Default Holiday - Cheap Drink in Barcelona

Hi,

I am off to Barcelona at the week end to watch the F1 ( no Ash clouds hopefully ! ) and after the racing I am hoping to go out in the evening in Barcelona.
I have heard that some bars offer drinks from 1 Euro up wards !
Does any know where the cheap bars are located.
I am staying not far from centre of Barcelona and Les Rambles.

Many thanks

A mate of mine has just come back from Barcelona. I'll ask him on Weds for you.

Beware the muggers. Barcelona is a fab city, but just be wary of them. My Mum got mugged when we went there together a few years back. As soon as Mum realised what happened, she marched down the road after the lady, and mugged the mugger back!

We didn't find any drinks that cheap or I would have let you know, oh and things don't get busy in the bars until well after 9pm just for your info.

I don't wish to sound negative but with a big event like a GP on, I would imagine most bars will be charging a premium as they have a captive market. Maybe not but that's always been my experience when big events are being held.

Pick pockets are the worse issue there than any other city in Europe. The Cruise ships do not help by un loading lots of tourists every day in the city.
I am cool with mugging, in that if they tried to mug me I will be the one going to a police cell for GBH ! ! lol
I use to do Wing Chun Kung Fu and loved the sparring aspect alot and when I was in Granada I did go out late in the town hoping to bump into muggers ! !! lol

Please note I do not encourage this sort of behaviour !
Unless I am invited along ! ! lol

That is true, even when I booked the hotel which is in the medium season. Just for this weekend the hotels are now in the high season and on Monday go back to medium season ! !

Though there is always some where to drink cheaply !
Over here we have the Weatherspoons bars, so Barcelona will have something similar I hope !


Zirax, hope to hear from you on Wednesday evening. We must get together soon for a drink and a chat ?

I sure hope not You are not going to be able to drink cheaply anywhere near Las Ramblas as that area is tourist central. Your best bet for cheap drink is to find a local bar off the beaten track.

There are a couple of nice local bars here that are only 10 mins walk from Las Ramblas.
