We were looking for a nice place to watch American football. This place began as a joy but ended in the shorter male bartender telling us to "Get out, You're not in America, anymore!" The female older manager(maybe owner?) had expressed a lack of vocabulary when she used some vulgar/disgusting words also telling us to leave the establishment. Would not recommended Americans to visit this restaurant.

A cute little spot very well located near the university but hands down the most expensive beverages we had in Barcelona. 6 euro for an Irish beer. Cmon... we were very surprised to see the bill.

On my first trip to Barcelona for business from the US I decided to forgo the traditional dinner scene and opt for a Irish pub. By happenstance Scobies was a short cab ride from my hotel. Upon arrival I quickly found myself in an authentic, friendly Irish pub with an amazing selection of whiskey - I'm not fond of beer. Hungry, I decided to order some food. The food was fantastic! American classic rock was playing, sports on the television, and several patrons with Irish accents enjoying the evening. To be fair I have not tried any other Irish pub in Barcelona but based on my first experience here I'm not inclined to experiment and will just come back here to relax and unwind after work.
Lovely place, friendly atmosphere and a great whiskey selection (Irish, Scottish, and American.)

They went out of their way to stream a hockey game for us. Went througj an entire process just to find what channel was vroadcasting it and if they had it. Hockey is not typically a popular sport in Spain, and with soccer game taking place the same night, they werr able to accomodate us with a TV and provided great customer service.

What a fantastic pub. Upon the recommendation of a friend, I came here for the "best pint of Guinness you'll find in Barcelona." This is certainly the case. Ursula and her husband Garrett run a fantastic establishment. The proprietors are friendly and the crowd is a mix of locals, English speaking tourists, and expats. The music is generally tasteful classic rock and the purple lighting obtains a green hue from the Jameson bottle lined walls. Liquer selection is extensive as well.
Conveniently located. Friendly. Off the Ramblas so you don't feel like youre in Disneyland. The bartender is always ready for a chat. They also speak Catalonia/Spanish well---so no problems there. Tidy and clean. 5 stars easily

The pause that refreshes when you're tired of trying to speak Spanish and find your way around and need a place like home.
Great little slice of Ireland, or Boston or New York for that matter. Young Irish couple decided to open a Pub in Spain. If I recall correctly, They cater to about 40% tourists like us, 20 % Irish X-pats and 40% Spanish people looking for the experience.
Of course Guinness on tap but also Amstel Lager, a favorite of mine and difficult to find. Hundreds of empty Jameson bottles ring the room giving the proper impression. Looked to be 8 or 9 different Irish Whiskeys available plus about anything else you might want.
Oddly enough, no food. Sad because nothing says Barcelona like a nice Shepherds pie and a Guinness.
Conversation with the owner, Ursula, with a lovely Brogue.I must say, showed why you might go there even without the beer. Her stories about living both in Ireland and in Spain had us captivated. Obviously the welcoming, outgoing attitude of her Publican ( The original Scoby ) father has worn off.
What originally hooked me was the playlist of Clancy Brothers songs from my college days and then American music from the same era but if you're too young for that some playlists were more current but, never fear, no electronic Eurotrash to be heard.
There was no stage and, apparently no live music. Perhaps that would have been too much to ask for in Spain?

Good old friendly establishment. Visiting Barcelona and as we walked back to our hotel we spotted Scobies Irish pub. We didn't know that the rugby championship cup was going on. We got talking to the bar maid who turned out to be the owner and after talking she directed us to some great food spot and point of interest. We ended up at scobies every night after our site swing day. If we visit Barcelona we will make sure to make scobies our to go spot.

Irish pub with friendly staff and customers.
Good location about halfway between the Universitat and Catalunya metro stops. The bartender said he poured the best pint of Guinness in Barcelona. Based on my extensive research, he wasn't kidding. Nice G&T, too.
Excellent TVs to watch rugby, football, cricket, etc. No food sold but there are restaurants and take-out joints all along La Ronda.

We decided to go in here while on vacation because we knew we could get good beer on St Patrick's Day. The staff were true Irish which I am kind of purist about. Reasonable prices, good atmosphere, great location. We came across other English speakers from US, Ireland, and Australia and had a great time.

We had a great time at Scobies! The bartender Michael was friendly and chatty with us (Americans) and the locals (in Spanish). It was the kind of pub where no one was a stranger for long. We met someone from home (Texas), Israel, and another bartender who wasn't working from Ireland as well. It had a comfortable feel and the restrooms were very clean. Centrally located, it was a great place to stop and have a pint. Thanks for a great night!!

Best place ever! Talk about a pub that allows you to feel right at home. The staff is wonderful. We stayed in Barcelona for a week and let me tell you, we were at this bar pretty much every other day. Our first night day, the bartender opened up one of our maps and started marking down all sorts of cool places for us to visit. Bars, clubs, local beaches... After that, we began meeting some of the regulars, the owner, all of the bartenders. Let's just say that this place is amazing and if you are looking for a place to call home base, this would be it. If you are a local or a tourist, this place is great for both. Also, you may not notice it between the perfectly poured pints of Guiness, but the music in this place is top notch! Especially if the owner is working the bar. Give this place a try. You won't be sorry.

Barcelona was one of my favorite places in Spain...most because of this bar! We came here after wandering aimlessly in Barcelona for hours. We needed a beer and a rest. What we got was an awesome pint, great conversation, and tons of local information. The bartender spoke perfect English and was from Ireland. My husband is Irish so they got along famously. We were pretty uninformed tourists, but we wanted to just experience Spain. Our bartender told us where to go, what to see, what to eat, and what not to miss. He was awesome. Honestly, we were there over a year ago and my husband and I still talk about the bartender at Scobies. We ended up coming back 3x during our 4 days in Barcelona. Each time he was as friendly as ever. Totally our favorite bar in all of Spain...and that is saying a lot!

I don't think there is a single city on the planet which seems to lack an Irish pub. And, if you've seen one Irish pub, quite honestly, you've seen them all. They will always show football, serve Guinness and play U2. Scobies is no different, other than the fact that this pub does not have the Guinness sign up outside as the city authorities feel it will detract from the beauty of the building's facade.

We normally visit Barcelona twice a year and we always make sure that we stop and take in the atmosphere of Scobies.
This Irish Run and Irish staffed bar that is well stocked for beers, ciders and spirits. Right in the centre of Barcelona situated very close to the Universitat metro stop.
It is always a welcoming environment and a good place to spend a few hours out of the heat of the sun.
They ahve many large tv screens showing sport. If on holiday then you will be able to catch Scottish and English Premier League games, champions league games etc easily.
The bar is also frequented by the locals which is a good sign.
Looking forward to our next visit in a months time.

Tolle Bar. Wir sind ins Scobies gegangen, da es im Belushis keine Sitzplätze mehr gab und wir die Champions league schauen wollten. Nette Besitzer und sehr leckeres Guinnes. Leider haben sie keine Menükarte bzw Getränkekarte ausliegen, so weiss man nicht welche Preise sie nehmen. Laut Rezensionen haben sie auch Speisen davon habe ich aber nichts gesehen. Leider war der Fernseher ohne Ton aber war nicht so schlimm. 6€ für ein Guinnes, 5,70€ für Heiniken, weiss ich nicht ob das so teuer ist da ich es zuvor nie in einer Bar getrunken habe, vielleicht sind das auch die Touris Preise. Bitte Getränkekarten zu Verfügung stellen.

Gran bar Fuimos a Scobies porque no había más asientos en Belushis y queríamos ver la Liga de Campeones. Buenos propietarios y muy sabrosas Guinnes. Desafortunadamente, no tienen menú ni carta de bebidas en exhibición, por lo que no sabes qué precios cobran. Según las reseñas, también tienen platos elaborados con él, pero no he visto nada. Lamentablemente la televisión no tenía sonido pero no estaba tan mal. 6€ una Guinnes, 5,70€ una Heiniken, no sé si es tan cara porque nunca la había bebido en un bar, quizá esos sean los precios turísticos. Por favor proporcione boletos para bebidas.

Pongo la quinta estrella por los detalles que tienen l@s camarer@s para que la pinta de Guinness sea perfecta. En el resto de las cervezas también cuidan esos detalles, aunque no requieren tanta atención. Que te cobren antes de servirte en esta ciudad en la que hay tanta gente de paso, creo que es normal. 👍🏽🍺😋👌🏽
