My go to place for pintxos when in Barcelona. This corner restaurant is so charming and the tapas are delicious! Not to mention their beautiful food presentation. Definitely a place to try. The little warm chocolate filled churros are amazing. Ah, try their sangria and you won't regret. 100% recommend Blai 9 in Barcelona read more

1 EURO TAPAS! This place definitely gets crowded, but we were fortunate enough to have gotten a bar seat within an arms-reach of all the delicious bites. read more

Quick and delicious tapas! Very friendly staff that made us feel welcome from the second we got there. House sangria went down easy and was fairly priced. Overall good experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for a tapas spot. read more

We tried to come here for tapas our first night in Barcelona and it was late so they were only serving drinks. Other tapas bars had food so we went elsewhere. Tonight we arrived early and the tapas was great! They even have vermouth on tap! Most of the items are served in little cups indicating their price and none of them are on bread, but little blinis and crepes. They have the best presentation of any bar on Blai. It filled up quickly and it's one of the harder places to get a spot on the patio. read more

We came here accidently while aiming to go to another place with a similar name. we were instantly attracted to the colorful, attractive presentation of the food. this place prices items by the bowls and not by the number of toothpicks. at the end it felt like we ate a lot of fried food in the shape of an egg roll. the mini pancakes were cute but bland. the flavors were all monotone across the pinchos. I can't remember if I liked anything particular. in the end it was pretty food but not necessarily satisfying. read more

Came in for lunch drawn by what appeared to be an amazing collection of tapas/pinxos. It was an amazing collection. Tasty, different, artisan kinda made. Plus nice staff, nice decor and friendly jazzy music. Great. read more

After walking around Blai street after 4 PM we found Blai 9 to be one of the few open places. This place offers cold pinxos, and they were all just ok, but the servers were very nice and attentive. read more

I really enjoy the concept of a tapas bar where you choose what you want and pay for everything at the end. The food was good and the service really friendly - regardless of my broken Spanish. :) I will definitely be back. read more

Fun and easy food with a great variety. Enjoyable atmosphere and cheerful staff. Conveniently located. read more

A friend suggested this place for tapas so my last day in Barcelona I decided to try it and am I glad I did. I love the atmosphere and the food here. Visually the tapas are very appealing and the flavors are subtle but delicious. Instead of using baguettes they use small little pancakes and the combination of slightly sweet with the savory works. My favorite was the chocolate filled churro with caramel drizzle and orange chocolate shavings.....I had 2. read more

Art meets food. This little hole in the wall tapas bar has managed to make food that delights the eye while sacrificing none of the flavor. The waiter was delightful, kind, and spoke English. Each bite of art was a pairing of flavors I have never experienced before and delicious! They also have AC inside, which is a welcome reprive from the noon day heat. read more

Blai 9 - Lovely and delicious :) - Tapas Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

Best pinchas (tapas) you can get in Poble Sec! pretty good selection, I like the ones with the chorizo on top, and their kitchen runners are always working to backfill the popular items. Dessert was almost too sweet, however the churros are excellent! small place, always crowded, but good hosts and servers, and the Moritz Beers are cold! read more

Blai 9 - Excellent beers and even better tapas! Great prices too! - Tapas Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

My favorite place at Barcelona. The Tapas and pinchos are so delicious and not expensive at all. Staff is so friendly. Ramiro is fantastic, thank you for the nice conversations and great food! read more

Stopped in for our first meal in Barcelona! Tapas and Sangria...delicious! Came with two teenagers and a 10-year-old, there was something for every taste. Wee burgers on a pancake. Patatas Bravas with aioli, Brie and Jam, churros y chocolate. Some of it, we have no idea what it was, but was presented in a beautiful way so the kids would try it. Would definitely recommend and will come again!! read more

Had great tapas here and good beer. Friendly barman helped us as we'd not tried tapas before and were with the kids. Would highly recommend this place. Food and surroundings seem a cut above the other tapas place on Blai. read more

Perfect! First time having pinxos, and I'm glad it was here. Great lively atmosphere with friendly staff. The place is has a good flow of customers eating in and out even in the middle of the day (We came around 3-4pm), while the other pinxos places on the same street were pretty dead. I think that says something if anything. Because of that, fresh pinxos were being refreshed constantly, and of the ones we had, they were so delicious. I recommend the one with salmon and also the eggroll looking one with bacon. Really enjoyed eating here, and although the price was a little higher, 1,70 over the 1,20-1,50 pinxos the other restaurants had on Blai, we think the quality was very good. read more

Really enjoyed the pinchos here. Tried three places on Blai, and this place had unique items that were delicious. Also has a lovely view of the water fountain of you want to watch all the cute dogs come by for a drink. read more

Been here multiple times, never disappoints! Great for an afterwork get together! In the summer it is packed immediately but still in a good way cause it's in a pedestrian street only, so it has great atmosphere and people meet up there but not for too long. So one way or another you always find a spot, unless you're with a big group read more

Cool vibe.nice and creative tapas.very affordable. Perfect evening starter or one of the tapasbars you should try out

A smallish tapas bar, but a very good selection, with good prices and nice casual vibe. Everything I tried was very tasty and staff was very helpful...even to a non Spanish speaking yank. Had a good diverse crowd there as well... read more

A friend who lives in Barcelona brought a group of five of us here to try Pintxos. I would give the food a 4 and the service a 2, so an average score of 3. The server seemed annoyed at the size of our party and wouldn't clear off a table when another large group left so we could sit together. We were hungry and it was late, so we sat divided and tried the Pintxos. They were quite good and only 1 - 2 Euros a piece. We tried another Pintxo place another night and preferred the food here. We enjoyed the food, but the service was really bad. read more

This place came recommended and what a treat it was! We went on a Saturday night and it was packed (full of locals - the first good sign!). It serves pinchos (akin to small tapas). Each plate costs either €1/1.50. They were delicious! There was loads to choose from, both sweet and savoury. Plenty of wine and pinchos later we left with three happy full bellies! read more

I went here because of the reviews. The tapas here are just normal. There is nothing special about them.

A cute, fun, and dare I say hip little place to grab a jug of sangria and some pintxos. Lots of younger clientele there, but there was also a large family that stopped by - so I guess the crowd was pretty mixed. I liked the sangria - it was light with plenty of fruits, and the pintxos themselves were delicious. As someone who's used to the US where they dump cheese in everything, I was really happy that this wasn't the case here. They had mini burrito-like pintxos and shrimp on mini "pancakes". The little churros were amazing because they were filled with warm chocolate on the inside, and had flavored chocolate shavings were a nice treat. Would 100% recommend. read more

Didn't like the quality of tapas at all. Everything was fried and cold. At least I did not fall sick.

Ehh... I really wouldn't recommend eating here unless you have an expansive palette. The sangria was watery and only came by the liter...what's waste of money. If you sit at the bar, expect for people to reach over you all night to get fresh tapas. This is a self serve/ eat what we have tonight type of restaurant. read more

Hit up a bunch of tapas spots on Sunday afternoon down the little street of Blai (which is an absolute must if you want to try lots of tapas fast and on the cheap 1-1,2 € each tapa). Blai 9 does a more modern take on the tapas compared to the other spots on the street (one such entree: a pancake with fried chicken and mustard and ketchup on top). Very good definitely should try so you can compare to the more original styles up and down the street. read more

This is my favorite tapas place in Barcelona. It's located on a pedestrian street of the Ramblas that is not overrun with tourists. A myriad of tapas are on display. Take as little or as much as you want, and your bill will be tallied according to the number of plates on your table. Inexpensive and high quality. Organic wines also served. read more

amazing tapas.. EVEN BETTER vermouth! im writing this review not just cause this place.. it was good but what is really good was this whole street! this street (blai) is known for having 2 euro tapas and 2 euro vermouths.. so def check this out if you wanna go bar hoppping cause some other spots are tourist traps. this street is the real deal read more

Fantastic place amongst a plethora of pintxos bars. The tapas here was amazing and cheap!!! The staff were lovely as well. A top place.

We visited Blai9 on our Tapas tour and loved the incredible works of food art on offer. We could only choose 3 on our tour which was so hard - I wanted to try them all! Highly recommended. read more

This is a great tapas eatery on Blai street. There were multiple options for tapas, although my favorite was crab cake on a biscuit. The tapas ranged from €1 to €1,50 depending on the type you chose. Collect your toothpicks and pay at the end. We had beer and wine, both of which met our fullest expectations. read more

Delicious little restaurant. Reminds me of a sushi bar. Each color of plate represents a different price. Many of the plates for only one year of. We ate five or six each. Got to try a lot of different delicious Tapas. Not super touristy which was nice. read more

Angry and unfriendly service. I seriously don't know why some people get in customer facing businesses. There are many good places nearby. Go somewhere else read more

5 stars for the awesome tasting sangria. Loved that there were fresh fruits and had minimal ice in the 1L jug that we ordered, which I shared with 2 other friends. Cosy and nicely decorated bar. Would definitely recommend it to people staying in this area. read more
