3. Ryan’s Irish Pub

Ryan’s is a small chain Irish pub and considered one of the best in Barcelona! This location, situated in the Barrio Gótico area, has three levels with a pool table upstairs, space for live music and stand-up comedy downstairs, and six large screens for those wanting to catch the big Barça game, or some Premier League footy.

4. The Black Horse

This English pub in Barcelona offers more than great draft, tap and bottle beers. Enjoy a competitive game of darts, join the weekly language exchange, the Sunday night pub quizzes or appreciate a nice game of football in Barcelona! The atmosphere set for all ages, but the majority of patrons are between 20 and 35. The Black Horse serves to be one of the superior hangouts in the city, definitely worth popping in to!

5. Flaherty’s Irish Pub

This family-owned Irish pub in Barcelona is known for serving authentic Irish dishes coupled with a slew of draught and bottle beers. Tucked away off Las Ramblas, P. Flaherty’s keeps the Barcelona football game on and the party going. Choose to sit outside on the terrace on those warm, summer days or inside by the bar.

7. The Michael Collins Irish Bar

This is one of the best Irish bars in town and probably the closest thing you’ll find to a traditional pub. Situated at the foot of the magnificent Sagrada Familia, this bar is always ready to welcome you into its warm atmosphere – with a burning fire and people laughing in every corner. The food menu features typical pub-style dishes that you can enjoy with a pint of beer, ale or Guinness (other drinks are available too!) whilst you get involved in the pub quiz, enjoy a live band, watch the football on the big screen or simply catch up with friends and soak up the lively vibes.
