Bar Electricitat is in the seaside neighborhood of Barceloneta, which is home to some of the best tapas bars in the city. The general rule of local dining applies: the more dingy it is, the more you probably want to eat there. Bar Electricitat fits that bill and also keeps weird hours, so naturally, it’s a favorite among locals for serving some of the best conservas and vermouth.
