Cerveceria Catalana

This place is a staple whenever I visit Barcelona, I have been coming here for over 10 years. I end up here on numerous occasions day and night (it's open from 7:30am until 1:30am Mon-Sun). The tapas is superb, with some fantastic daily specials such as baby squid, it has a nice outside area and the atmosphere inside is great too. There is a real buzz and it feels like a local place, not a tourist trap. On my last trip, and a little worse for wear, I managed to forget how to get here and a group of us spent nearly an hour and a half (no, really) in a taxi trying to find it. And failed. The following day some friends that live in Barcelona took us to their favourite tapas bar... you guessed it. Suffice to say, highly recommended.
