A popular bar on Gracia's most central street with a large selection of Basque-style pintxos and tapas. Recommendation: try the entraña pintxo, the eggplant chips and a glass/bottle of Txacoli (white wine). Gasterea gets very crowded around dinner time and though there is normally some room at the back, you might not be lucky enough to find an bar stool.
