This rooftop bar is in the hotel Victor, which also houses a phenomenal restaurant called Mr Porter. I have to say, it's kind of the trifecta. The hotel is nice. Mr Porter's is exquisite! Now back to the Rooftop it's also special and it is unique. The drinks are great. There's a wide selection including specialty drinks. They pour a good stiff drink. No short pours here. The bar has great views, and you can see a Gaudi building right across the street. You can also see Sagrada Família from there. Highly recommended as a short stop and refresher while you're in Barcelona. Enjoy

Amazing server, raised in Mexico and worked for Disney in the USA, fabulously hospitable. We wanted a chill place to enjoy a very light dinner, and The Rooftop was perfect. We had non alcoholic ginger beer (Fever Tree label) and hot tea, hummus with beautiful baby carrots, olives, and a salad of diced cucumbers, tomatoes, and a pinch of fresh mint. When it started to rain the servers quickly belied us move to a table under the canopy. Space heaters were nice. We could see one of the Gaudi buildings from our lovely rooftop venue. After dinner we went to the bottom floor, which was full of folks enjoying themselves, playing pool, visiting. Great place.

It's about a 6 minute taxi ride from there. We were seated in the back room with the writing covering the walls. The front bar seemed a little livelier but we took what was offered. Husband had house red wine (3.50 euros) and I had sangria (4.50 euros). Good pours for both. We started with the red shrimp (gambillos) in a lemongrass sauce, about 6 shrimp for 15 euros. Then grilled octopus (which was very tender) over mash potatos and snap peas for 15 euros. We also had a side of grilled bread (4 pieces) for 3.5. We also ordered the Pepita beef with mash potato but took home for dinner as we were full (18 euros). We finished with the homemade corn ice cream with carmelized popcorn and raspberries, which was very unique at 6.5. We added our names to the wall to top off the meal. Service was quick and friendly. Total bill was 85 euros including 5 drinks. It was our best meal in Barcelona so far.

Pau, the bartender, was in the process of closing down for the evening, but when he heard we were in town from San Francisco, CA he was kind enough to stay open a little late and make us a couple of fantastic drinks and chat with us about the Catalan language and culture. Mine was made with a Catalan gin called "Gin Mare" and was garnished with a toasted rosemary sprig. It was great, and just to my taste. My fiancé's g-t was made with a special infused Bloom gin that was garnished with a lemon twist & rose petals. It was also great. Both g-ts were made with different tonic waters that had flavors appropriate to the flavor profiles of the two gins. And to top it off, they stock two different gins from San Francisco: Junipero (my favorite!) & No. 209. In short, this place kicks ass. Go there.

I had lost my wallet and was moving through the huge crowd on the floor, accidentally bumped into an employee (staff shirt and earpiece) and immediately apologized multiple times in both Spanish and English and explained that I lost my wallet, but he grabbed me by my shirt and screamed at me "I don't care about your wallet!" and shoved me away. I thought he was going to harm me physically with how loud he yelled at me, how tight he was gripping my shirt, and how angry he came off after a simple mistake and profuse apologies. Luckily, the bouncers at the door were helpful. I told them I lost a wallet and they immediately had it and asked basic questions of what it looked like and what was inside. Once I confirmed they gave it back, told me to be safe and to have a great night. I can't give this place more than 2 stars for the physical harassment and blatant disrespect I faced at the hands of an employee. That employee needs better training for how to deal with large crowds, which are super common here (I have been 10+ times). It seems that most of the employees, particularly the bouncers, are here to help, which is amazing. I love it here, but with this experience it's hard to want to come back.

There's few things more annoying in life than Google telling you somewhere is open, only to show up and find out it is not. I get it, that's Google, it's ultimately a 3rd party thing, and stuff can go wrong when that is setup. What I find unacceptable is when a businesses actual homepage is inaccurate. That's your homepage, and you're 100% responsible for making sure it is providing accurate information to your customers. So after finding their open hours, and being lured in by their offer for free futbolin from 17-21 every Friday and Saturday, I showed up at 1722 Saturday, August 22nd only to find their doors closed, and no signs of life at all. Thanks for making me come all the way down for nothing, and wasting a bunch of my time. I won't be back.
