El Poke Corner Bar

El Poke Corner Bar sits along Av. de Rhode in Roses, offering a casual blend of restaurant and lounge vibes where locals and visitors unwind near the waterfront. The setting is relaxed but lively, making it a fitting spot to drop by after a stroll on the nearby beach or as a casual evening hangout.

The menu reflects a diverse palate with a focus on poke bowls, burgers made from local Girona beef, and an assortment of bagels and rolls, including vegan options featuring jackfruit. The food leans toward approachable, comfort-style offerings with a Mediterranean twist—think grilled goat cheese in salads, patatas bravas, and classic calamari alongside more fusion-forward poke bowls with quinoa and tempeh. This variety lets visitors tailor their meal whether they want something light or more substantial.

Drinks also play a key role here, especially the sangria, which comes highly recommended by returning visitors for its fresh, fruity balance. The bar serves a solid lineup of beers, gin tonics, and coffee, making it an all-day option from a midday break to a casual nightcap. The presence of simple but well-made cocktails and local beers lends the place a friendly lounge atmosphere without feeling overly flashy.

The service is marked by warmth and friendliness, though the pace can be unhurried—perfect for those who prefer to settle in and savor the environment without rushing. The staff are approachable and helpful, and even if language barriers occasionally arise, there is a good-natured effort to connect, giving the place a genuine, neighborhood feel.

Dogs are welcome, which adds another layer of local charm and casual comfort for pet owners exploring the area. Its close proximity to the beach also means that it attracts a diverse crowd from beachgoers grabbing a refreshing drink, to diners enjoying a relaxed meal as the sun goes down.

Best time to visit would likely be later afternoons through early evening, when the warmth softens and the atmosphere shifts toward a gentle buzz, ideal for sharing small plates or settling in with friends over drinks. Those looking for quick service might find the pace slow, but it’s balanced by the inviting setting and the view overlooking the waterfront.

Overall, El Poke Corner Bar feels like a welcoming local stop where the menu’s breadth, seaside location, and laid-back service create a low-pressure environment to enjoy simple, tasty food and drinks in good company.
