It\u2019s popularly is likely due in large part to the fact it\u2019s cheap, especially so if you have their loyalty card.

And if you are out to get \u2018merry\u2019 with\u00a0friends, you may enjoy their 5 shots for \u20ac5. Single shots are \u20ac1.50.<br \/>\nAnother reason for its popularity is the <strong>friendly service<\/strong> from the staff, as well as the fact they have screens where they show British and Spanish <strong>football matches<\/strong> and other sporting events.<br \/>\nThe cheap drinks and fun atmosphere tends to draw in a younger crowd, especially on weekend nights.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Temple_Bar\"><\/span><strong>The Temple Bar<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/The-George-Payne-8.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-57691\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/The-George-Payne-8-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"The George Payne-8\" width=\"245\" height=\"163\" \/><\/a><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For a cosy Irish pub vibe with a good atmosphere, one of the best options is the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/templebarbcn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Temple Bar<\/a><\/strong>, just off the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/las-ramblas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ramblas<\/a>. This is a great place to get chatting with expats over a refreshing pint, or simply just enjoy the vibe. You can also enjoy a bite to eat, serving simple <strong>Tex Mex food<\/strong> which although not British grub is nonetheless a tasty offering. Again, here you can watch the major sporting events, mainly the big <strong>European football leagues<\/strong>. In addition, they often have live music, further enhancing the atmosphere.

It\u2019s very popular among expats in Barcelona, being such a typical Irish pub with tasty and comforting <strong>British\/Irish food<\/strong> on the menu, as well as the beers on tap of course, and a friendly staff to serve you. A really great place to enjoy food and drink with friends. And the atmosphere is very relaxed. There is also a very traditional and authentic style with the wooden bars and leather seating.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One lovely aspect of this pub is the little<strong> terrace<\/strong> on which to enjoy that pint under the sunny Barcelona sky. As always, there are big flat screens for all the Barca matches.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Michael_Collins_Irish_Bar\"><\/span><strong>The Michael Collins Irish Bar<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Situated close to the Sagrada Familia, the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/michaelcollinspubs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Michael Collins Irish bar<\/a><\/strong> holds a lot of popularity and fame in Barcelona, particularly among expats. Perhaps in part due to its <strong>old-fashioned style<\/strong> and spaciousness. Although a little expensive, there is a good selection of beers and Irish Whisky. This is also a great place for some truly traditional and <strong>tasty homemade pub food<\/strong>, including Guiness steak pie.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is certainly not an exhaustive list of Irish pubs in Barcelona, and indeed there are several others where you are likely to find a good pint and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
