Bar del Pi

Another local that it is still opened is Bar del Pi located in the Sant Josep Oriol Square, 1. Property of Martí Pujol’s family since 1927 we found this little bar in the core of Barri Gotic. It is situated in a typical modernist building as the fashionable architecture in Barcelona during late XIX century.

Although Bar del Pi doesn’t have the spectacular oriental decoration like most of the coffees that we present here it has an interesting story behind its walls. There is a plaque hanging on the wall reminding that in 1936 it place became the Partit Socialista Unificat de Catalunya (PSUC) headquarter. This modest bar also has been a meeting place of artist. A lot of drawings, paintings and original posters preserve this artistic and bohemian atmosphere.   

As we can see in this picture the work of many artist dress this austere bar. Names like Simó Busm, Josep Mascadó, Ramon Mascardó, Rafael Alberti, Serrat, Ocaña and Mariscal watch over Bar del Pi from their frames.
