Where to Hang Out in Barcelona?

[Progressive]

2 days in Barcelona. Been a few times before. Done Las Ramblas area many times, looking for something a bit different.

Any suggestions? Looking for bars, cafes, culture and ideally non-touristy...

Pitins Bar, the best Hendricks G&T on the planet. http://barcelona.unlike.net/locations/301190-Pitin...
There are loads of other great bars and eateries in the Born district and you have everything within walking distance, the beach, La Ramblas, the Picasso Museum, the cathedral etc.

Siete Portes, the oldest restaurant in Barcelona. Book early for reservations though. Great food and ambience. A "must do" whilst in Barcelona.

there's also loads of bars/restaurants around port olimpic marina if you fancy somewhere different and away from ramblas, etc.

Born is obviously good but I am also a huge fan of Barcelonetta which is the old fishing district between the sea and the marina.
lots of small bars particularly away from the marina edge with some fantastic tapas places, local with a sprinkling of expat residents.
Very casual and cheap if not on the marina or beach front.
