Cocovail Beer Hall

Para turistas eeuu

A very American feeling bar with a good number of TVs focused on sports. Service was good but not particularly beer oriented. 30 taps but not the most eclectic selection as compared to some of the other bars in Barcelona. Did not try the food on my visit. Prices were in line with the area.

Beer hall reminiscent of those beach bars one would find along the FL or CA coasts. Some beach, street signs, pictures memorabilia, some big screens to watch game and even NFL all akin to the US flair. Pretty good draft selection of 24 beers, although just 21 when I visited on 19/07. Many light sessionable beers for the hot summer. Many new beers to try. All beers available in 2 sizes. Service at the bar only, friendly younger staff offered beer samples, but I settled for the SN Torpedo and a local Zeta Aeromancia white IPA. Pretty good. I really went there for the wings, after some 15 years in the US it is one thing I always look for in Europe. The wings menu was pretty similar in flavors as to what Buffalo Wild Wings does in the US - hence I went for 10 Mango Habanero and 10 Caribbean Jerk. Added some blue cheese to it which I found to be average, it arrived not liquid but having an almost thick spread like consistency. The sauce were on the dry side - almost rub-like with no sauce left in the plate (I love to get the fingers dirty and sticky), the Mango Habanero lacked the glazing mango profile, the habanero was present but hidden in the back and not really bringing the light tear jerking sweat I'd usually get stateside, the Caribbean was also very dry with a strong lingering thyme/fennel herb finish which ended up being a bit overwhelming after a few wings. The wings are huge, almost 2x size what you get in other wing places - Brewdog Brussels or UK for example. Overall, I was a bit disappointed by the sauces and the blue cheese. Atmosphere was good as we sat close to the bar, however, as it got late into the evening past 20h30, the crowd noise increased and reminded me of the drunk feeling of Delirium Brussels one encounters and which I abhor. One guy was drunk passed out on the toiled seat, another group was overly noisy and pounding what appeared to be buckets of 3 liter beers. Would revisit closer to lunch time to retry the wings - as it stands now, I can think of other beer locations in BCN that have great food and great craft selection.

A friend of mine had recommended this place and it did not disappoint! Had 24 selections on tap - Lagunitas, Edge, Espiga and many more! I liked the american surf vibe as well. I need to come back to try the famous chicken wings

Great place to catch any sports games. I will be back

Didn't like how waiters talked to me
