Everyone we met seemed to recommend this place. We Went on a Sunday night, pretty much from opening til close! Slow night which was best to grab the best seats at the bar and watch the bartenders did their tricks. Drinks were phenomenal, and very pretty to look at! They infused, barrel aged, & even fermented all their ingredients in house. We also ordered their olives which I loved (we ordered twice and they came in big portions!), little cured sausages, and potato chips (thick cut & addictive!). This place could get crazy crowded on weekends even though it is kinda hidden. read more

Great ambiance! With very interesting drinks. Definitely love the way they come up with some of their drink options. Everything is fresh or made by them. read more

The drinks here were unique but nothing amazing. The atmosphere was very cool, but the first floor was horribly humid and felt like a gross sweaty club. They kept us waiting outside for 15 minutes, but when we were finally let in, there were more than a few open areas for us to sit in. It seems like a manipulation to hype up the place when there's more than enough free seats inside. We were let in and a waiter tells us we can take the seats at the table upstairs. Another waitress proceeds to tell us that our group can't take two small tables since we don't have enough people and would have to move if a larger group comes. This is when there's a group of 3 next to us seated in a booth for 5. We graciously share one small table between the 3 of us, but the waitress spitefully decides to force another couple to sit uncomfortably at the table nearby when there's more open seating nearby. We asked for another menu to order more drinks but decided that it was never coming after 15 minutes and just got the check. If you like overpriced gimmicky drinks for tourists with horrible service, this is the place for you! read more

Great bar! Small interior...expect a wait. Service staff was polite, helpful in choosing drinks and explaining the menu. Bartenders were talented, putting on a show during the execution of the drinks. Not too loud for conversations. Good atmosphere. read more

Absolutely incredible. I LOVED the map of drinks that allowed you to pick which flavors you were looking for (like salty, sweet, smokey) and follow the lines to find a drink that you would like. There was a line when we got there, but definitely worth waiting for. It is one of the 50 top bars in the world and the line moves pretty quickly. We wanted to get one drink, but stayed for 4 each. The last drink we just told our server "Can you make something with gin?" and they came out with a popcorn buttery drink that was absolutely amazing. You will not be disappointed. read more

My son and I were looking for a place in Barcelona where we can enjoy something different than the usual tourist or standard cocktails. My son recommended Dr.Stravinsky; I'm very happy that he did because I've been to over 60 countries; this bar had some of the most innovative and delicious cocktails that I've ever enjoyed. The menu starts with a chart that helps you examine choose your cocktail taste preference (e.g., bitterness, creaminess, spice and salt, etc) to use the interplay between these factors to choose a new beverage rather than maybe one of your old favorites. I ended up with two different ones that were spectacular, and I think just about anyone would have a similar experience because of the ease of use of their taste preference chart. Bartenders also discuss what you might like, the mood you're in and what you might experience that's different from more standards. And then they just bring you liquid deliciousness. I will come back every time I return to Barcelona! read more

Prepare to have the best drinks of your life. My boyfriend and I were absolutely blown away by this place. You HAVE to try the 90 Millas!! It's an award winner so you can't go wrong. It was such a perfect blend of sweetness that suddenly half way through the drink you would realize that that nice warm happy feeling was the tipsiness sneaking out of the beautiful blend of flavors and hitting you. The service is great here! Very friendly staff and they always make sure you have plenty of water and whatever else you need. The overall vibe was really nice and laid back. Also, the decor is really cool/interesting and it was honestly a joy coming here. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Barcelona! The drink prices were not bad at all for the quality. They were around 9-10 euros each. Prepare to embark on a wonderful drinking adventure. read more

amazing vibe, but for both drinks to be lacking is insufficient. cool idea of map, but didn't work - strong, saline was super salty shana got something lighter but had a bad aftertaste super showy in terms of shaking drinks & mixing When you walk in, it looks like you're entering a chemist lab. It's a great interior with all the unlabeled bottles of liquours and bottles aging herbs and other things to create flavours. I also really liked the idea of a cocktail map. So if you want a smokey and sweet cocktail, you just find the cocktail on the line between those two flavours. It was a unique approach. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, the cocktails just weren't any good. A lot of show (the guys coordinated the long pours between mixing cups). But one cocktail was kinda devoid of flavour and the other tasted soooo salty. I've never had a salty cocktail before but it tasted like the seawater we had been swimming in earlier. The menu was disappointing too. They said they'd switched to their summer menu but it really wasn't that diverse a menu and there weren't any intriguing boozy cocktails. Definitely not worth it. Just go to Dux read more

We read up on this place before we came to Barcelona. We only had a four day trip here so we packed as much in as possible. We read that this bar was named one of the top 50 bars in the world and so we said we just had to go! I loved all the jars and handmade ingredients. Our drinks were all very tasty and unique. We arrived early between 5-6pm and did not have to wait but they have an area outside to stand and wait and when we left there was quite a queue so think about visiting during a less popular time and you will likely enjoy the experience more. I was happy that we were offered water when we sat down instead of having to buy a bottle. It does take a little time to receive the drinks given the small size of the bar and how many patrons there are for craft cocktails but as we were expecting a difference pace to life in Barcelona, we were not bothered. I do think this bar is mentioned in many American publications or something. Most of the people inside were American and/or English speaking and while our drinks were delicious, there are definitely plenty of other great cocktail spots that you might not hear about as much. Next time we plan to try to live like the locals a bit more and hope to have more time to explore. read more

Vibes are impeccable here, love the aesthetic. Our waiter was also incredibly nice. But we ordered 3 drinks and the third one (tiki) tasted nothing like the description - my friend even said it tasted like bile, and I don't think she's wrong. We liked the Golden Keffir a lot, and the Bee Trigona was fun while still keeping it interesting. But I wouldn't recommend the Tiki Native, especially if you don't like complex flavors. read more

Incredible drinks--the most crazy unique flavor combinations I've ever seen on a menu, and everything we tried tasted delicious.

Service is better than most bars in BCN and I've been bar hopping. Vibe is eerie and interesting that lives up it's mysterious name. And the drinks.. weeeeeiiiird and even more weird, they're delicious! Homemade gin which is hard enough to find in Barcelona. Can't miss this place. No pictures, you gotta see it for yourself read more

One of the best ambiance I've been too. Old school but feels modern and not try hard. This place is all about flavors and they nail them. The best 2 drinks I've had all trip. Must stop. read more

Came here and were one of the only tables since it was early. Waited literally an hour for them to make 3 cocktails. Meanwhile tables around us got their drinks delivered. They were apologetic but didn't quite make up for burning over an hour for some overpriced drinks! And if we're being honest? They're not really the bees knees.... I'd say if you're an American used to cocktail bars, skip this one. Also there was a gross girl coughing by us. read more

really cool atmosphere and cool concept! came here around 9pm and got seated really quickly. the menu has an intricate matching idea where you pick from the flavors you want and it recommends you cocktails that fulfills that palette. i got the tiki one which was really strong, but the chocolate bit was amazing! the prices are pretty decent, both drinks were 12€ and 11€! read more

Awesome cocktails, really cool ambiance and super nice waitstaff and service. Would definitely go back!

Dr. Stravinsky is fun and inventive cocktail bar in a great location. If you are in Barcelona, you must go at least once. They don't serve any typical or basic cocktails. Every drink has a twist that makes it unique and unlike any drink you can find elsewhere. The bartenders and so friendly and have great guidance and recommendations. It feels much more like an experience than a bar. Be aware that this is a popular bar with limited seating, so be prepared to wait a bit unless you get there right at the time it opens. read more

Agreed with the person with the honest review. This place only has one bartender, so the seating and service is extremely slow. I asked the waitress for a recommendation of a fruity but not sweet drink and she said "it's impossible", and proceeded to recommending a drink that's too sweet still. I think it's just how Spaniards like their cocktails. Two stars for the cool decor and the Paloma drink - it's definitely closer to what we'd get at a good cocktail bar in the States or London. read more

Awesome craft cocktails, about 10 euro each, in an atmosphere that resembles an alchemist's lab. I got the Alma, which is slightly sweet, slightly sour, slightly fruity, with egg white, served up. Absolutely fantastic. The descriptions in the menu are spot on and will help you choose a cocktail that suits your style. read more

Exquisite cocktails, unusual and perfectly created. A must visit if you like unexpected craft cocktails.

This is probably the best bar/mixology establishment I have ever been in. They ferment their own ingredients to make their own cocktails. Watching the bartenders mix the drinks is like watching an artist at work. If you are looking for a place to meet for a quick (or several long) drink(s) before dinner, or before dancing, I highly recommend you visit this bar!! They are open from 7:30pm to 2:30am. If you go, tell Antonio Oliver and Julie say hello!! read more

Love this place. Great cocktails and great ambiance. I tell everyone to go when they visit

Honest review: The staff was friendly which is why they are getting two stars. This bar is not even close to one of the best cocktail bars I have ever been to. It is clearly gimmicky and some of the concepts behind their drinks are clever but: 1. The drinks are not well balanced. What makes a cocktail good is balance. Not having something that is so sweet or spirit forward that it is unpalatable. Not one of the cocktails we tasted was balanced. Either too sweet or the ingredients used left an unpleasant aftertaste. The drinks were just not good. 2. You can tell you are in a decent cocktail bar by looking at the ice in your drink. Good cocktail bars make or purchase good quality, laser or hand cut ice cubes. The ice cubes here were cloudy and came from a bin of half melted ice. 3. They clearly made people wait outside in line when there were plenty of seats available to hype the place up. Good cocktail bars don't need to rely on hype. They want people in chairs and spreading the word about the amazing cocktails they are serving. 4. Service was extremely slow. I could have had double the amount of cocktails in the amount of time it took for them to serve me. The check took forever to get to our table. We were seated at a corner where we could see the bar staff literally fooling around behind the bar (the back kitchen-like area) and you could see that one of the servers was scrolling through social media. 5. They refused to serve cocktails that are off menu. Good cocktail bars hire great bartenders and bar managers and they can make ANY cocktail you ask for. If they don't know how to make it (because it's obscure) they look it up and oftentimes like the challenge (depending on how busy the bar is). It is understandable if they don't have all ingredients, but the best cocktail bars will suggest something similar if they can't make the cocktail. You can't get away with only selling house cocktails and call yourself a top 50 in the world cocktail bar. Overall, not worth the hype as it is on the lower end of mediocre cocktail bars. If you decide to try it after this review, at least go when there isn't a line. Not worth the time wasted. read more

Such an amazing place! great cocktails and great bartenders! would go back once in BCN

Incredible drinks, wonderful staff, perfect bar. I can speak as a patron and as an event planner. Firstly, the menu is incredible and the ambiance is really really cool. It can be difficult to find but it's WELL worth it. I also incorporated Dr. Stravinsky into a fun event I created. From start to finish, the manager and team were an absolute joy to work with. Cesar was the bartender who helped run the event and he was perfect. All in all, this is a cool intimate place with an awesome team, awesome drinks, and awesome ambiance. read more

This location distills their own spirits in site. Amazingly fresh drinks expertly crafted and presented. These drinks are not only tasty and intoxicating they are works of art. The location is dimly lit just right for a nice night out with your significant other or group read more

Great staff, drinks, decor, and ambiance. Would come back again next time we're in Barcelona.

This place is all about pretense. Despite many seats being empty, they create demand by making people stand on the sidewalk for no reason. Then, the bartenders will ignore you for 20 minutes because they are very important, and you, the customer, are not. The drink menu as definitely more creative than most, but in only subtle ways. I will prefer to spend my money in less arrogant establishments. read more

Great concept and cocktails. Very attentive warm staff. However my group had a bucket of water poured on them from a neighbor above not once but twice. The staff just said "what can you do...". I would be going back every night, honestly, but this neighbor is a problem. I don't know if it's just English speakers he has a problem with, but definitely avoid this place if you speak English. No one else was dowsed but us. read more

Fair warning! This is establishment is mainly for either couples or very small groups (like four people) as it has a more of a intimate environment setting or at least thats how it came off as. I visited this location with a larger group of people and well we were looking for a place to go into and be very talkative and have a good time. Unfortunately, this was not the place for that as we were told to "lower our voice volume" a couple of time. So unless you are looking for a place to sit down and either look at each other without saying much or having a conversation in a very low to almost whispering volume, look for another place to have a good time with friends. I will give them credit for how amazing their drinks were. Very well made! I had the Tommy 65 and it was amazingly prepared with the right amount of alcohol and mixture. I had a taste of my friends' drinks and they were all very well prepared. I can see why the waiter said that their bar was rank one of the top 100 mixology bars in the world. Well deserved! read more

If you are a foreigner (and esp a woman) I wouldn't come here..... the lead waiter/host who appears to be the manager of the place was extremely rude to us and controlling. He didn't want us to sit at the bar if we didn't speak Spanish (which we did and he didn't bother to ask) and instead tucked us away in a corner and served us after 30 min of waiting. He was extremely condescending and felt like he was watching us the entire time.... the only upside is the bartenders are nice and were the only saving grace. But overall this place is pretentious and not a lot of fun sadly. Whoever that guy is I hope he calms down and learns how to interact with people :( read more

Do not miss this amazing cocktail bar when in Barcelona. They only let as many people in the bar as they have seats so get there early or be prepared to wait. I had one of the best cocktails ever here. The staff is incredible and engaging which really enhances the overall experience. It has a chem lab meets Frankenstein meets speakeasy feel. The server will help recommend a drink for you or you can select from the menu which changes throughout the year. The cocktail list is well thought out, not overwhelming and is extremely descriptive about what is in the drink and the flavor profile of it. read more

Ugh I don't wanna be that guy to rate a top 50 in the world bar so badly, but I just wasn't a fan. From limiting the crowd, to the 3 drinks at my table all being terrible... To 3 drinks costing 30€... I couldn't get out of there fast enough. read more

Idk how this bar doesn't have more amazing reviews. We're from SoCal, land of bougey cocktail bars galore but hands down, best dranks and most fun vibes so far in bcn! All the waiters were also the bartenders and idk where they learned how to mix the drinks but they do it with such flair, so fun to watch! Super friendly, the menu is so eclectic and fun to look through. Loved the kombucha cocktail and the kefir fizz which is a cocktail kefir!! Gin drink. Amazing vibes, even better drinks, love love love! read more
