Bar Raval made me feel nostalgia for my days in Barcelona with a glass of wine and a couple plates of tapas. :)
At first sight, Bar Raval has really cute wooden decor that's shaped in Gaudi's signature curves. The space is a bit small, and mostly standing room with the exception of several bar stools. The tables are barrels which are quite interesting. This is similar to Spanish Pintxo bar settings.
The food was really delicious! We had several small dishes from the selection and the price was quite moderate.
Our favorite was the squid with black rice! And surprisingly the rice was the best part. The tiger shrimp and romesco sauce was also excellent.
I would recommend coming to this place early, or come in between the happy hour and night drinking hour to get a spot as it can get quite crowded. It's mostly standing room, so comfortable shoes might be appropriate.
