Located in a section of Vigo that is home to many posh bars and nightclubs, Habla! is true to form in all things trendy. The bar's specialty (or specialties plural, as there are multiple iterations) is the ever-so-popular Gin Tonic. If you dare to be different from all of the well-dressed ladies and gentlemen who are sipping on Tanqueray and Tonic in large goblet-like glasses, Habla! also has a good selection of vermouth and champagne. There is a small food menu as well, which features delightful Galician oysters and sushi.
The ambiance is swanky and perhaps it is my more simplistic New York preferences here, but I found the décor to be "trying way too hard". Crystal chandeliers, black and white wallpaper with a large flower motif, one of those black-light type bars, and plush white sofas (and a party photographer on the weekends) are what you'll encounter. The evening I went here, there was modern electronica music playing, which seemed to be in line with the image the bar was trying to create and the tastes of the clientele. If the "scene" is your thing, then Habla! is the place to be in Vigo. read more
