Greats beers, tasty grub, live football and sports on TV, friendly faces, English-speaking staff and even the odd dartboard - it's not a secret formula but you can see why British and Irish pubs are popular the world over. And that great bastion of civilized society that is the Irish pub can be found in plentiful numbers in Barcelona - so if you're tired of drinking beer from a teeny Spanish glasses and hanker for a pint of Guinness, ale or a premium lager then you're in the right city. Indeed many of Barcelona's Irish pubs are actually rather nicer than the ones back on the Emerald Isle, with sun-kissed terraces on romantic plazas complementing beautifully decked-out interiors. Ok, some are more your typical dark and dingy dens of inequity, but even these are brimming with character - and characters! Right enough talk... it's your round.
Below you'll find a selection of some of the best British/English, Australian and Irish bars in Barcelona; or else go to our drink section and search by 'pub'.
British & Irish Pubs in Barcelona
P. Flaherty's Irish Pub
Easily one of Barcelona's best Irish bars, Paddy Flaherty's ticks every box on the road to pub perfection. A great variety of booze on tap, such as Guinness, Kilkenny and Hoegaarden, an extensive menu of superior snacks and hearty meals, six screens showing every sporting event you can think of, a pool table, and even its own little plaza at the bottom of Las Ramblas - where you can drink in the sun along with your cerveza! Deservedly popular.

The Black Horse
It may be English, but you can still have an Irish cider and enjoy the game. Frequented by locals as well as ex-pats, esp. during Barcelona FC matches, the Horse's coup de grace is undoubtedly the street terrace.
C/Allada Vermell 16
Kennedy's Sailing Club
A rather posh Irish pub on the Port Olimpic, Kennedy's is a good place to relax by the sea and warm up for a big party later at night. More whiskeys than you can get through in a weekend... was that a challenge?
Moll Mestral 26-28
Flann O'Brien
An Irish pub with a real local feel up in Eixample, Flann O'Brien's is well off the beaten track and a good option for anyone who wants the comforts of home without the cretins they tried to leave behind.
C/Casanova 264
Hogan's Bar
An Australian pub right on Las Ramblas, Hogan's is a magnet for British stag groups and badly behaved Aussies. Points for the lifesize crocodile and shark head busting out of the wall.
