz to reggae, and locals swear that the burgers are the best in town.
Tues-Sat 7pm-3am.
La Tieta c/de Blai 1 600 742 532; Paral.lel; map . Small but perfectly formed, “The
Aunt” is a cool drinks and tapas place, with selected wines served by the glass, an open
window onto the street and just enough room inside for a dozen or so good friends. Daily
6-11.30pm (Fri & Sat until midnight).
