Pepa Bar a Vins
Wine Bar / Tapas · Eixample, Barcelona · €€
A former bookshop on Aribau transformed into one of Eixample's most reliable wine bars — shelves of bottles where paperbacks once lived, colorful tiles, exposed brick, vermouth on tap, and 140 references leaning hard into organic and natural.
The Delekta Review
Pepa Bar a Vins occupies a former bookshop on Aribau, and the bones are all still there — shelves lined with bottles, colorful tiles underfoot, exposed brick, reading lamps over the front tables — none of it staged. The staff are deep on wine and on vermouth, with 140 bottles spanning Catalonia, Spain, the Czech Republic, Italy, France, Australia, and Chile. Vermouth on tap; the list leans hard into organic and natural. The food matches: locally sourced, classically nodding, and genuinely surprising in places. Mussels with vermouth and orange are the kind of dish you order twice. The duck magret comes sliced paper-thin. Hand-cut house-fried chips are the bar snack this stretch of Eixample deserves. Pistachio tiramisu and a brioche with chocolate, raspberry, and meringue close things in style. Sit near the open kitchen at the back. Reserve; the room is small.
