Bar Brutal is a natural-wine hotspot in El Born (a trendy and creative neighborhood) known for its curated global cuvĂ©es and a modern tapas menu. There youâll find a wide range of natural wines from Spain, France, Italy, Georgia, Germany, Slovenia, Austria, and often some special vintages.
This bar has a vibrant, art-driven energy, perfectly aligned with its focus on natural, biodynamic wines. Itâs connected to Can Cisa, a wine shop adjacent to the bar that showcases hundreds of bottles wrapped in a cellar-like ambiance.
MĂłn VĂnic
Location: L'Eixample
Nearest metro station: Passeig de GrĂ cia
If wine had a five-star hotel, itâd be MĂłn VĂnic. More elegant and refined, MĂłn VĂnic offers an extensive and sophisticated by-the-glass wine list, often including rare, back-vintage bottles, paired with an impressive artisanal cheese selection. The atmosphere here is quiet and minimalistic, and the service is very customer-focused.
LâAnima del Vi

Nearest metro station: Jaume I
A hidden gem beloved by natural-wine lovers, LâAnima del Vi brings old-school French wine-bar charm and real authenticity to Barcelona. They purchase French and Spanish wine directly from producers, and it truly feels like youâre letting into someoneâs secret stash. Inside, itâs all wooden bar and brick, lit low, with wine cards handwritten, perfect for a slow conversation after sightseeing.
Bar Salvatge
Location: Vila de GrĂ cia
Nearest metro station: Fontana
In the bohemian GrĂ cia district, Bar Salvatge is a pioneer in natural wines on tap, often pouring straight from kegs or bag-in-box, with glass prices starting around 2.80âŹ. The staff often let you sample, which is perfect for a curious traveler who knows a bit but still wants to be mind-blown. Although the wine is the star, the food at Bar Salvatge holds its own as a thoughtfully curated companion.
The barâs atmosphere exudes a rustic-chic charm that's both approachable and expressive. Come here to taste funny, funky Catalan bottles that probably arenât on your radar yet.
Bar del Pla
Location: Ciutat Vella
Nearest metro station: Jaume I
A little more food-centric, Bar del Pla is a cozy, personable gem near Picasso Museum in El Born. This bar blends inventive tapas with a curated local wine selection that prioritizes natural wines. Bar Del Pla stakes its claim with market-driven, seasonal cuisine that honors traditional Catalan flavors while adding inventive flair. The space is unpretentious yet buzzing with energy, with a relaxed vibe, and the staff is very friendly and attentive.
PetNat
Location: El Born
Nearest metro station: Barceloneta
While less frequently spotlighted, PetNat still garners attention among wine enthusiasts.

This spot is small and casual, and stays just rebellious enough. The food is also great.
FAQs about wine bars in Barcelona
Do I need reservations?
It depends. In more popular places like MonvĂnic and La Vinya del Senyor, itâs a good idea to make a reservation, especially for evening tastings. But more casual spots often serve walk-ins well, and some (like PetNat) donât accept reservations.
Are these bars touristy?
A bit, especially La Vinya del Senyor and Bar del Pla. The crowds are a mix of locals and travellers, which is exactly why theyâre so atmospheric.
How much does a glass cost?
Youâll range from 3-8⏠for simpler pours, up to 15-20⏠for premium or rare finds, still much cheaper than top international wine bars.
Are the wines mostly local/Catalan?
Yes. These spots celebrate Catalan and Spanish producers, often the lesser-known, off-grid ones.
