Located at 206 West 41^st street, Bar Catalonia takes over in the spot formerly known as Bar 41.  Much more laid back than its predecessor, Bar Catalonia is the hostel bar for the Equity Point Hostel, just as Bar 41 was the hotel bar for Hotel 41.  Long, somewhat narrow space with a small bar, much of the place is taken up by low lying seating and cartoon and caricature art along the wall opposite the bar.  There are eight tap beers and a limited hard liquor and wine selection.  We had a happy hour Bronx Brewery Pale Ale for just $5.  Very good happy hour price for this part of town.  Overall, it’s worth a visit if you’re in the nabe.
