Best Bars in Barcelona

London Bar

Quite possibly the best cocktail bar we’ve ever been to.  The bar has impeccable style, often times features live music and at 11pm on Sundays actually has a live trapeze act.  All of that pales in comparison to the incredibly inventive cocktails, all of which were stunningly delicious.

Dr. Stravinsky

Regularly listed on the top cocktail bars in not just Barcelona, but also the world, Dr. Stravinsky, in fact, ranked number 25 on the World’s Best Bars list in 2019.

Old Fashioned

A small cocktail bar with some excellent cocktails.

La Whiskeria

A no frills, hole in the wall type whiskey bar that actually serves up some fantastic old fashions while playing great rock ’n roll and old blues music over the speakers.

El Paradiso

A speakeasy who’s front is a working pastrami shop where you can get a great pastrami sandwich before drinking cocktails in this hidden bar.  To find the entrance, spot the wooden fridge door and head behind to discover El Paradiso, an elegant cave-like cocktail bar that features 2014’s best mixologist in Spain, Giacomo Gianotti.  Some of the items on their menu are simply out of this world, like a re-distilled whiskey where they remove the part of the whiskey that has the aged oaky flavor profile, use that to make a tea sorbet which as it melts into your whiskey actually slowly ages it.

Solange

The atmosphere of this stunning bar takes center stage as opposed to many of the cocktail bars listed above that are reinventing the cocktail bar wheel, Solange is all about elevating the classics with refined elegance.

Can Cisa & Bar Brutal

A local bar and restaurant with an astounding wine selection featuring organic and bio-dynamic wines, a classic bodega entrance, and wonderful tapas. 

Morro Fi

One of Barcelona’s most famous and most celebrated Vermouth bar.  This lively bar is the spot if you want to have the full Barcelona vermouth experience without any of the pomp and circumstances or fanciness associated with most vermouth bars.
