Generally speaking, bars in Spain are just great places to meet and socialise, and have a drink.
It's far easier to take a friend to a local bar to discuss the finer points of a football match a over coffee or beer, than to make coffee at home. The coffee is usually much better too! Perhaps a tapas or two if lunch seems a long way off.  It will sure fill the hole for a while
