Peer through the glass walls of this lively LGBTQI-friendly hangout inside the Filmoteca de Catalunya, and you'll spot long wooden tables, rickety chairs, leafy plants, industrial touches and a cobbled floor that mimics the square outside. Great cocktails and vermouth, a €12 menú del dia and delectable tapas (€4 to €12) like grilled Huelva prawns and Catalan fuet (thin pork sausage).
