My pals and I got completely astonished when we got into this surrealist bar. Ready to feel like a leprechaun drinking from a mushroom?? More

A friend who lived in Barcelona 10 years ago told me to look this place up and i'm glad we did. The bar itself has a fairytale theme and it's like there is a forest setting and stuff inside the bar! It looks really cool! The prices were amongst the lowest/most reasonable we saw during our visit and the bar... More

I spent now 1 month in Barcelona and this is one of the most fun places I have seen. Nice interior and reasonable prices lets you forget abot the world outside. Especially the fairytail setting makes this place stand out among other bars... More

Super expensive, very very very very very busy... It is very quirky, but I had been there before already, and my partner really did not think much of it because it was dark and absolutely packed to the hilt, mostly because it was heavily raining outside... Not the best experience. More

This bar is a must-see if you're in the area - there's nowhere in Barcelona quite like it. The forest decor is atmospheric, the drinks are about the same price as most in the area, and there is a selection of tapas available. My husband and I stayed for a few beers and an empanada and enjoyed looking around. It... More

It was a fun discovery to find a magical forest in Barcelona! El Bosc is hard to find from the outside, but inside you'll be amazed by the odd glittering interior with dark little corners, water falls and elves. The bar serves tasty mojito's and mostly attracts backpackers. More

It's a place that you must at least spend 15 - 30 if you happen to be in Barcelona. It has big Papier-mâché trees, branches and leaves hanging and covering the ceilings of the place. Some ring like tables hanging the tree trunks and the dimly light hanging on the branches. Drinks are basically the same from what I reduce... More

Really nice idea and atmosphere but pricy and very tourist-infested. Lots of people came in, took a picture and went back out. Very small place. Not sure I can recommend it. More

This bar was amazing ! I visited it at night, which added even more to its charms and mystery. Anyone interested in fantasy and legends should go: old trees, a fountain, fairies... It is like stepping in the Other World ! It also has a room decorated in a sort of 19th century style that is also very pretty. More
