I love Gracia and all its variety of options but there is something that happens if you go there without a plan: you will be walking around for 30 minutes trying to find a spot outside or just deciding on which bar to choose. In cases like this, I always end up at Chatelet.
You can spot its colorful decor from the outside. It has two big glass walls but it does not make it feel less warm or cozy. The drink menu is very rich, including basic choices like beer or wine and also a large variety of cocktails. The food menu is pretty good too. My favorites are the nachos, but there are always sandwiches and other options, in case you are looking for a light meal.
It is not a quiet place, the music is usually loud and the people also, but it fits perfectly with the atmosphere of the place.
