Serve your own tap beer while watching the match in Gràcia
Don’t miss this experience for sports fans.
As we walk into La Pròrroga on Carrer Guilleries 10, a quiet street right off of Plaça Diamant, on a sunny Spring morning, I wonder to myself how I’ve never heard of this bar before. As a sports-mad expat who calls the Gràcia neighborhood my home, I needed this bar in my life.
La Pròrroga has been open for 2.5 years and it’s owner Eneko started the bar originally because he wanted a type of social sports centre and, as that needed some type of income, the project naturally converted into a bar.
Any Catalan or Spanish speaker instinctively knows that La Pròrroga is a sports bar, given that the name translates into “extra time” in English. Eneko chose the name to have something related to sports, but not just exclusively football. As many other sports can have extra time, such as basketball, La Pròrroga was the natural choice.
The bar is not just an average sports bar, they have some very cool features to make it stand out from the crowd. Customers can pre-load money on to a loyalty card and then use that card to get drinks using either the self-service tap beer options or the vending machine in the back with over 40 choices of different beers.
The system is super simple and means you can spend more time watching the match, rather than trying to get a bartender’s attention.
And it’s not just the beers that you should come here for.
La Pròrroga offers unique sandwiches, not only the typical lomo con queso that is so common in Barcelona. The speciality is actually a sub with veal, caramelized onions, mozzarella and a homemade meat sauce. I’ve tried it (as well as the nachos, mussaka, and other subs…) and can vouch it is delicious!
