Best vegan burger I have had - Edit
I have been to CatBar several times now, they have great beers, the gluten free one tastes amazing. I have tried three of their burgers but my absolute favourite is the Hemp Burger, it is the best burger I have ever tasted. It is also a nice cozy little place and you can bring your animals in :) Very good
Read morePros: Delicious food, Very nice beers, Good ambience
Cons: The place is a bit small but you usually get good

Nicht besonders lecker - Edit
Ist eine ganz nette Bar die mehrere Burger zur Auswahl hat ( ich glaube es waren 5), Salat ( nur einen Salat) und angebratene oder Frittierte Kartoffeln. Burger sah gut aus und die ersten noch warmen bissen waren auch ok. Das pattie hat nicht gut geschmeckt. Der Salat war für mich eine Katastrophe.. Angemacht mit Olivenöl und das wars und oben drauf ein Klecks dipp. Die Kartoffeln waren wirklich lecker. Veganes essen haben die Spanier oder katalanier einfach nicht drauf.

Der Salat wurde nun aus dem Menü entfernt worden.

Best burgers in Barcelona - Edit
Delicious variety of vegan burgers and great beers. Quite a unique, quirky place but great food and drink.
Read moreIt is worth bearing in mind they have no air conditioning! It can get pretty hot in there. I had to take a couple of minutes to stand outside and cool down, but it was worth it for the food!
Pros: Best burgers in Barcelona, Great beers, Friendly staff
Cons: No air conditioning

awesome! - Edit
We went "early" for Spain time and I'm glad we did as there was a line when we left! Two of us split Black cat burger and Mexican burger. Both delish and had great potatoes on the side. Hummus for an app and chocolate cake at the end. And the beer!!! OMG! Sampled many options at the bar and picked the yummy "Weird" beer. This was honestly my best meal in Spain. Great atmosphere, great food, happy staff and very friendly owner. I will go back! Repeatedly!!
Read morePros: all vegan menu with a daily special , offered samples to pick our favorite vegan beer, clean restroom, kind staff, happy people, great ar

fried - Edit
Nice place, music and friendly staff but foot is not we expected. Burgers are too oily. The place smells at fried oil.

We are a vegan burger and beer bar, the burgers are cooked on a hot plate, the sauces contain sunflower oil and the potatoes are double deep fried. We are not a health food place, but probable healthier than non-vegan burgers. The wheat free plate could often be classed as healthy.
Read moreAll the staff speak English and Spanish, and half the serving staff speak Catalan. There is usually one catalan speaker working each evening.

Tasty burgers and beer - Edit
This isn't the place to visit if you want an al a carte dining experience but it is the place to come to if you fancy a great vegan burger with a super selection of Catalan beers to wash it down in a relaxed non pretentious bar in a great accessible area of Barcelona. I ordered the black bean burger which was very tasty and filing, only minor prob was that I asked for some adaptions to be made to the toppings which the chef didn't accommodate.

Craft Ales and Vegan Pub Grub - Edit
During 3 visits to Barcelona in late December to celebate the beginning of another 365 days of animal free food consumption, the Cat Bar has unfortunately not been open due to annual holidays. Fair play, why would you want to work at new year anyway? However, on a 4th visit in April 2014 it was business as usual. As the name suggests, it's a bar, and there is a slight cat theme going. Cool and funky, great lighting and a fantastic selection of local beers at fair prices (€2.50 - €3 a glass). I would say food is very much secondary to the beer here but it's tasty and if you want a good value tasty vegan burger made with animal-free passion or 'fish' & chips then the Cat Bar is the place to go. There is a comfortable raised seating area overlooking the main bar area where you can chill for hours whilst enjoying the free wifi and the beer of course. This place reminds me of a great dirty vegetarian bar in Cologne called Trash Chic. Hopefully, someone reading this may relate to both and appreciate the comparison. Cat bar is fairly quiet during the day but comes alive at night. We even bought the bag to take home and show off our shopping in. Plenty of colours to choose from.
Read morePros: great beers, good burgers, nice location

REALLY GOOD BURGUERS - Edit
Dark and no to much cozy bar with no extremely friendly staff, but the food, if not has a wide selection, is really good, especially the burgers, all of them was excellent.
Read moreWe don't drink beer, but they has a large selection of catalan craft beers and some import beers like the famous brew dog.
The worst is the opening hours, because they don't open till 6:30pm
Pros: Tasty Food
Cons: Opening hours, A bit pricey

Hamburguesas Fetén - Edit
8 hamburguesas veganas en su carta, de tofu, legumbres, frutos secos, verduras,picante, con pesto, blablabla. La variedad puede parecer pequeña, pero mejor poco y bien que cartas con 30 páginas y que todo sepa sospechosamente igual.
Read moreLas cervezas, son brewers y además tienen variedades locales. Probad su IPA.
Precio, las hamburguesas creo recordar unos 7€, las cervezas entre 3€ y 5€

Vegan@s, a vivir la vida! - Edit
El lugar es pequeño, cierto. Depende de la hora encontrarás más o menos gente de todas partes. Aun así es cómodo, con mesas grandes y sin chocar con el vecino.
Read moreLa comida es impresionante. La hamburguesa Black Cat, de frijoles negros, lechuga, veganesa, tomate y cebolla caramelizada es lo MEJOR que he probado. Las bravas también están exquisitas, se nota que no son congeladas y la salsa picante es de vicio.
Tienen una amplia gama de cervezas veganas para elegir, además de la bebida habitual, claro, también vegana.
Todo esto sale más barato que otras opciones donde no puedes sentarte y charlar.
Como el sitio es pequeño podríamos pensar que hay mucho jaleo, pero no. La gente habla tranquilamente y no necesits subir la voz para que el de delante te escuche.
El trato genial, amable y educado pero también cercano. Imprescindible.
Pros: Vegano 100% , Creatividad , Deliciosa comida

Super filling food to go! - Edit
While you can eat at CatBar, I stopped by recently to get some food to go on the way to a street fair. A massive burger and a side of what seemed to be home-made fries cost about 9€ and left me very intensely full, even with help from a friend. While this is a bit more than I'd like to spend on a meal, it's very unusual for me to finish one feeling so satisfied.
Read moreThe "Mexican" burger I ate was delicious and filled with black beans, which are somewhat unusual in Barcelona. The homefries were enormous and clearly just made from whole potatoes. Also, the location is super central and convenient, on Boira just off of Via Laietana. Highly recommended for its wholesome, filling food.
Pros: location (right off of Laietana), for there or to go, incredibly filling
Cons: the wait for to-go food was a bit long, price is high for me (not objectively)

Pros: amazing food, great atmosphere, customer service is great
Cons: doesnt open earlier enough

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!

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 :)

Pros: Great beer selection, Great food for good price
Cons: Hard to find
