Pivobar Cerveza Checoslovaca — Restaurant in Barcelona

Revised my review, after understanding how the pilsner Urquell is supposed to be served. Still keeping the rating average because of the way the barman treated us.

Mixed feelings about this bar.

The first time I went there, the lady at the bar was friendly and gave me a good beer with a smile. The music was really nice and I tried the crumbed mushrooms, which were good too. I wanted to go again.

I returned a week or two later with someone and found no music. There was a bearded man working at the bar this time and his expression was that of someone who just stepped on his own foot. He filled my beer at least 2cm below the marked volume line on the glass and we in a joking way tried to tell him to top it up, as we are paying for it. At the time I did not know about the different ways of serving it and profess my ignorance. He immediately became rude and aggressive, insulting us in Spanish and saying that this is not England (we aren't British or from anywhere near there, just speak English well).

Service was slow, one person only for the whole bar, serving and cooking, no surprise she was in a bad mood. I would only go back for the beer, as it nos easy to find it Barcelona bars, that being said, I rather walk a bit more and go...

Came here based on the reviews. Bartender was standing outside smoking when I walked to the bar. He came to serve me looking fed. When I asked politely (in Spanish) if he spoke English, he gave me a disgusted look and said ‘no’. That was fine - I tried my best to ask him (in Spanish) what each beer on tap was like: he gave me the most dismissive response and attitude that I felt completely not welcome. Left immediately - there’s enough friendly places in this city that you don’t need to...
