Looking for the cheapest bars in Barcelona? Here’s where to go.
1) L’Ovella Negra
With two locations in central Barcelona, Ovella Negra is a popular spot with young people due to its low prices and good vibes. This tavern-style bar serves up cheap beer and sangria – what’s not to like? It also often has big football games on the TV so, atmosphere wise, this bar is the place to be.
Address: Carrer de les Sitges 5, 08001 Barcelona and Carrer de Zamora, 78, 08018, Barcelona
2) The Mint
If cocktails are more your thing, but the price tag is too hefty, The Mint is the bar for you! This spot serves up cheaper cocktails than most, with exciting live music and stand-up comedy to go alongside it. This bar has a vintage feel to it, with deep red mood lighting and cellar-like walls.
Address: Passeig d’Isabel II, 4, 08003, Barcelona
3) Dow Jones
This cheap Barcelona bar has a super-cool stock market concept behind it. You watch and wait to see which drinks go up or down in value (based on what other customers are buying) and purchase your drink accordingly. Whilst this can be pricey if you get your strategy wrong, Dow Jones can also be pretty affordable by picking the right drink at the right time. Between the entertainment value and general price of this fun bar, how can you go wrong?
Address: Carrer del Bruc, 97, 08009, Barcelona
4) Bar Manchester
Located in the trendy El Raval neighbourhood, Bar Manchester serves up cocktails and draft beer in an intimate setting. The playlist is heaven for fans of 80s and 90s British indie rock. The Smiths, the Stone Roses and New Order are to be expected at this unique spot. In terms of drinking the beer and cider is budget-friendly. Overall, a great option for the more alternative among us.
Address: Carrer de Valldonzella, 40, 08001, Barcelona
5) Espit Chupitos
This is the perfect cheap Barcelona bar for you if you love shots. With more than 600 different shots from just 2 euros each, this bar is the perfect place to drink before the club… and fairly cheaply! Espit Chupitos has an incredibly fun atmosphere and four locations in Barcelona. The shots have funny names and a performance to go with them.
