From the Table to the Sea: Four Barcelona Beach Bars to Extend Your Afternoon in Poblenou
After lunch at Més de Vi, the day does not have to end when you leave the restaurant. In summer, a short walk to Bogatell Beach is all it takes to discover some of the best beach bars in Barcelona, where you can enjoy a drink, order something refreshing and let the afternoon unfold by the sea. Here are our suggestions for making the most of your time in Poblenou.
From the Restaurant to Poblenou’s Beach Bars
One of the advantages of dining at Més de Vi is how close we are to the beach. From the restaurant, a pleasant walk towards Bogatell takes you from the table to the Mediterranean, with several great places to stop along the way.
Poblenou’s beach bars offer very different experiences. Some are perfect if you are looking for music and a lively atmosphere, while others are better suited to enjoying a quiet drink by the sea. Rather than choosing “the best” one, the idea is to find the place that best matches the kind of afternoon you want to enjoy.
Barcelona Beach Bars to Keep the Afternoon Going
Among Barcelona’s beach bars, Poblenou offers a varied selection. Some venues focus on music and atmosphere, others invite you to relax by the sea, and one, although not directly on the beach, deserves a place on this list thanks to its location and spacious terrace. Each offers a different way to make the most of a summer afternoon.
Vai Moana
If you are looking for a lively atmosphere by the sea, Vai Moana is one of the best-known spots on Bogatell Beach. Its cocktail menu, music and Mediterranean views make it easy to extend your afternoon without leaving the beachfront. It is one of those Barcelona beach bars where an afternoon effortlessly turns into a summer evening.
Random Chiringuito
Random perfectly captures the relaxed atmosphere of the beach bars in Poblenou. Its laid-back décor, extensive drinks menu and opening hours—from early morning until 1 am—make it a great choice at almost any time of day. Whether you fancy a mojito, a glass of wine or simply watching life along the seafront, it is always a good option.
Garage Beer Co. Poblenou
Although it is not one of Barcelona’s beach bars, Garage Beer Co. deserves a place in this selection. Located just a short walk from the seafront, its brewery, taproom and spacious terrace offer an excellent alternative for anyone who prefers a craft IPA, a refreshing lager or the chance to discover new beers in a relaxed setting. It is a great way to keep the afternoon going after lunch.
Guingueta Bo Kaap
Among the beach bars on Bogatell Beach, Bo Kaap stands out thanks to its relaxed atmosphere and privileged location overlooking the Mediterranean. It is the perfect place to finish your walk with a cocktail, an ice-cold beer or a light snack while watching the sun begin to set. Its proximity to Més de Vi also makes it an easy continuation of your lunch plans.
Lunch at Més de Vi, Then a Walk to the Sea
The best part of this plan is its simplicity. There is no need to cross the city or organise anything complicated. Start with lunch at Més de Vi, stroll towards Bogatell Beach and decide as you go whether you fancy a cocktail, a craft beer or simply a seat overlooking the Mediterranean.
This combination lets you experience Poblenou from two different perspectives: first around the table and then by the sea. If you are planning a summer day in Barcelona, book your table at Més de Vi and let the afternoon continue at some of the city’s best beach bars.
