The first thing to say is that Monopol really isn’t like anywhere else, and it’s nigh-on impossible to fit it into a category!<\/p>\n

It’s a café, a cantine, a tapas bar and a bar full stop, a venue for swing dancing and a place to watch a football match. Well, it’s certainly varied!<\/p>\n

Monopol, an unexpected location in the heart of Poblenou<\/h2>\n

An authentic, 100% Catalan venue<\/h3>\n

\nA former local football clubhouse, Monopol is a very different location. You can almost feel the history of the place, and you can certainly see it from all of the sporting trophies exhibited on the shelves.<\/p>\n

Now open to all, it’s kept its original charm. Nothing too sophisticated, though! The friendly Monopol team have made the café into a friendly hideaway where you can immerse yourself in simple, no-frills, authentic local life.<\/p>\n

A warm, friendly venue<\/h3>\n

\nMonopol is housed in a former house, and you can tell: behind the big dining area is a small kitchen, which you pass through on the way to the courtyard.<\/p>\n

There are loaves of bread on the counter waiting to be cut, pots of flowers, a vegetable garden, and even a nap corner for the most laid-back visitors. Everything you might need to feel right at home!\n<\/p>\n

Self-service at Monopol<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
