Belgian craft beer brewed right in Sant Antoni
If you're tired of the same old Estrella Damm and want to see what Barcelona's craft beer scene is really about, Barna Brew is your spot. Founded by a couple of Belgians who fell for both Belgian beer and Barcelona, this brewpub on Carrer del Parlament has been turning out Belgian-style beers with a local twist since 2017. The space is split into two: the brewery where the magic happens, and the bar where you get to taste it all. There's something satisfying about drinking a beer knowing it was brewed just behind that wall.
The beer lineup rotates but you can expect solid takes on Belgian classics — tripels, saisons, blondes — all brewed with a modern, local sensibility. They've won awards for a reason. The food side shouldn't be overlooked either; the tapas and small plates are genuinely good, not just an afterthought to soak up the alcohol. Reviewers consistently praise the quality of both the beer and the food, which isn't always a given at brewpubs.
The atmosphere is cozy and unpretentious, with a mix of locals and beer-curious travelers. It can get busy on weekend evenings since Sant Antoni has become one of Barcelona's hottest neighborhoods, so if you want a relaxed experience, aim for a weekday visit or show up early. The staff know their beer and are happy to guide you through the lineup if you're not sure where to start. At 4.5 stars across hundreds of reviews, this is one of those places that earns its reputation.
