Heartwarming place. The sandwiches were amazing and the cava selection is very good, their house cava is sweet, prices are good. A local approached me and told me to be careful with my phone, there are lots of pickpockets. I asked what he would recommend and he, very happily, told me that he and his wife come here since 40 years ago, every Sunday, as this is their Sunday's routine, and always eat the same, together with one bottle of cava. This is the best proof of quality. Amazing place, menu is in catalan, I am native Spanish speaker so it wasn't difficult for me but the ar staff is happy to help translate. Not a tourist trap and great value for your money. Just be prepared to stand up, very few seats that usually are taken, the place is usually busy. 5 stars is too little, this place deserves a Michelin star!

Loud, crowded and wonderfully chaotic: The Xampanyeria is the most famous champagne bar and my favorite place in Barcelona. This bar is not for well-heeled champagne drinkers, not for people with claustrophobia and certainly not for unsociable types. This is a bar to stop for - after a long day's work, hectic sightseeing in the old town or to give the sun-stricken skin a little rest after the beach day. And it is a place to stay. A place for the overwhelming craving for a bocadillo with Spanish ham, cheese or chorizo. Or olives and good salami. And for a glass or bottle of cava. It is a bar for all those who have no problem standing tightly and for everyone who likes to let the time be the time. A bar for unexpected acquaintances, a place to end the evening or to let the night really start.

After seeing the videos on social media we had to go try this place. It was quite busy but we managed to get a spot at the front counter. 2 things to be aware of... they only serve tapas and cava. If you want anything else to drink you won't find it. There is no seating, it's a standing tapas bar. Now the food... we tried the artichokes and sardines. I was skeptical about the deadlines but man they were delicious. For my 8 year old we got a burger which she loved. My wife had the chorizo roll (we added cheese) and it was so good. I had the beef, camembert and pepper roll and this was out of this world. My wife had a taste of it and made me give her half. This place is a must visit if in Barcelona. Also the prices are amazing, best bang for buck I have had in a while.

Cavas were inexpensive and good. We tried a few different types, and I thought the cheaper ones were too sweet, but they seemed quite popular with the clientele. I much preferred the more expensive ones (Reserve Especial and Brut Rose), which for me personally were still quite inexpensive. You can purchase bottles, so we ended up purchasing two bottles of the Reserve Especial to take back with us. Didn’t get tapas but they looked tasty. They give you a number to track your bill and you pay at the end. Order at the bar whenever you want. Just a fair warning, there are very few places to sit, seems like most people were standing. Also the bathroom is extremely small and cramped. Overall we had a nice time, would return.

We returned to this place after a first experience. The food is good, they serve very simple dishes, like grilled sausages etc, so nothing too complicated to make it taste good. However, the all place is a total trash, very dirty, I really don’t think this place is worth a visit, you can find the same food in hundreds of other places, as tasty as this (if not more), in pleasant environments. We were basically given a spot next to the dishwasher guy, we were getting food served while at 10cm someone was washing the dishes (and his face and head)… Btw, they are famous for their cava. In my opinion the cava is very average, however, they sell it for very cheap, so not too bad for what you pay.

Amazing local Cava and Sandwich place! This place is worth waiting as it is one of the oldest and most original bars in Barcelona. Everything served is very local and cool thing about this place is amazing Cava (champagne) for affordable prices! All the prices are affordable, the place is very local but still a lot of tourist. The place has self service, so don’t expect staff bringing you food and drinks for your table. The menu offers big variety of tapas, cheese is amazing, sausage was great! We recommend you to try different sandwiches, take bottle of cava and enjoy the dynamic atmosphere! This place is worth visiting because of its tradition and authenticity!
