Gran Bodega Saltó

Barcelona


The ranks of barrels and classic tapas menu give away this century-old bar's history as a traditional bodega. Now, after a little homemade psychedelic redecoration with mismatched lamps, figurines and old Chinese beer ads, it's a magnet for an eclectic barfly crowd and gets busy during live-music sessions (usually 8pm Thursday, 1pm and 8pm Friday to Sunday, but check online).
