One of a plethora of trendy cafe-bars to choose from in the fashionable Gracía district, this modest little spot keeps its feet on the ground with an element of style.  Serving copas, cocktails and all-day entre pans, this no-nonsense, neat little hangout attracts a healthy crowd of young professionals and local students.  Tastefully decorated with local art and photography, set against the exposed red brick interior, the comfortable bar offers a worthy place to relax for an easy drink.

The bar rests in a narrow side street off the grand Plaça Virreina, directly beside the beautiful Iglesia Sant Joan.  Custom usually spills out onto the tables in the alley throughout the year.  The seats outside are comfortably padded and offer a great place to gaze upon the church from a quiet distance with a drink of your choice.
