Back in the day, Poblenou was known as the “Catalonian Manchester” for being the centre of Catalan and Iberian industry. After the 1992 Olympics, the city decided to implement the 22@ district plan. The project basically meant to renew the area, which had been left pretty abandoned, in to a central business district. Nowadays, that old cluster of factories and working class residences has evolved in to the city’s tech and innovation district. Artists, creatives and young professionals from around the world have converted the former factories and warehouses into unique lofts, galleries, shops and co-working spaces.
Although la Tavernícola is one of the newer additions to the hood, once upon a time it was a local winery that dated back to 1937. We really like the way the new owner has managed to maintain some of the traditional aspects of the place such as the wine range, thus combining original features with modern touches. They have also added a selection of cocktails to go with their seasonal menu, characterized for using traditional Mediterranean products with a modern twist.
