Having a pet is very rewarding since you get to experience the kind of friendship that only exists between humans and animals. While it’s normal to want to take your pet with you everywhere, some places in Barcelona are more accepting or furry friends than others. Poble Sec is a beautiful neighborhood in Barcelona to live and rent, where you can find many establishments that welcome patrons with two or four legs.

Most restaurants and pubs have no problem if you bring your dog with you to hang outside on the terrace or even accompany you inside. Most bar and restaurant owners will welcome your dog to dine with you outside as long as you have a leash to be able to put on your dog for safety reasons. Even so, it’s best to know beforehand where your pet will be welcome and the policy on bringing animals into the restaurant. Gran Bodega Saltó is a neighborhood bar and winery that gives Poble Sec a taste of delicious wines and adds local color. Dogs are welcomed here on a leash to join their human friends as they enjoy a glass of wine.
