• tasty food & yummy beer in friendly neighborhood

I live right around the corner from Ale & Hop and yet rarely go there. This is in part because I can't really afford to pay around 6€ for a burger that, while admittedly delicious, doesn't fill me up enough for a meal - the last time I went, I had to order a second one! That said, I do like that it automatically comes with some potatoes (unlike at nearby Cat Bar, whose veggie burger is at a similar price - but also much larger). I also didn't really appreciate the waiter's response to me asking questions about which items on the menu were vegan. My experience in Barcelona is that restaurants often get it wrong, so it is my habit at non-vegan places to ask a few questions to make sure. Ale & Hop's menu labels vegan options but doesn't have the vegan symbol next to all the burgers, which confused me. Anyhow, perhaps the waiter was just having a stressful day, but I would hope that veg places would be more accommodating of their vegan customers. The criticisms notwithstanding, I do hope to be able to spend more time here as it is very cozy, the food is good, and there are many new and interesting beers to try.
