Tinta Roja

Barcelona


A succession of nooks and crannies, dotted with flea-market finds and dimly lit in violets, reds and yellows, makes Tinta Roja an intimate spot for a craft beer, cocktail or glass of Argentinean wine. There are also tango classes and shows in the back, featuring anything from actors to dancers to acrobats (check schedules online).

This was once a vaqueria (small dairy farm) that kept cows out the back and sold fresh milk at the front.
