Ambiance:
Loved the vibe, wooden accents and moody amber lighting inside Bar Raval. Feels like I'm transported to another place! Mostly standing-only with a few bar stools (which we were lucky to score). Casual, friendly, refined and welcoming. It was buzzing and lively on a Tuesday evening - my cousin waited in line for half an hour before she was able to get in - they don't take reservations.
Food:
Ordered two cocktails, and split 4 appetizers between the two of us. We went on a Tuesday evening. made all the right food choices: mixed kale salad, mushroom tower, octopus and squid. You have to try them all!
Service:
Attentive and friendly, prompt and courteous. No complaints!
Overall Verdict:
Food and drinks are a bit on the pricier side but it's worth it to indulge from time to time. Cocktails are generous with the alcohol content and you can definitely taste the booze! Bring a friend or two, socialize with the other patrons (it's definitely an environment that encourages it, based on its room setup and intimate vibe), and have fun on a weeknight- no need to wait for the weekend - it's packed full of people everyday!
