    Absolutely beautiful bar with delicious perfumery acting as not only decoration, but serving an actual purpose. This was definitely an experience! From the menu looking like an old perfumery catalog, to our wonderful server explaining the concept behind the social bar, you can really build an experience here and the only thing I noticed was missing was clientele which is insane tbh. I decided to leave a review because the drinks are absolutely delicious, and you can choose what edible fragrance note you would like in your drink but I won't spoil too much, come check it out for yourself !!!

    Amazing bar one of my favs in Barcelona. I loved their menu which had the flavor universe and how the cocktails adhere to different flavor profiles. There is something for everyone in this cocktail bar. We tried 4-6 drinks and not a single one disappointed us. Service was great, ambience is perfect, we went on a weekday else I can see this place fill up and have a huge wait time. Highly recommend this spot to get a taste of one of the top 50 world's best bars.

    This spot on the World's 50 Best Bars list really does live up to the hype!!! The menu is creative in a way that feels a little mad scientists experiment and honestly, it works! I ordered the Sharing Angel and was shocked by how good it was. The finish actually tastes like foie gras, which sounds wild, but it's incredible. Their twist on an old fashioned is seriously MIND BLOWING! Then I tried the Coffee Break. It has the vibe of an espresso martini without the espresso/caffeine, and it was so smooth and easy to drink. Everything was impressive, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable for cocktails of this level. Definitely worth a visit! Highly recommend!

    Talk about an adventure, you have to follow the map to determine your cocktail. As on of the world's 50 Top bars, I'm definitely going to follow the instructions...LOL This is definitely a poppin spot. I had to queue for spot and the wait to get in continued to grow as the night progressed. Very cute ambiance, with three small but well used spaces. My server was very polite and walked me through the menu. I started with the Crack the Beet. Very interesting, more earthy than I'm used to, but strangely I felt healthy while destroying my liver. Next I moved on to the Caribbean Love, more my vibe. And the white chocolate accompaniment hit the spot. Cheers!

    This place is wonderful. Great cocktails well crafted. It's downstairs is like a speakeasy. Service was very friendly and fast.

    Fiancée and I stopped in for a drink after visiting the Picasso Museum. We had no idea what we were walking into, we had just came in based on a recommendation we saw online. This is one of the most interesting, creative and one of a kind cocktail bars we've ever been to. Almost everything is made in house and the cocktails are based off of a few flavors and you choose yours based off of whatever flavor profiles you like best or that you're feeling at the time. The establishment itself was beautiful and the service was amazing. The wait staff went out of their way to give us recommendations for other places in the area as we were visiting for the first time. If you like cocktails or even just want a unique experience, you've got to stop in!

    Rated as one of the best cocktail bars in the world, and for good reason. It's small and there's usually a wait, but in my experience, they turned tables quickly and the wait wasn't too bad. Interior is funky, with a bunch of weird jars holding various animal parts -- odd, but just part of the whole science-y vibe of the place. The most fun way to order is to look at their "cosmos" and find the intersection of flavor profiles you like, and then be surprised. But there's also regular menu descriptions if that's more your comfort level. Everything we tried was delicious, but our favorite was a tomato-based drink, which was super creative and surprising (wish I could remember the name, but again, we used the cosmos to order!). Overall, a unique experience and great cocktails. A must-visit in Barcelona.

    Nikkei
    Stephanie C.

    Came here on a recommendation; also it's one of the top 50 bars. Definitely did not disappoint. The drink map makes it very easy for you to pick out something that suits your pallet. We were very excited to try different drinks that featured very unique ingredients combined in tactful ways. 80% of the ingredients are made in house. Everything that I tried (and that I took a sip from) was amazing. The Cheese Knees was a very unique flavor, very heavy on the goat cheese, but since I love anything cheese related, this was a great start to the night. The Nikkei was also delicious. The aroma of the sprouts complements the savoriness of the drink. The pickled vegetables were OK, but the hit was the kimchi. Definitely different from your classic Korean kimchi, but interesting Asian flavors. All in all a great experience, and I will definitely be coming back when I'm in the area.

    We had an amazing night with all the drinks. It was definitely interesting trying some of these drinks. Some ingredients were more appealing than others but it was an experience to try it all from the menu. Loved the ambience. Food: olives, salmon, chips, anchovies Drinks: we love the Caribbean Love. Fatty Paloma was a bit too smoky for me. My friend also loved the No Other Whey. Services: the waiting staff were very informative, attentive and friendly. They were able to recommend a drink based on our preferences.

    Simply amazing. Get there early as they fill up. Who wouldn't want to experience one of the best bars in the world (rated!) I would highly recommend the Nikkei. Also don't skip the pickled veggies and kimchee (order both). Best to go in a group and try many different drinks as they have so many things to offer. Ambiance is awesome. Check out their website ahead of time and play around with their interactive flavor profile map. Dimly lit. There's a downstairs and upstairs and even a room you can reserve in back for large parties. The service was excellent. Don't miss this place!

    Another unique bar hidden along the alleys of the Gothic Quarter. We came on a weeknight and waited about 15 minutes with about 4 parties ahead of us, but it went by quickly. The walls are decorated with bottles and portions to feel like you're in a laboratory. All of their cocktails are homemade, so that's pretty cool. When you're presented the menu, there's a flavor Venn diagram to help you choose your drink with the various flavor profiles. But there's also a full description in the menu booklet to help you understand the ingredients in the cocktails too. I ordered the Cheese Knees (€13) while the boyfriend had the Coffee Break (€13). If you're not able to get a reservation at Sips or Paradiso, Dr. Stravinsky is a more affordable option that is also just as unique listed as a top 50 bar as well. They did warn that the cheese knees was very strong on the goat cheese, so pass if it's not your thing as they're not kidding. Unfortunately, we didn't have the energy to try more cocktails, but such a fun ambiance for innovative cocktails.

    "Date Me" sans alcohol. Sweet!

I came around 5pm on a Saturday, and it only took 20 minutes to get in. The bartenders were super friendly and spoke english which was a bonus. Their menu is constantly changing, so I forget the names of the drinks we ordered, but I also ordered a regular old fashion and they nailed it. I noticed another guest being a little rude to one of the bartenders. She was complaining about her drink so they made a new one, and another one after that. Had it been me, I probably would've gave up and asked them to leave lol, but they did not. Instead the opposite, which is very telling of the type of service you'll receive at this place. Overall this was my favorite cocktail bar in Spain, would I go again? Absolutely!

"How did they make this taste like that?" But for enjoying some twists on craft cocktail making? Not so great. Despite a wall full of both rare and classic bottles, most of what's featured on the menu is...eccentric at best. I had two after discussion with the bartender, and both were okay but not what I would enjoy drinking despite having a very broad palate. Although famously ranked by "50 best", this is a lot different than other cocktail bars on that list (I've visited quite a few of them), including the others in Barcelona. Perhaps having hit the number one spot before, they didn't know where to go from there? Nice staff but also missing was bartender banter (at least in English) I've found at most top bars - the bar experience is heavily about that interaction, especially for the solo customer. A positive - drinks are actually cheaper than fancy hotel bars in this city. What they offer *would* be great as a liquid tasting menu and I would return for that. But for full sized cocktails? Meh. Hence the 3 stars. Save it for a date or a "famous bars" crawl, but not for having delicious drinks that tickle the palate while getting the job done.

    We had planned to go to a tapas place recommended by our Gaudi House tour guide (Touring Pandas…read moreguide Jekaterina who was EXCELLENT) but the joint had a line of 20+...so we chose to go to my plan B! We were happy to enter the cozy La Alcoba Azul and seated by a smiling host immediately & presented with menus. The interior looks almost like a wine cellar with brick vaulted ceilings. The offerings are best described as fusion tapas but there are a few traditional bites as well. Our waiter presented us with an amuse bouché of pumpkin hummus topped with roasted pepitas on an herbed toasted baguette crisp. DELICIOUS! We confidently ordered the tomato tartare with avocado cream, basil, olive powder and rosemary olive oil caviar as well as a half order of cured Iberican meats featuring chorizo, loin, sausage and ham, an order of the hummus with black olives, parsley, pine nuts and pita triangles. All were terrific! We especially enjoyed the meats and tomato tartare. I enjoyed a red sangria that was satisfying and happened to be topped with cinnamon...a first and welcome addition for me. La Alcoba Azul is a spot we'll keep on our tapas go to list! You shouldn't hesitate to visit.

    For charm points, the inside of this place is exactly the kind of old-world Barcelona restaurant I…read morepictured before coming here. It is tight inside, and we were tucked into the back room, but in a cozy way. Service is slow in that classic European way, not sad slow, but the kind of slow that reminds you to savor the moment because you are on vacation. The menu descriptions were a little vague, so we took a few stabs in the dark. The eggplant dish we ordered ended up being my favorite, and the hummus with lamb was also very good. I usually love olives, but these did not hit for me. They were a bit too dry and firm, so buyer beware if you are picky about olives. All in all, a charming spot for a romantic vacation dinner.
