    Outside seating area

    Cool bar with outside seating area to enjoy the nice Barcelona days and people watch. The handmade ceramic glasses are cool and unique. Service was ok and drink prices were reasonable.

    Cool bar in Barcelona, right in the heart of lots of shops and restaurants to wander around and check out. What's unique about this place is that they serve their cocktails in ceramic mugs that they make, which they also sell. They serve everything from sweet cocktails to more spirit-forward ones. I got El Suero which had gin, coconut milk, lavender, and grapefruit. It was sweet but good! Fun ambiance inside.

    We came across Mariposa Negra while waiting for a nearby reservation, and absolutely fell in love! The inside was dark and cozy, and everything inside was perfectly, imperfect! From the unique tables, chairs and benches, to their signature handmade cups, everything was unique! The menu was almost overwhelming, because even as a cocktail afficionado, we were blown away by the unique ingredients in each concoction! The tasting notes were super helpful though, and we pretty much just picked two, and ordered! We were not one bit disappointed, and took a moment to admire them before we devoured them both! I highly recommend getting away from the tourist trap places, and making a trip here!

    If Geneva is behind the bar, you'll be treated to possibly the best cocktails of your life. I've been blotto in Bangkok, maudlin in Medellin, plastered in Prague, ripped in Romania, and faced in the Philippines but this was the best tasting spirit I've had anywhere since I've been too young to know exactly what the difference was between expert mixology and pouring some liquor in a cup.

    Everything here is perfectly imperfect! From the oddly shaped glasses, vases, bottles, etc. to the uniquely made drinks, you are sure to experience something superbly different. Sit outside, at the bar, or in the very cozy seating behind the bar and experience stepping out of the norm. Best drink I've ever had, and I'm two steps away from AA.

    Fantastic craft cocktails served in unique handmade ceramic glassware. This place had minimal reviews but was close to another bar we were waiting to get into. The bar ended up being even better than the place we were waiting for and we went back afterwards. The staff was helpful and the craft cocktails were incredible. Highly recommend to anyone traveling to Barcelona!

    Unique drink ware, exuberant drinks.

    One of the best bars I have ever been to, if not the best. I don't want to spoil too much about it but it's entire concept is very unique and well worth the experience. While I was a bit skeptical at first on how the ingredients listed for each drink option would fit together (including the vast majority of spices they have out on display at the bar), I was happily surprised by the outcome and wish I was capable of successfully recreating their drink masterpieces at home. Not to mention, the presentation of the drinks themselves makes you feel as if you are entering a magical place in another world, allowing one to fully take in the mystical experience. Take my word for it (or the fact that I went four times throughout the duration of my trip)--this place is well worth treating yourself to a night at.

    Amazing ambiance and unique drinks! We had Mateo as our server and he was great! Definitely recommend for a chill drinking vibe.

    Mariposa Negra- one of the best original cocktail bars not only in Barcelona but possibly the world.

    Paradiso was awesome. I arrived shortly after they opened at 4 PM and waited in a small line to get…read morein; not because the place was full, but because they were letting people in slowly to give them time to settle in and be served. We got great seats at the bar. Our bartender (David, I think) was very friendly, knowledgeable, and skilled. The menu is a light-up book that has fun illustrations and useful descriptions in it, including flavors, alcohol level, and a drawing of the cocktail itself. I really like when menus show this much info. Our first round was the Subterranium and Atlantide. They were both delicious and interesting flavors. They also came with tiny bites and in interesting glassware. Our second round, the Ramses and Great Gatsby, were similarly interesting, but we liked them a bit less. David gave us some gratis truffle amaro (also delicious) on the way out. I highly recommend a stop, especially if you can sit at the bar.

    Paradiso is one of the Top 50 Bars in the world and rightfully so! From the decor and service, to…read morethe unique cocktail menu, everything about this place was perfect. 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!

    Really enjoyed this bar and we can see why it's been named in the top 50 bars…read more The bartender was really engaging with the people which we enjoyed. The drinks were 8/10 The ambiance was generic but we had a good time. Definitely recommend trying it.

    Wow did we want to give this place 5 stars…read more The bartenders were great and welcoming and the decor was very cool. It is a pleasant place to be physically. All of the cocktails we tried were excellent (we had two more not featured on photos here). We went Sunday 4/19 around open (5pm ish until 7:30 ish). However, our experience was sort of ruined when a female employee came over and chided my wife and two other American patrons we were talking to for being too loud. They weren't being particularly loud and at this point we were the only four people sitting at the bar itself. She was not a bartender (at that time at least) and she completely ruined our vibe with this complaint. She had been eyeing one of the other American patrons we had been talking to before she came over and confronted my wife after she laughed. The bar tenders didn't seem to be aware this happened and when we were closing out they remarked they didn't think we had been loud and that they like their guests to have fun. This female employee apparently didn't get the memo! We sense that perhaps she just dislikes Americans, which would be rich for working at an establishment like this! She also had no issues when a dog other guests brought in barked loudly multiple times, each time silencing the entire bar because the barks were so booming. The other American couple felt the same way -- the stern talking to just ruined the experience for all four of us. So... great spot but our experience was unnecessarily tarnished by a jerk employee!!!
