Where? Carrer de la Reina Cristina, 7 (Metro: Barceloneta)
Founded in 1969, this famous cava and tapas bar is the perfect place to enjoy the traditional drink. The venue has developed a fantastic reputation for offering great cava and tapas at ridiculously low prices. Glasses of cava will set you back a mere €1.50 and what’s more, they offer the chance to purchase bottles of cava in their store for only 2€!
Disset 17 Graus
Where? Carrer Antic de Sant Joan, 9 (Metro: Barceloneta or Jaume)
This elegant and cosy bar / restaurant is a great place to enjoy cava in comfort. Nestled away in the trendy born district this bar has a huge range of great cava and just like La Xampanyeria you can order by the glass without having to purchase a whole bottle. Prices are slightly higher than La Xampanyeria but it’s a little more luxurious inside and definitely the kind of place you could take someone for a romantic date.
