The city is your film set, and you&#8217;re ready to star in your own night out. Obviously, wherever you&#8217;re going needs to be up to standard:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>comfortable seating<\/li>\n<li>the right soundtrack<\/li>\n<li>somewhere to put your drinks<\/li>\n<li>good company<\/li>\n<li>a great location.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nNot so easy, huh? Maybe life would be easier on the other side of the screen, watching from a comfortable cinema seat or, better still, your own sofa. Ok. Well. Overstretched metaphors aside, there&#8217;s no need to choose between your love of cinema and your craving for an evening out in a great bar!<\/p>\n<p>Read on for our list of film and TV-inspired bars, where you can enjoy drinks &#8220;on location&#8221; and make like a star!<\/p>\n<p><em>Lights, camera, and&#8230; action!<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<h2>The opening scene: Pub Fiction, a Tarantino classic<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10003 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/12\/Pub-Fiction-1.jpg\" alt=\"best bars pub fiction\" width=\"1200\" height=\"681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barcelona-top-travel-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/12\/Pub-Fiction-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/barcelona-top-travel-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/12\/Pub-Fiction-1-730x414.jpg 730w, https:\/\/barcelona-top-travel-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/12\/Pub-Fiction-1-256x145.jpg 256w, https:\/\/barcelona-top-travel-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/12\/Pub-Fiction-1-512x290.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Pub Fiction requires no explanation: obviously, the name refers to Tarantino&#8217;s cult classic <em>Pulp Fiction<\/em>, the inspiration behind this original and quirky bar.<\/p>\n<p>Uma Thurman is everywhere: on posters, in caricatures, in the screensaver of a 1990s Mac on the bar. She&#8217;s watching you!<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a true fan, you probably don&#8217;t need us to convince you to visit &#8211; but the real attraction of Pub Fiction is the amazing drinks menu.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"is-style-checklist\">\n<li>Bargain alert: here, &euro;12 will get you not one, not two, but three mojitos &#8211; and they&#8217;re pretty great ones, too!<\/li>\n<li>Add in pineapple, watermelon or even fresh strawberries, and your tastebuds will be dancing like Mia and Vincent in no time at all.<\/li>\n<li>On match nights, the bar is a favourite destination for football fans, who you&#8217;ll find glued to the big screen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"is-style-badlist\">\n<li>Pub Fiction can feel rather empty on weeknights &#8211; although that means you&#8217;re sure to get a seat and the barman&#8217;s full attention.

That said, it clearly deserves its place here: the 80&#8217;s and 90&#8217;s theme in the bar is essentially based on film culture. You&#8217;ll spot references to ET, Indiana Jones, the Karate Kid and more &#8211; there&#8217;s something for everyone!<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s more to the Polaroid than the d&eacute;cor, too &#8211; twice a week, the bar turns into a cinema!
