Mateus Martins
★★★★★2 months agoThe Craft Bar has a unique atmosphere where music lovers and those looking for a good time really feel at home. The openness for people to share their musical taste and talent makes the experience very engaging and enjoyable. Guests can perform live with a band, not only singing but also bringing their own instruments to play. Rock is at the heart of the place, and it truly stands out as a great spot for fans of the genre. Overall, it’s an enriching and fun experience for anyone who appreciates good rock music and live performance energy.

★★★★★2 months agoA great spot, I was hesitant due to the craft beer status, in UK/Ireland craft beer is associated with a crowd that are hard to tolerate, not so in Craft Barcelona, it's a cool spot, not cheap but not extortionate either. Live music on various evenings, Tuesday night is open mic, run by a very charismatic lady. T'was a lot of fun. Would certainly recommend, as one who is pushing 50 years old, I was one of the oldest people in the bar, but I didn't feel out of place. Thank you Craft Barcelona, your staff are sound & clientele are also very affable.
