You are transported to Barcelona in this wonderful tapas bar and restaurant. Sublime tapas and raciones, brilliant wine and beers and fantastic staff. The owner is the bomb. Go there....but book on weekends as it's tiny, atmospheric and popular. A nightcap after a meal elsewhere is always noisy and fun.
