Barcelona is awesome for fans of craft beer. Microbreweries, bars, brewpubs and restaurants serving craft beers have invaded the city with the speed of light, and you can find great bars in any neighborhood you might find yourself. In addition to the bars there are also events on a weekly basis that attract both local and international breweries to town.

Here are our favorite craft beer bars and taprooms in Barcelona:

Biercab

30 rotating taps and tasty tapas, sounds great, right? This place is a true craft beer paradise, recognized as one of the best in the world (!). There's also a shop next door, good luck with going in there and NOT bringing anything home with you..! Read more about Biercab here.

Biercab, C/ Muntaner 55 (Eixample Esquerra).

La Rovira

In Gracia you can find this cosy bar: old school with great staff and a very homey feeling. 15 taps and a fridge full of bottles and cans. There is also food: the sandwiches are creative and delicious. Keep your eyes out for their meet the brewer-events. They have my favorite vermouth here, in case you want to drink something else between your pints. Read my review of La Rovira here.

La Rovira, C/ Rabassa 23 (Gracia).

Missa Bar

I’m a big fan of this friendly bar (it’s also dog friendly!) that serves a large assortment of craft beers, both local and international ones. They brew their own brews too, and they have really good natural wine options. And food, if you get hungry!

Carrer de Jesús 16 (Gràcia).

Bar de Crown Cerveza Barcelona

More than 100 craft beers and tapas, too, not a bad combo! They also organise beer tastings on a regular basis, you can follow them on Instagram at @crown.cerveza.

Galactic Bear Brewing Co

Galactic Bear brews their own beer, and they have a taproom which you can visit, both four tours or just to hang out and drink some beers. They have pub quizes, trivia nights, and other activities, and I thoroughly enjoy the vibes here. They also have a spot called La Més Petita by Galactic Bear (Diputació 30 (Eixample Esquerra).

Noumades

Noumades is quite the temple for those who love good beer, natural wines, and great food. Starting with the beer, they pick out their favorite craft brews (many of them local) and serve them as fresh as they come, straight from the tap. With 14 taps to choose from, you can find their regularly updated selection listed online. Interestingly enough, you can also find beers brewed with hops the owner has picked out, as he buys and distributes hops not only in Spain but also around Europe. Expect some gems if you are a fan of craft beer! Don’t miss out on the burgers!

Noumades, Carrer Casp 55 (Eixample Dreta).
