JAI-CA BARCELONETA
In 1955, Jaime and Lluïsa, two siblings from Barceloneta, opened Jai-Ca. The bar was named after them. Today, three generations later, the same family is still in the neighborhood and running the place.
The Arrival of a Traveler
Legend has it that a parrot with a broken wing arrived in Barceloneta on a merchant ship. Lluïsa took him in, and this parrot lived with us until 2010, becoming another member of the family and, later, the image of Jai-Ca. During the 70s and 80s, he was often seen at the bar, and everyone knew him as Baldomero.
A Crunchy Surprise
More than 30 years ago, owners Jaume and Antonia invented it. At Jai-Ca, if you order an anchovy, you’ll eat it with its own bone, well-fried and crispy. A little reward for the most adventurous palates. Our customers have christened it: La Raspa.
More Than Just a Bar
If we talk about football, Jai-Ca is so ‘culé’ that for decades it has been a meeting point for many Barcelona fans from the neighborhood (and beyond). Here, matches are experienced as if you were in the stands, surrounded by friends, beers, and a lot of passion.
