Garage Beer Co is a Barcelona-based craft beer brewery and bar.

Searching for a place to slow down and breathe in the bustling centre of Barcelona may be challenging, but Bar Cugat provides a solution: a timeless bar situated in Eixample, with an elegant yet low-key atmosphere. While originally stopping in for a quick coffee, we found ourselves returning an hour later for a wonderful dinner. The clean yet eclectic interior (with an Art Nouveau poster to boot) is a great place to dine, any day of the week. Recommendations: classic tapas + vermut.

This small bookshop specializing in artists publications is located since this summer in the Raval neighbourhood. They have a very meticulous selection of publications made or conceived by artists (not publications about art). I've discovered there small presses, publications and artists that I really love.
