Dow Jones!

My favorite Bar in Barcelona is called Dow Jones.  It is located on Carrer de Bruc, 97.  The bar is decorated in the style of an Irish pub.  I like this bar because it always has a good crowd, the bar tenders are friendly, and it is a bar so it give you the ability to have a conversation rather than being in a crowded and loud club.  The prices of drinks go up and down according to what people in the bar are drinking.  When the price changes and if the “stock” or the drinks crash then all of the drinks go down and everyone at the bar cheers and buys rounds of drinks at a low and reasonable price.  Sometimes the bar tenders will make me a special drink and give it to me for free or for an extremely good price.  I have noticed that bar and restaurant owners in Barcelona become friendlier as you come to their bar or restaurant more frequently.  Since the bar tenders at Dow Jones now know me and like me, they help me out with a free drink here and there.  In the United States although you might go to a bar every single night and the bar tender may know you on a first name basis, he or she will probably never give you the drink for free or for a better price.  However, the bar tender will still probably enjoy a good conversation with you.
