L'Ovella Negra Poblenou Barcelona

Barcelona's biggest pub

Cristòfor from Barcelona

About me I was born in Barcelona in 1991, just one year before my city celebrated the arrival of the memorable Olympic Games. Last year, I graduated from the Universitat de Barcelona (UB), with an English Literature and Linguistics degree, during which I spent half a year doing an Erasmus exchange in Warsaw, Poland, which is where I began learning Polish. I'm currently trying to...
""L'Ovella Negra Poblenou" is the biggest pub in Barcelona! You can play futbolín here and enjoy a jug of sangria for cheap. Great stop before Razzmatazz..."

If you're planning a visit to Razzmatazz you may want to check out L'Ovella negra (The Black Sheep in català). This huge bar is well-known as the biggest pub in Barcelona, with more than 2000m² of space.

The building was originally an industrial warehouse built in 1908. In 1993, a year after the successful Barcelona Olympics, the Ovella Negra opened its doors as the second bar of the same name – the first and original Ovella Negra opened in 1965 in the Raval.

This megataverna has loads of table football 'futbolín' which are free to play from 17:00 to 21:00. They usually project important football matches on their big screens. You may also be lucky enough to catch some gigs as well.

You can enjoy a jug of sangria or a jug of beer for 3.50€, and they also serve a good selection of snacks such as bravas, nachos and burgers.

Because at night it gets very busy and with a vivid ambience, this spot is a great spot to meet up before going partying. So, if you plan on going to Razzmatazz with some friends – it's only two streets away- this bar is probably your best option for a drink, a snack, a laugh, and a game of futbolín. You'll end up going from the biggest tavern in Barcelona to the biggest club in Barcelona.

Interestingly, they also host 'On the Market', a second-hand market event, on the third weekend of every month.
