The Gothic Barrio is plenty of great and magical places. All you need to find them is a bit of good luck, some patience, love for walking and some other times the wise advice from a friend, which is my case [ thanks Tuti for recommending this place to me! 
]
Located at George Orwell’s square, also known as Plaza del Tripi, there’s a door you have to cross to get into another universe. From the outside you will think it’s just a common door but I’d say it works like a time and inter-dimensional portal between a crowded and usually noisy open space and a special refuge.
Once you’re in, it’s pretty easy realizing you’re at a very special place; a place where some rules just have changed. Even people’s behavior changes at Oviso Oasis Bar. Let’s say that the 50% of flavors you will taste there are improved with the mood of persons sitting around you. Suddenly someone talk to you, suddenly you’re involved in a sort of role’s game where human interaction rules the rhythm of your night.
Warm colors healing some cold souls, smiles and joy. Open-minded people eating and drinking the same as you, sharing a moment you won’t find at any other place.

Great place – and the guy who works in the morning and often has his shirt off when setting up the place is really cute. Cute staff and great atmosphere.
Oviso’s got good food, but it’s not the place to go for coffee — the coffee is really poor quality.
My favourite hang-out in Barcelona. I am going to Barcelona next week and will head straight to this quirky, bohemian bar. It’s a great place to go people watching as it attracts everyone from drunks to Dukes but all with the seemingly common intent to chill out and relax. It also serves decent, cheap food.
I’m glad you like the place as well. Thank you!
The oviso is just a great pleace to eat, to drink and just to be there. really a place to be in barca
