best vegan place in Barcelona - Edit
the place is cute as hell. All the beers are vegan. The food is absolutely fantastic. I wanted to go here again but I didnt have time.
Read moreThe burgers are delicious!! I also ordered hummus which came with bread and carrot sticks. A good size to share for 2, maybe 3.
The atmosphere was geat, the food was great. Cant fault it.
Only thing is the door says they dont open till 6:30 but website says 7pm? Got there at 7 just to make sure I didnt wait around so I cant say which time is right.
Pros: amazing food, great atmosphere, customer service is great
Cons: doesnt open earlier enough

the best! - Edit
My favourite! I've been going to cat bar everytime i'm in Barcelona for the last few years.
Read moreWide selection of vegan burgers and beer, perfect for taking my veggie boyfriend!
I don't eat burgers or beer, but the wine (organic) is great and very cheap and they have a daily plat de jour which is always gluten free and comes with a big tasty salad. The hummus and carrot sticks is also delicious.
Ron the owner is fab! very friendly and welcoming, and always full of recommendations. The atmosphere is great here and especially good if you like cats!

I visited here last week with my Husband who is quite new to the whole Veg/Vegan thing and we both loved it.
Read moreThey have a simple but delicious burger menu and good size portions... I wish I could of had one of everything. We split a Black Cat and a Champion so we could try two along with some patatas and loved every bite.
Lovely people, lovely food easy to find if you check your maps before you head out. Really recommended.
Pros: Excellent food, Excellent value, Lovely staff

Nice atmosphere at night - Edit
Best place for those who want to enjoy a beer and burger. They let you taste their different kinds of beers if you want before ordering any. Loved their black cat burger. A bit small and can be a bit crowded

Local craft beer, great burger - Edit
I was recommended a local pale ale and had their mexican burger, which I have to say was the best veggie burger I've ever eaten, and I've tried a few! Relaxed atmosphere, great staff.

Good Beer, Awesome Food. - Edit
We've been to CatBar before for a few drinks, but have never eaten there; decided to on this visit to Barcelona and incredibly happy to have done.
Read moreMenu is pretty simple, but has a good selection, well priced and the food itself is incredible. We had burgers and bravas and it was all SO good. The caramlised onions on the Black Cat may be the best thing I have ever eaten. Couldn't move afterwards.
Staff are super friendly too.

Worth the search - Edit
Spend some timing finding the restaurant (map reading is not my strongest point) but when we did it wasn't a let down. Great selections of craft beers, and good choice in burgers. We both found them really tasty, and ordered a side of patatas bravas with it. Each. Should've shared, cause we were absoluty stuffed afterwards :)
Read moreWill definitely return to this place!
Pros: Great beer selection, Great food for good price
Cons: Hard to find

CatBar - Edit
A small, cosy restaurant/bar. The range of meals on offer is quite limited (about eight choices) but what I had there was good (ample portions, tasty and filling). I had the hemp burger which, at the time (July 2015), was listed as "new and being tested".
Read moreStaff were very friendly. The place is quite small, so you might have to queue but they do have room upstairs to relieve the bottleneck.
Well-stocked bar with plenty of beers and spirits.
Pros: Nice atmosphere, Good food, Good location
Cons: Limited menu

cool name, good beer, food ok - Edit
Good potatoes with salsa, although not spicy enough for me.
Read moreBurger patty ok, however (cowever).. there was too too too much bread and not enough burger and spice. Did I mention the potatoes were ok.
Worth checking out if you are in the area.
Pros: potatoes and beer, beer, burger patty
Cons: too much bread.. cannot find the burger, not spicey enough

Great little veggie place in a nice neighbourhood - Edit
CatBar is a cool veggie restaurant/bar in El Born, a very nice part of Barcelona. They had a good selection of options to meet any dietary requirement. The staff were quite nice and the interior looked very cool.
Read moreFood itself was decent but nothing worth shouting about. I had read a blog post raving about CatBar and so perhaps I was expecting too much. A nice place but don't put it on top of your to-do list.
Seems like it is a great place if you're a vegan beer drinker, which I'm not!
Pros: Beer selection, Nice atmosphere, Big portions
Cons: Disappointing burger, Adequate service

Excellent burgers - Edit
Lovely burgers, even satisfied my omni bf! We had the hummus bread and carrot sticks for a starter which was big enough to share between the 4 of us (2 adults 2 kids)
Read moreI had the black cat burger which was quite sweet when you add all the caramelised onion relish they give you, Mexican burger was nice and spicy and according to my 10yr old the Champion burger is truly Champion.
Lovely atmosphere in here, we went yesterday and there was someone playing the piano and someone on guitar, visited a bit later this evening and it was much busier but still lovely.
The staff are super friendly And didn't mind our awful attempts at Spanish. Totally recommend this bar.
Pros: Totally vegan, Lots of beer!
Cons: No credit cards accepted

Disappointing. - Edit
I was excited to come here but I have to admit that I was disappointed by the food. I had a selection of tapas (hummus with carrots, gazpacho, patatas bravas with a basil and tomato sauce, and salad), my BF had the 'Crazy Burger'. Honestly I only enjoyed the potatoes. The rest was very mediocre and bland. Vegan food can be much better than this. Disappointing.
Read moreAlso, we were charged for a bottle of water that we never received. We didn't bother saying anything since the server was clearly overwhelmed - only 2 people seemed to be working that night, one in the bar and the other in the kitchen.

Cons: average food, ok service
CatBarCat
We are surprised that you were excited about visiting the CatBar vegan beer and burger bar, but didn't try 1 of our 8 craft beers on tap, or 1 of the many local beers in bottles, or even a CatBar burger?
Read moreNo mention of the Cat theme? or the Jazz pianist? or the value of a vegan burger, hummus, potatoes and salad, enough for 2, for 12€?
The potatoes (bravas), double deep fried, are the best in town, apparently, so i've been told, I don't trust non-vegan places so have not tried many others myself.
The other side dishes (hummus, soup and salad (roughage)) and the GF(staff) plate vary each day according to the nationality and taste buds of that days cook, but there's never enough garlic in the hummus for a Brit...
Your water, did you leave it on the bar, did the bartender say it would be bought to your table and forget, why didn't you say anything, the bar staff never bite, we keep the scary staff in the kitchen until at least 11:30 pm, except for their cigarette/vodka breaks..
Also at meals times (between 8:30 and 11:00pm) there are always 4 or 5 staff, (3 or 4 before), always 2 in the kitchen.
RECOMMENDATION:- After a CatBar night (homemade "junk food" vegan burger and chips with lots of beers and live music (grab 1 of our 7 guitars after 11, or the piano before), we recommend recovering at the Blue Project Raw Organic Vegan cafe in the next street "Raw before 4pm, party till 4am"..
And the rumour that Morrissey will be eating here before his gig on Wednesday is just a rumour...

good burgers and drinks - Edit
The burgers here are tasty. Maybe not the healthiest but not too bad. The fries were very greasy though. When you enter the bar you fill out a menu with what you want...which burger and sides, as well as drinks. There was some miscommunication and they didn't see that we had filled out the food side of the menu so we waited a while but otherwise service seemed to be quick. The location is good and hey have a nice selection of beer.

Great selection behind the bar - Edit
CatBar has a great selection of local craft beers, with tasters available. Lovely staff and delicious food in generous portions. Nice busy atmosphere and great location. Look out for the live music! Had we not been previously completely bowled over by Pili Pile, this place would definately have had 5 stars!

They were closed for holiday :( - Edit
I tried Cat Bar twice on my visit to Barcelona. Both times, closed. It was end of Dec 2014/start of Jan 2015 when I was there so perhaps they were just closed long-term for the holidays?? I was so disappointed but I'll go back next time I'm in Europe. Even though I've not gotten the pleasure of eating there, rating a 5 sheerly based on theme :)

Love cat bar - Edit
I have visited this place in the end of november and absolutely love it! Catty interiors, very nice and helpful staff. I've eaten only patatas bravas as I wasnt hungry, delicious tho. If I stayed longer in Barcelona I'd definitely visit this place again.The only thing...not everyone (including me) is a burger fan, and would be great if place could offer any option, not only burgers.
Read morePros: Interiors, Friendly staff, Good vibe
Cons: Lack of choice on the menu

Slightly chaotic, but fun and friendly - Edit
The portions of food on offer are huge, the quality and range of beer on offer is excellent - there is a choice of around 9 taps available. We tried, for example, a spiced pumpkin ale, which was excellent if a little strong for a session beer. Ironically the Spanish speaking staff here knew less about what food was available than the English speaking - so might be seen as a little chaotic but not in a bad way as the staff were always helpful and friendly. It is very close to Jaume I metro station, so easy to get too as well.

Best burgers, run by an English guy - Edit
I love cats and good vegan burgers so I was quite excited to try the Cat Bar. The burgers lived up the hype, they were delicious. The veganaise was particularly good, my non-vegan partner was very impressed. He also loved the tasting platter of craft beers. It's run by an English guy, so obviously English is spoken there meaning it's great for travellers. The atmosphere was great, quite full but not too crowded, the only thing that could have made it better would have been some actual cats roaming around :)
