Barcelona's wine bars excel by the glass rather than relying on decor or fame, with 13 standout venues. From Gràcia's small neighbourhood rooms and the lanes of the Born near Santa Maria del Mar, to the Eixample's market kitchens and a dining spot on the Port Olímpic waterfront, each offers something unique. Expect natural Catalan Xarel·lo, an array of sherry, Priorat Garnacha, Burgundy, Champagne, and the occasional Yquem.

And More
Restaurant · Carrer de Sant Agustí, 10, Gràcia, 08012 Barcelona
On a quiet stretch of Carrer de Sant Agustí in Gràcia, And More refuses to pick a lane: it works as wine bar, restaurant and bottle shop at once, and the easy-going room makes that blend feel natural. The list runs to more than 250 artisanal labels from small family estates, rewritten week by week, with upwards of 50 wines by the glass at any time. Natural, biodynamic and low-intervention bottles lead, alongside orange wine, pét-nat and traditional-method fizz from Penedès and Conca de Barberà. Recent pours have included Constantina Sotelo's Pelicas, a skin-contact Albariño from Galicia, a river-sediment Pinot Noir from the Czech grower Martin Vajčner and Sabatera's Trepat pét-nat rosé. Sommeliers Anatoly Kovalchuk and Oleg Eremin, both WSET-trained, steer the glasses, and the seasonal kitchen keeps pace with whatever happens to be open.

Eldelmar Hermanos Torres
Restaurant · Edifici Capitanía, Passeig Marítim del Port Olímpic, S/N, Sant Martí, 08005 Barcelona
Eldelmar sits in the Balcó Gastronòmic of Port Olímpic, where the chefs Hermanos Torres cook Mediterranean food in an open yet intimate room looking straight out to sea. For a waterfront restaurant, the by-the-glass offer is unusually serious. Sherry is a particular strength, including saca releases such as Viña Corrales Fino, bottled under the seal of Peter Sisseck and Carlos del Río, and the glass list also reaches long-aged sparkling wine, sweet Tokaji and Madeira. Gramona's III Lustros Brut Nature, more than seven years on its lees, and a Kühling-Gillot Pettenthal Riesling Auslese from Rheinhessen show the range beyond the obvious. Italian-born sommelier Tiziana Cilumbriello, who trained in winery management before working in Michelin-starred dining rooms, leads the team with a strong regional eye, and Rioja, organic Spanish bottles and sweet wines all earn their place.

Bar Brutal
Restaurant · Carrer de la Princesa, 14, Ciutat Vella, 08003 Barcelona
Founded in 2013 by the Colombo brothers on Carrer de la Princesa, on the edge of the Born, Bar Brutal was one of Barcelona's early natural-wine bistros and still sets the pace. The cellar holds more than 2,000 references, running from classic to genuinely disruptive, while around 20 wines by the glass are on offer and the selection changes every week. Biodynamic, organic and low-intervention bottles dominate, with skin-contact whites, pét-nat and the odd sweet wine in the mix. Recent glasses have included Ca' de Noci's Querciole, a sparkling Spergola from Emilia, Thomas Puéchavy's Les Vrilles Chenin Blanc from the Loire and a Conca de Barberà Cabernet Franc from Celler Escoda-Sanahuja. Sommelier Veronica Slabicki, who joined in 2024 after starting out in Miami, champions growers who farm with nature and reads each table before suggesting a pour.

Berbena
Restaurant · Carrer de Minerva, 6, Gràcia, 08006 Barcelona
Berbena fits an astonishing amount into about 30 square metres on Carrer de Minerva in Gràcia, and the tiny room has become a small Barcelona institution. Owner Carles has built a list of more than 800 references, with up to 30 wines by the glass plus fortified and sweet pours. Sherry, Champagne and lesser-travelled Spanish regions form the backbone. Recent glasses have included L'Enclòs de Peralba's El Tòfol, a high-altitude Macabeo from Penedès fermented in large Stockinger casks, Champagne Vieillard's Pinot Meunier-led perpetual reserve and Terroir al Límit's Històric, a Garnacha and Cariñena from Priorat aged in cement. The kitchen has Catalan roots with accents picked up on the owner's travels, but the plates are there to support the wine. Front-of-house lead Alice Gasenge and cellar manager Victor Bertrand, both WSET-trained, choose the bottles alongside Carles.

Bocanariz
Restaurant · Carrer de Vallfogona, 12, Gràcia, 08012 Barcelona
Bocanariz is a small Gràcia wine bar on Carrer de Vallfogona with a clear mission: natural and minimal-intervention wine from small growers, native grapes and regions that rarely make it onto city lists. The glass selection leans Catalan without stopping at the border, taking in the Jura, the Loire, Alsace, Germany, Greece and Argentina, plus a steady supply of orange wine and pét-nat. Recent pours have included Oriol Fàbregas's Cairons Cabernet Sauvignon from Penedès, Jordi Raventós's L'Abellar made from Subirat Parent and Research's oxidative Solarium 2015, a Macabeo from southern France. The kitchen works entirely without heat, sending out signature tapas, lighter plates, cheese and charcuterie for sharing, while records spin in the background. The sommelier team, all graduates of CETT Barcelona, has worked harvests in France, Argentina, Chile and Spain, and talks through each bottle with obvious relish.

Cinc Sentits
Restaurant · Carrer d'Entença, 60, Eixample, 08015 Barcelona
Cinc Sentits brings an intimate, contemporary approach to Catalan cooking on Carrer d'Entença in the Eixample, building each dish around memory, produce and emotion. The wine programme is entirely Spanish, split roughly evenly between Catalonia and the rest of the country, and favours small productions, native varieties and little-known regions. Guests choose between a premium and a prestige pairing, with many bottles poured by Coravin so that rarities can be opened by the glass. Recent highlights have included Mas Doix 1903, made from centenarian Garnacha in Priorat, a 1983 white Rioja and a special anniversary bottling of Gramona's III Lustros. Head sommelier Eric Vicente has run the cellar since 2008, and his list rewards curiosity, with organic, low-intervention and regenerative estates sitting alongside sherry, Ribera del Duero and traditional-method sparkling wine.

La Vinya del Señor
Restaurant · Plaça de Santa Maria, 5, Ciutat Vella, 08003 Barcelona
La Vinya del Señor has been a wine bar on Plaça de Santa Maria, beside the basilica of Santa Maria del Mar in the Born, since 1997. The draw is depth: an international list of more than 3,000 references, with Burgundy, Portugal and Spain especially well represented. The by-the-glass selection mixes Spanish and international bottles and is replaced every fortnight, so regulars rarely meet the same line-up twice. Sherry gets serious attention too, with more than 70 available by the glass alongside special wines gathered from around the world. A team of sommeliers guides the choice, and tapas and small plates keep the focus on what is in the glass rather than on a full meal. Nearly three decades on, it remains one of the most reliable addresses in the old town for anyone who wants to drink widely and well.

Piedra
Restaurant · Carrer d'Amigó, 33, Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, 08021 Barcelona
Piedra is a small, minimalist restaurant on Carrer d'Amigó in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, with a pared-back room and a menu that shifts with the seasons. Wine is where it becomes ambitious. The cellar holds more than 400 references, some of them rare, and the collection is always moving. There are usually at least 24 wines by the glass, including bottles few places would ever pour that way. Burgundy, the Loire, the Rhône, Champagne, sherry, Argentina and Spain form the core. Recent glasses have included Enric Soler's NUN Vinya dels Taus, a Penedès Xarel·lo, PerSe's La Craie, a Malbec and Cabernet Franc blend from Gualtallary in Mendoza, and Château d'Yquem 2004. Sommelier Gonzalo Francisco San Martín oversees the list, and service stays easy-going and friendly even when the bottle on the table is a serious one.

Pompa
Restaurant · Carrer de Sèneca, 25, Gràcia, 08006 Barcelona
Pompa set out to be a bar à vins and became a restaurant instead. The younger sibling of Berbena, it sits on Carrer de Sèneca in Gràcia and pairs root cooking with a serious cellar. The room feels like a friend's living room, with an open kitchen, one central table, a wall of bottles and a turntable, and Nora the house dog greets arrivals. Up to 40 wines by the glass are on pour, and half bottles can be shared across the table. Champagne, Chardonnay, sherry and Spanish growers lead, served in Zalto and Gabriel-Glass stemware as standard. Recent pours have included Anima Mundi's Camí dels Xops pét-nat from Penedès, Alonso & Pedrajo's Suañé Blanco Reserva, a white Rioja and house favourite, and Vega Aixalà's April 2014 from Conca de Barberà. Victor and Alice choose the wines for both restaurants, while Sebastian and Carles look after the room.

Pur
Restaurant · Passatge de la Concepció, 11, Eixample, 08008 Barcelona
Pur is chef Nandu Jubany's Eixample restaurant on Passatge de la Concepció, built around top-quality produce cooked simply in an open kitchen that faces the dining room. The wine list matches that directness. More than 30 wines by the glass are available, running from terroir-driven Spanish bottles to international classics, and the pour list reaches some unusually grand names. Recent highlights have included Flor de Pingus 2020, the old-vine Tinto Fino second wine of Dominio de Pingus in Ribera del Duero, Château d'Yquem 2005 from Sauternes and Louis Jadot's Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Referts. Beyond those, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne, Alsace, the Loire, Germany, Italy, Rioja and Argentina are all represented, with natural and sweet wines too. Argentine sommelier Andrea Moras, more than a decade in Barcelona, knows South American bottles especially well, and Melani Sevilla selects wines across the Jubany group.

Público, Cuina de Mercat
Restaurant · Carrer d'Enric Granados, 30, Eixample, 08008 Barcelona, España
Público, Cuina de Mercat is a contemporary market kitchen on Carrer d'Enric Granados in the Eixample, and wine sits at the centre of every visit. The glass list rotates with the seasons and with what is available, favouring small producers and unusual labels, and staff offer personal pairing advice for each plate. The spread is broad: Burgundy, Bordeaux, the Jura, Provence, Germany, Italy, Argentina, Rioja and Ribera del Duero, plus sherry, rosé, sweet wines and natural bottles. Recent pours have included Berthet-Bondet's Tradition from the Côtes du Jura, a Savagnin and Chardonnay blend aged in barrels left partly unfilled for nutty, spicy notes, Corimbo from La Horra in Ribera del Duero and Gramona's Innoble 2018 from Penedès. The Argentine sommelier on the floor, eight years into her wine career, brings a storyteller's touch and runs themed tastings in a warm, lively room.

Viblioteca Cheese & Wine Bar
Wine Bar · Carrer de les Guilleries, 10, Gràcia, 08012 Barcelona
Viblioteca is a cheese-and-wine bar on Carrer de les Guilleries in the heart of Gràcia, and it takes both halves of that name seriously. More than 70 raw-milk cheeses from small artisan dairies anchor the menu, joined by tartares, carpaccios and salads, all built around good produce. The wine list runs to around 150 references, many of them natural, with organic, low-intervention and regenerative growers well represented and Spain at the core. A long by-the-glass selection changes every month. Recent glasses have included Enric Soler's Nun, an old-vine Xarel·lo from Penedès, Las Suertes del Marqués from the volcanic soils of Tenerife, made from Listán Negro, and Esmeralda García's Michiko, a Verdejo partly aged in sherry casks. Sommeliers Mauie Mejía and Yolanda Villegas match glasses to cheeses with real enthusiasm, making it an easy place to learn as you drink.

El Passadís del Pep
Restaurant · Pla de Palau, 2, Ciutat Vella, 08003 Barcelona
El Passadís del Pep has fed the Born since 14 November 1979, and finding it is half the fun: there is no sign outside, just the porch of a residential building on Pla de Palau and a long corridor leading to the dining room. That discretion has given it a mystique. The cooking is Mediterranean and salty with the sea, and the cellar is built to match, centred on the best Spanish denominations, local wines and great vintages. Some of the finest still and sparkling bottles are opened by the glass. Recent pours have included Henri Magnien's Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2022 and Terroir al Límit's Terra de Cuques, a Priorat white of Garnacha Blanca and Pedro Ximénez. The range reaches beyond Spain, into Burgundy, Bordeaux, the Rhône, Champagne, Alsace, the Jura and California. Modesto Baena and Joan Manubens have chosen and bought the wines for more than 30 years.

How We Select Venues
The Coravin Guide selects venues based on the quality and ambition and depth of their wine-by-the-glass program.
Each venue is rated on how many wines it keeps open by the glass: Exceptional for more than 60, Outstanding for 41 to 60, Excellent for 20 to 40, and Greg’s Hidden Gems for small lists chosen for inspiration rather than scale. In Barcelona that gives two Outstanding, ten Excellent and one Hidden Gem. The deepest list is at And More, with 50 wines open at any one time.
No venue pays to be included. Ratings reflect the overall standard of the wine-by-the-glass experience, not the broader dining or hospitality offering.
Wine by the glass turns a single evening into a tasting flight, and the wine bars in Barcelona above show how far a thoughtful by-the-glass programme can travel — from grower Champagne to bio-dynamic reds. Use the map to plan a crawl by neighbourhood, and open each venue for opening hours, the current pour list, and booking details.
