Lovely place to have local beer and other drinks. They specialize in infused gin that is flavored in house. They have so many crazy flavors to choose from, it's fun to try a wide variety. They have a nice selection of local beers to Barcelona. Enjoyed the cozy atmosphere of this place and the ruby colored lightning. Ordered some tapas olives and they were perfect to nibble on with the flavored gin and beer. This place was a cash only, so be aware of that. A great place for a friendly and unique late night drink. read more

I do not order mojitos back in the States but the mojitos here were respectable in freshness, sweetness, amount of alcohol per cup, and pricing. I really enjoyed the atmosphere created along with the music selection. Tight space and if it is at capacity you will have to wait until enough people leave (1 comes out-1 goes in). They do not accept cards here so please bring enough cash. A little more cushion on the stools would make this place even better or at least more comfortable. read more

Bar Rubí - This is the 4 euros Mojito. It may not look intimidating but it's strong. I had a few sips before I took the picture. #NoJudgmentZone - Spanish Near Me - Barcelona, B

Incredible infused gins for the gin and tonics, great staff and the best mojito this side of Havana. It can get crowded in the evening, but it is a great spot with a right on vibe. Don't miss Bar Rubi! read more

Went two nights in a row! Chill little place with cool red lighting. The gin and tonic is delicious, with tons of house made flavors. I got the grapefruit once and elderflower after that. Both were great, with the latter being slightly better! The mojitos are also great. We liked the strawberry one and the grapefruit one best, with original being too strong. The drinks are super well priced and are made VERY strong, so you get a bang for your buck. Definitely a great little stop to make along your night! read more

What a great bar. We went on a Monday evening, not so busy but still a great atmosphere. Would have loved to have visited on the weekend. Friendly staff, very cheap. read more

If you like Gin... This is your place! Rubi prides itself on its gin drinks! Americans will find themselves super impressed that there is a reason for the long spiral spoon... Your bartender will show you the usefulness of it! Wish there were more selection of tapas/munchies to nibble on, but still amazing! read more

Great little bar tucked away in the narrow back streets of the Born district. Mojito heaven! Well designed with attention to details, with a red theme (red light feeling). We went on a Sunday evening, and it was confortably half-full. Easy conversation and nice vibe. But the best is the Mojitos: Perfectly made, fresh and balanced. Recommended for an evening hangout with a date or a few friends. read more

Great gin drinks! The owner is very welcoming and accommodating. Good place for a nightcap.

I didn't want to use Yelp! while in Europe because I figured it would be "touristy" of me to do so and we wanted to fully immerse in the Spainish culture instead. But some of the bars we went to earlier that day were either hit or miss and I wanted to end the night with a chill/cool vibe. So Yelp came to the rescue and did not disappoint! It was exactly how I wanted to enjoy the night. The bartenders were helpful on letting us know which tapas to try. The Mojitos were strong and made fresh in front of you....something I haven't had back in States! And at 3.50 a pop, you cannot beat that! They have over 50 gins from around the world but the house gin used for the Mojitos was just as great. Definitely coming back if I find myself in Barcelona again! read more

My favorite bar in Barcelona! It was recommended to me by a friend and filled with a mix of locals and foreign tourists. The bar tender (who is one of the owners) infuses his own gin with flavors like grapefruit, cucumber, lemongrass etc. We went twice in one week to get our fix. Its located down a very narrow/quiet street in El Borne and is easy to miss! Once you enter, music is playing, everyone is chatting - great vibe. So cute/hip/barca....go! read more

This is one of the best bars I have ever been to, hands down. Walk in, and everything is doused in a reddish hue. You hear both Spanish and English being spoken-tourists and locals alike frequent Rubí. It's a small place, so finding seating may be hard, but a short wait is well worth it. Next, let's talk about the mojitos. 3 euros a pop on the first night we were there, and hands down the best mojitos I have ever had. They shake the cocktail with the mint leaves, and make it the right way-this is something most bartenders in the US never seem to know to do. Appropriately strong and perfectly minty, these are the mojitos you will crave the next time you order one that isn't up to par. It's a very chill place, with fun music playing, laid-back conversations, and a fun crowd. Great, great ambience. You're missing out if you don't go-the host of other 5-star reviews here prove that I'm not the only one who loves this place! read more

We were recently here two nights in a row. So friendly and the best mojitos I have ever had. Laya is a real keeper, great for any bar with a wonderful personality . read more

Bar Rubí - Spanish Near Me - Barcelona, B

The mojitos are the best I've had, along with capinrinhas, and some great flavored gin options for gin and tonics. The music is eclectic and always upbeat from funky stuff to fun oldies and reggae. It's definitely a mix of travelers primarily, filling up the small space from about eleven to close. The bartender, Laya (sp?), really makes the experience special though. read more

Worst experience - blonde bartender was rude and unaccommodating. I went down the street to Dux Barcelona - 10 times better and amazing drink and bartenders. read more

Just incredible. Go to spot for drinks in Barcelona. What else is there to say that hasn't been said before? Amazing drinks. Incredible prices. Really great bar staff. Fresh drinks and great vibes --- do not let the price tag fool you. These €3.5 mojitos would be $12-15 in the states. If you're looking for drinks, stop reading this and just go as quickly as you can. read more

I love this bar! I was initially drawn in by the glowing red lights and the sign for €3.50 mojitos. My mojito was good and strong, and along with it I got a free tapa of Vietnamese summer rolls! I love free food. So far I have sampled nachos, yum, fried chilies, yum, cheese and olives, yum and Vietnamese rolls, yum! This is a great bar to go to if you want to meet people as Matt the bartender is friendly, outgoing and introduces people to each other. Can I think of anything bad to say? No, I can't. read more

Awesome little bar, tucked away in one of the alleyways in elBorn. Here they specialize in gin. Besides your standard options they also have at least a dozen of house-made, infused gins. Gin& tonic is big in Barcelona and many places make it good. Rubí made the best gin&tonic cocktail I had by far. It was a lime-infused gin with cardamom and it was delicious. I would recommend to any gin enthusiast to check this place out. Atmosphere inside is dark, intimate and perfect setting for a good night. read more

A cool eclectic little bar that makes €3.50 mojitos that are really strong but with enough sugar to mask the taste of the alcohol. A couple of these and you're sure to get a nice buzz going on. A bit cramped like many of the bars in the area. read more

A hidden gem. Amanda is an outstanding bartender who will customize a drink for you. Outstanding variety of infused gins. Will be back. Excellent ambiance and music. read more

Can I just tell you that I LOVE that gin is such a huge thing in Barcelona? We went to two bars that were majorly gin heavy and I was thrilled. Bar Rubi definitely was my favorite. Everything is deep red here, including the lights. Sure you might think it is a little weird but once you start eyeballing the bottles on bottles of infused gin, you will forget all about it. The bartender can suggest a good mixer for each flavor of gin, which range from fruits, spices, hot peppers and coffee. While you might find this weird, I strongly suggest getting the chocolate gin. They mix it with orange juice and it basically tastes exactly like those chocolate oranges you eat during the holidays. They offer other liquors if you are not willing to expand your gin horizons including a rather cheap mojito. If I ever return to Barcelona, I will definitely head back here. We returned twice in just our short trip in May! read more

This was my boyfriend and I's FAVORITE bar during our two trip in Barcelona. We happened to stumble upon it one night roaming around town and quickly got to know the owners behind the bar who were super down to earth, full of good recommendations and jokes! Hi Con and Matt!!! The drinks are inexpensive and generous! I discovered my new favorite drink of the moment, Hendrick's gin and tonic, while there... They serve it with fresh sliced cucumber... Delicious! My boyfriend and I also ate there for dinner on several occasions and loved every plate. This place is terrific and in a great area! I give it a 10/10 in all respects, including but not limited to- price, food, drink, music and company! GO! read more

Nice, classy and hopping little bar in a great walking area. Good drinks, good prices. Nothing at all to complain about, check it out yourself! read more

The mojitos here are not bad, there's a bit too much alcohol taste to my liking. Clientele seemed to be teens to mid thirties. There seems to be lots of gin choises though if that is your thing. read more

We went early in the evening and the atmosphere was great. Just a few people but the woman bar tender was very friendly. The drinks were great too! I'm not a gin person, sadly, because they had many many different brands and homemade infused varieties. I had the mojito and it was awesome! read more

great place awesome ppl including the staff who are supper friendly! just one more thing that you need to know, when you smoke out side, you need to really be quit bc of the neighbors:/ read more

Great food, cheap drinks, solid music, and pleasant atmosphere. Perfect place for a couple drinks and a bite to eat after work, before a night out, after a night out, whatever. Could only be better if they were open for lunch as well....but wishful thinking, I guess. The decor suggests that this is a night spot. Still, some afternoons I could kill for a caña and some Thai basil chicken, or spring rolls, or whatever the crew is cooking up back there.... read more

What a fun bar! Great atmosphere and so many different types of gin. If you're not a gin lover, they have excellent mojitos and cava.

Great atmosphere, fun barkeeps, and a wide range of custom flavored gins. A little out of the way, but once we found it, we kept going back.., read more
