About Bar venues

A bar is a venue centred on drinks, from beer and wine to cocktails and spirits, usually with a small food menu of snacks or shareable plates. The focus is the social atmosphere and the bar service rather than a sit-down meal.

Spanish dining revolves around quality, sociability and the joys of eating at length. Tapas culture — small, shareable plates designed to be grazed over conversation and wine — is a national institution across the country. Spanish cuisine is intensely regional: Catalonia has its avant-garde culinary movement, the Basque Country its pintxo bars and celebrated fine dining, Andalusia its deep-fried fish and gazpacho, and each region guards its own protected products and wine appellations with fierce pride.
