With the sweltering heat that some days seizes
the city, the only thing you can do is going to the beach, lying under the sun
and having a cold drink. However it is, the cool drink seems a highly
recommended option, especially if it has a sweet touch, another of alcohol and
other fruity ... and voilà! ... we have a cocktail. As a tourist city, Barcelona is crowded with
pubs and bars where cocktails are served at prices more or less affordable but
whose quality is usually a matter of opinion. For those with a high standard
taste, we offer a list of the best cocktail bars of Barcelona, a top 5 based on its quality,
price and originality.
The Negroni, located at Joaquin Costa Street, is a cocktail bar
of small size, dominated by the black colour and the red of its lamps made of
bottles of Campari, one of the basic ingredients of the cocktail with the same
name. You will not find any list of cocktails, but their experienced bartenders
will create the perfect cocktail for you, based on your tastes, asking you until
they hit the nail on your head. A great experience at affordable prices right
in the heart of the Raval district.
A little further away from the centre, at Rocafort Street, we find one of those vital but little-known local in the Catalan capital, the Xix Bar. On
the marble bar 100 years old the most spectacular gin cocktails are prepared.
Whether with wild fruit, grapefruit, lemon, or cucumber, all will delight you.
They are served in a brandy glass, prepared with the best products and with
unparalleled love and dedication. This is a small local, originally decorated
and where you will love gin-tonic in all its versions.
A classic among classics in Barcelona is the Boada cocktail bar, located at Tallers street,
this place was opened in 1933 by a Catalan born in Cuba, where he brought his expertise
to prepare some delicious cocktails. The decor is very elegant, follows a very
classic style, with its wooden bar, the matching stools and the pictures
hanging on the wall, along with the experienced bartenders dressed in a tuxedo
that grants the premise a classic and chic touch. They have a wide menu of
delicious cocktails, a must in your tour through Barcelona.
Another alternative further away from the
bustling heart of the city is the Torrerosa bar. Located at Pinar del Rio Street, between Sant Andreu and Guinardó, this
cocktail bar is located in an Indian house from the early twentieth century.
The fantastic cocktails are prepared by expert hands with renowned national
awards and served either in its pleasant terrace or inside.The mansion is
divided between the ground floor, equipped to the Barcelona nightlife, with
more commercial music for younger or partygoers and a more relaxed upstairs,
where you will enjoy cocktails in a
relaxed environment.
A new cocktail bar in the Barcelona scene is the Pesca Salada. Original
premise housed in a former fish shop at the Acera Street. The bathroom occupies the
space previously used for the very old fridge. Original decoration, don't stop
looking at the lamps and the ceiling and of course do not fail to prove their
great cocktails, with original names and compositions. A great discovery in the
heart of the Raval district.
