Where the concierge points people first
Flaherty's Irish Pub Barcelona — A large pub just off the lower end of La Rambla, set up for sport with plenty of screens. The one to aim for if a big match is on and you want a good view. (41.3784, 2.1768) · Directions ↗- The Fastnet Pub — On the Barceloneta waterfront facing the marina, with outside tables. Better for a pint in the sun than a packed match.

- The Old Irish Pub - La Rambla — On La Rambla itself, which makes it convenient rather than a hidden find. Useful as a meeting point everyone can locate. (41.3789, 2.1750) · Directions ↗

The 3pm game you cannot watch at home
Britain's rule that bars in the UK cannot broadcast Saturday 3pm football does not apply in Spain, so Barcelona's Irish pubs can show those matches live, which is why many English and Irish visitors end up in one. Spain is an hour ahead of the UK, so a 3pm UK kick-off starts at 4pm here. Spanish league games often start late in the evening, and on the nights FC Barcelona plays, the pubs near the old town fill with people watching that instead. Ask the bar in advance which screen will show your game.
