Perfect place to eat after all the walking around Sagrada Familia. I'd also been in Spain a week and a half and was excited for some food that reminded me of home so I went with the infamous nachos and a glass sangria. The nachos were so so so good!!! Very happy they were worth the hype, and while I got them just for myself they are definitely meant to be shared by more than one person. My cousin ordered a burrito that was also huge and said she loved her food as well. I would have ordered more drinks however it was hard to flag down the server (so ordering a pitcher is probably a better move fyi) and we eventually just went in to pay so we could leave. Even so would definitely come back if in Barcelona again. read more

After getting lost in the beauty of Sagrada Familia, we stumbled into the Chill Bar looking for tapas and sangria. We arrived around 5-6PM, so the entire place was a ghost town. We were promptly greeted by an Irish man, whom I think is the owner, super friendly. The decor is quite interesting. Very chic and hipstery. We opted for a table in the back, dimmed lights makes it super relaxed and intimate. The menu offered a wide variety of food from Iberian ham platters, to Vietnamese spring rolls to Mexican tacos/burritos. We decided to go for a lighter meal, so we ordered a pitcher of sangria, the Iberian Ham platter and a cheese platter. The food came out pretty quickly, as it was empty. The sangria was refreshing, and delicious. It was a bit drier than I usually prefer but it was still great. The ham platter was beautifully presented, it came with four different types of ham. I honestly the owner was a bit more friendly and explained to us the difference in the ones we were eating. Regardless, all the meats were amazing, smokey, and flavorful. Next, again with the cheese plate, there were four different types of cheese, of them I knew the brie & blue cheese, but the other two were mild but I am unsure of the name. It also came serves with a marmalade with mini toasts that were amazing! If I could live in a jar the rest of my life, it would have been with that marmalade. The service was kind of shotty. I felt that since it was empty, we were kind of forgotten. We actually had to just walk to the front to get our check cause we never see the owner again. With all the tapa bars in Barcelona, maybe I'll skip out next time. Happy eatings! read more

Visiting Barcelona from the US and it was very hard to find a decent spot in the area that wasn't so touristy. This spot was actually pretty cool. I wasn't too interested in the food. I was looking for more authentic food but we had the cheese plate, meat, and bread with tomato... all were very good. The cheese plate was excellent. A lot of people raves about the sangria but I wasn't a huge fan. I thought the red wine used could have been a little better. Overall I gave the place a 4 stars because it's just as the title says, a Chill Bar. The Irish bartender was super friendly... other bar goers were just as friendly. I had some great wine there for cheap, the music was chill and the place was cool overall. Great place to stop in for a bite after seeing the Gaudi exhibit. Friendly atmosphere, cheap food, good tapas.. try the nachos .. very good. read more

Great place to stop after touring Sagrada Familia. They have vegan options and everything is high quality. We were a large group of 7 and were able to sit comfortably in the back. All of the food was amazing. The only complaint is my meal (nachos) came out after everyone else had finished eating. That seems to be consistent with the "tapas" style of eating. With so many touristy options in that particular area, it was great to find a place like Chill Bar. read more

Really awesome service and a fun vibe. We got a pitcher of sangria which was perfect with our meal. I ordered the tapa sized meals. Even though they named them tapas, I felt like their serving sizes were huge. I ordered two different tacos and I had a hard time finishing them up. I would suggest that you order just one taco even though they say they are tapa servings because the serving size was huge. My sister ordered a salad which was pretty good. read more

A very reliable neighborhood bistro if you're looking for a light supper and a drink or two. Since I am staying round the corner, it's quite convenient. Just a short walk from the Sagrada Familia, and while it's obviously tourist prices, it's not as appalling as the pubs right across the street from the Cathedral. Service is typical for Barcelona. If you're in a hurry, you're in the wrong country! Sit back, relax and enjoy. I had the chicken tacos which were nice and spicy. I recommend the draft Clara (which is half Heineken and half lemonade - like a shandy). Refreshing and sweet. read more

#1 this place has Terrible service - Very slow and not attentive. #2 the food is sub-par when you finally get it The seating is not comfortable - small indoor space. You feel very crammed in here, it's hot and small stools to sit on. Overall not a good place to CHILL - Instead of wanting to stay to "chill" we couldn't wait to get out of there. If we weren't so hungry and wanting to just get something in our stomachs we would have likely left and went elsewhere before we were brought anything at all. The drinks even took FOREVER and to be seated so long and waiting for drinks (even water) on a hot day is straight up rude. I highly recommend you find somewhere else in the area to spend your time and money. read more

I seriously love this place. We were walking by on the way to sagrada familia not many places were open because it was around 4pm on a Sunday. Then I saw Burritos on the sign out front. The way to my heart. I got the pollo burrito w no cheese. It was easily the best burrito I've ever had. The chicken was so tender and all the veggies and beans inside were perfect. My husband got the nachos and they were WOW, so great. I got a homemade brownie to go. Server was a real nice guy. I'm so glad we happened to stop here. Delicious food and a nice little spot outside. I would eat here everyday if we lived in Barcelona. Must go. Thanks! read more

I ordered a "Mexican firing squad" cocktail and it came in a cute cactus glass with decorations and I have to say that's always half the experience. The presentation.

This restaurant came up in my apple maps search for "healthy food." There are a couple salad options, but mostly burritos and sandwiches. We eat pretty low carb, so I tried to order the Thai salad, but it was unavailable. I got a chicken curry burrito instead and it was really good! My mom and aunt split the nachos, which were also really good. Nice place with fair prices, but not memorable enough to go back. Plus the low-carb options were limited, but hey, we're on vacation! The hummus was really yummy and it's made in house, so get that if you come! read more
