Great place to start the evening with a dinner and beer - Edit
I had the fried cactus with salad and my friend had the tofish with chips and salad. Grilled cactus is definitely interesting and it was my first time trying it. I like that they added jalapeños to it. The tofish was neat, nothing special, but also not bad. Chips were really nice and the salad was excellent: fresh, with a lot of variety, and good seasoning. The best part: the beers! A nice selection of about nine beers, including Berliner Weiße and sours, which usually may contain lactose. No cats in sight, but there was a dog, and the interior design is cool.

Love the British vibes & the quirkiness - Edit
I moved to Spain last summer from the UK, I don't miss it in the slightest but it was funny to eat in a bar in Barcelona with such British vibes! I really wanted to try their to-fish & chips and I wasn't disappointed: it was delicious. Portions are huge too, so it's ideal when you're a bit hungry. They're not exactly quick to serve but it's worth the wait. Nobody played the piano when we've been but I imagine it's quite lively in the evenings.
Read moreBonus: A non-vegan friend ordered the "crazy cat burger" and it said it was delicious, like it converted him. It says a lot about the quality of the food - bring your non-vegan friends there!
Pros: Quirky in a good way, Cat lovers would appreciate the decor, Really good food (even to non-vegans)
Cons: Slow service

Buenas hamburguesas y ambiente - Edit
Las hamburguesas y tapas están bien, aunque no tengan una carta muy variada. Los precios son bastante razonables y el local es acogedor. Recomendable 👍.

Great Food and Great Vide - Edit
The place is not huge, so you should expect to wait during meal times. If, however, you arrive outside of those times, you should have no trouble finding a table. The decor is eclectic and fun, with what appears to be bits and pieces collected over many years.
Read moreThere are not a lot of options on the menu, but what they make is excellent! We had the fish & chips and the red cat burger with patatas bravas. Everything appeared to be made on site and the portions were generous for a reasonable price.
The woman behind the bar was friendly and patient, explaining everything to us in English.
If we lived in Barcelona, this is a place we would visit often.

Amazing vegan burgers - Edit
I tried the Red Cat burger - it was lovely and spicy and the bravas even better. Spoiled for choice of vegan food in Barca but this is one of the best! Lovely friendly staff too and cute quirky cat themed decor.

Filling and really cheap, you have for your money. The lentil steak was a little bit too dry and too salty for me

Delicious and good value - Edit
It's a burger place, but the burgers are interesting rather than just standard beef-style burgers. A lot of the options are bean/nut/tofu based and the salad and potato bravas side portions are decent on size and also tasty!
Read morePros: Atmosphere , Tasty food, Relatively good value
Cons: No actual cats (if that's what you're looking for)

Pub for craft beers and burgers - Edit
For some unknown reason I never wrote a review for one of my favorite vegan bars ever.
Read moreI guess, since there are already so many reviews, I figured, mine wouldn't carry any weight.
I used to live one minute away and would go there frequently in 2012. They were located at a different spot back then (now, of all businesses, there is a döner kebab bar). I liked the old venue more, because it had a first floor (even though it was often closed for guests). Also, back then the portions used to be bigger.
That being said, for me personally the Cat Bar is definitely still a five-star-location. But it's a punk venue - if you don't like that, don't go there, it would only be disappointing. The food is good and decently priced.
The staff is outstandingly friendly, even though for someone not familiar with subcultural settings it might appear they have an attitude sometimes.
Every time I visit Barcelona, I try to grab a bite at the Cat Bar. Been there earlier this month and I'm looking forward to the next time.
The lastest addition: they have postcards now. Very nice idea indeed!

The best - Edit
I loved this place. It was super chill after walking all day. All the beers were priced the same whether it was 1/2 pint 3.5€ or full pint 6€. I got to try all of them without even asking before committing to the full pour. The owner was really nice guy and all the staff I interacted with was super friendly. The back wall had lots of cat decorations and some fotos of the activism they’ve done in the past. They also got some books for reading, a piano for playing (upon approval) and a small formal dining area towards the back of the room. There’s an upstairs as well, but it wasn’t super busy when I was there so I didn’t get to see it.
Read moreEnjoyed the drinks so much I came back the next day just to support and try some of the food. The Tofish burger and bravas slapped. I was really happy with it for sure. Ended up just chatting and listening to all kinds of music they were showing as closing time hit. Felt like a group of friends just catching up. Will definitely be back when in bcn!
Pros: All vegan, Atmosphere, Friendly staff
