We wandered by happenstance and I couldn't be happier that we did. The service the artisanal cocktails were absolutely worth it. Yes they start at €10 per cocktail, but believe me when they say they are well worth it.

They weren't just bartenders to me, they were friends. Even if I were just passing by, Salvatore and Sandra made it a point to say hi. It made me feel comfortable and at home in a city I had lived in for only mere days (I am American). Oh yeah, their drinks at great. They have a terrific selection of cocktails that they make with care and expertise. They take pride in their craft while maintaining an atmosphere of friendliness. It truly is a great place to grab some drinks and make some friends. I would recommend it to anyone, and I hope to be back in Valencia soon to be back there. Mi pub favorito en España. Durante mi visita de dos meses, visité a varios bares buenos, pero la atmósfera y los camareros en ROA era lo mejor. No solo eran camareros, sino amigos buenos. Si estaba pasando por la calle, Salvatore y Sandra me saludaron. Me sentí cómodo en una ciudad bastante nueva a mí (soy Americano). Y las bebidas son superiores. Tienen una selección grande de cocktails que hacen con cuidado y experiencia. También siempre mantienen una atmósfera de amistad. Es un lugar perfecto para beber y conocer a amigos nuevos. Lo recomiendo a cualquiera persona, y espero que puedo regresar a Valencia pronto para ir otra vez. (Mis amigos allí también me ayudaron a aumentar mi nivel de español durante mi visita)

Visited twice in two days. Always a line to sit inside as they don't take reservations. Inside…read moreis the charm although they have outdoor seating. Decorated from a time long ago with a laid back atmosphere. Open late -3 am. They offer a light Breakfast and some Tapas but the main draw is their Orange Liquor drink (Aqua de Valencia) as well Cocktails. Tea, Coffee and desserts are also options. First visit sat outside and had a Majou. Tasty local Lager. I was curious about the Grand Mariner coffee. Turns out it doesn't have Grand Mariner in it and so an orange aromatic coffee. Strong with a hint of Orange. I liked it. Second visit I ended up sitting inside as this Hostess said you have to have a party of 4 to sit outside. Different Hostess new rules. So I took a seat inside and ordered a Cappuccino and the recommended Chocolate Rum Cake. Dense cake with just a hint of Rum-delicious. Capp was also tasty. They only sell their Agua de Valencia by the Jarra (pitcher) so I got a shot to try which was a nice touch. Similar to a Mimosa but less bubbles. Since they weren't as busy & tables were open I ended up moving outside for a Beer. Service was hit or miss and can be slow depending on how busy they are. Once they got to you it was fine. Good spot to enjoy cocktails and gaze at the eclectic decor.

It's located in a hotel, which normally isn't my thing but I feel like some of my favorite bars in Spain are connected to a hotel. The vibe is classy but casual, kind of a throwback to a vintage era. The vibe was nice, not too crowded at the time I went (6/7pm). Cocktails were great! Fun, specialty cocktails created based on the different regions of Spain; but also the classics available on the menu. In typical fashion, servers brought me some little snacks with my drinks, which I enjoyed as I people watched and hung out. Located in a cute area with additional restaurants, bars and points of interest nearby. A must visit when in Valencia.

We were there mid-afternoon and they weren't busy. Service was ok. Ambience must have looked better in the 1950s. (I'm guessing it looks better at night.) Agua de Valencia was perfectly fine but not life changing. It was nice to sit down for and take a break from touristing.

Was I wrong! I guess that isn't the Valencian way. Barcode was casual, warm and seemed very happy that I stepped in to have a cocktail or two. Mind you, I am far from what most folks would call trendy, although I am a very "hip" older gentleman if I do say so myself. However, the bartender engaged me with conversation, mixed me great cocktails, and made me feel very welcome. Barcode is in a rather posh area of town, but this cocktail bar has no airs. Bravo!

My friends took me here for my last night in Valencia. They knew I enjoyed cocktails and some wanted the special Negresco cocktail. I thumbed through the large whisky book and selected three whiskies to try. They have good tasting notes and 3 sizes for tasting if they are the malts. This bar also plays great music, so us dancers did some "west coast swing", some lindy hop and threw two airsteps. Soon after that, a co-owner walked in with his french bulldog. Fantastic dog! We got some pictures with him. Very sociable animal. Then we dealt with drunk Elvis. A plea to the karaoke bar that was closed so he came to Negresco: "stay open later. Please take his off-key singing and strange flirtations to your establishment". Overall, a great evening with great service and great prices.
