It is true that there are Irish Pubs all over the world, so we could easily say that any city can be measured by the Irish Pubs. Based on that, I have to say that Barcelona is probably on top of the list as there are almost 20 Irish pubs in the city.
Although there is a smoking ban in Spain, it is not as strict as the smoking ban in Ireland or the UK as basically it is up to each bar to decide whether they want to be a smoking or non-smoking area so of course all go the latest so you will not have to go outside for a smoke.
It is true that Guinness does travel well and that if you want a real pint of Guinness you should go to Ireland, but you can still find a nice pint of the black stuff in Barcelona.

Michael Collins
Probably the best Irish bars in Barcelona. Located just beside the Sagrada Familia.Live music from Friday to Saturday from 23h and Sunday from 21h. All the sport you want (GAA, rugby, Premier league and of course F.C. Barcelona). If you are looking for good craic, Michael Collins is your place.
Address: Plaça de la Sagrada Familia, 4
Metro: L5 or L2 (Sagrada Familia, L2 )
Opening hours: Daily from 12 noon until 3am.
Molly’s Fair
Located on Ferran Street, just beside Les Rambles (Metro L3 – Liceu). Nice Irish bar to stop by for a Guinness. Really good atmosphere and great location. So if you are in city centre and looking for GAA, rugby, the premiership or simply a quiet pint, Ferran Street is your place.

Apart from Molly’s Fair, there are several other Irish pubs on the same Ferran Street (O’ Hara´s, My Bar and Temple Bar). So if you are in city centre and looking for GAA, rugby, the premiership or simply a quiet pint, Ferran Street is your place.
Flaherty’s Irish Bar
Family own pub founded in 2001 is located just beside les Rambles. Traditional Irish Breakfast served. It also has a plasma screen were major sport events are broadcasted (GAA, rugby, soccer). Great atmosphere.
Address: Plaça Joaquim Xirau (just of the Ramblas)

However, if you are interested in local pubs and clubs, Barcelona has a huge offer.
