    So cute and my drink was delicious. Hidden behind a fake grocery front. Music was fun. Make sure you visit the mirrored room near the entrance.

    This is a speakeasy that looks like a supermercat from the outside with a really cool interior, but I wasn't a fan of the drinks. While the presentation was cool, Eliasson's spritz tasted like bitter cough syrup and Thelonius' Dream was just okay. The service was good though and people kept helping us. There was a long wait but the bouncer was nice and just let us in. I think this place is great for the atmosphere, but if you come maybe stick to a classic drink.

    This is a super cool spot in Barcelona and I would recommend that everyone try it once! The ambiance is great and the drinks are fun. Just be aware that there will probably be a wait.

    Super cute speakeasy in Barcelona. They are sister speakeasy to some other one around the corner. The other one became a little too tik tok viral so security recommended this one nearby and it was a great experience. They let in new customers little by little. Dimly lit with creative cocktails and we'll dressed staff. Do not believe they serve food as I didn't see it on the menu or see anyone being served.

    Amazing staff like Claudia!

    Cool vibe. Weird check in process that tends to make guests fee more alienated than "exclusive"

    Rude and disrespectful doorman told my friends to shut up as we approached the door and refused to even let us know how to get on the waitlist. We asked girls who left how they got in and they said the doorman directs you to scan a QR code to get on the waitlist which was never disclosed to us since the doorman clearly must've profiled us for reasons I don't understand. They lied, told us to shut up and just asked if we had reservations and then refused entry. This place does not take reservations. Clearly a disgusting establishment that treats people as if they are beneath them. I'm embarrassed I specifically ubered to this cocktail bar based on positive reviews. In all my years of travel I have never been disrespected like I have here. I truly am appalled and upset that this is a blemish on an otherwise positive Barcelona experience.

    Champagne Negroni was everything. Bar is quite crowded so be prepared. Scanned the QR code and walked around for almost two hours before getting in. Standing room only. Lots of Americans, Brits and Australians.

    The ambiance was worth visiting. The security and staff are not very friendly. We did not eat here.

    There wasn't a line or anything so I walked up to the entrance and first asked if they were open.

    Fil Manila - Pancit Miki Bihon

    It was such a pleasant surprise to find Filipino food in Barcelona. Fil Manila was a bit hard to…read morefind after coming from La Rambla street but I'm definitely glad we found it! We came here on a Friday night and there was a fair amount of people dining in. Despite having a few tables to wait on; the waitress here was quick to take our orders. We happened to come on a Lenten Friday and so our options for non meat was a bit limited. We got Ginataang Dorada and Tuna (Fish in Coconut Cream), Pancit Miki Bihon (Noodles) and Paella Mixed Seafood. Though our orders were placed quickly. It took quite sometime to get our orders. It took a good hour and we were quite hungry by the time our meals finally came. The Pancit Miki Bihon was beautifully plated but I was definitely surprised with the small portion size. The small portion size was a bit of a bummer as thought the Pancit itself was pretty good in flavor. It has a good mix of veggies with cauliflower and brocolli. The Ginataang Dorada was also an ok dish in terms of flavor. It has lots of beans and some butternut squash. There was definitely more green beans in there than squash. This dish was enjoyable with white rice. We also tried some of their puto; Filipino steamed rice cake. The waitress told us these were freshly made. These were very soft tasty. It was really nice to find Filipino food in Barcelona. The meal was enjoyable though there were some things I wish were a little bit better in terms of this visit. The wait time for food was too long and also thought portion size was a bit small. Despite this; I am still very happy to have enjoyed Filipino food in Barcelona. I've always thought Filipino food should be known worldwide and definitely loved seeing a Filipino spot in the heart of the city.

    An easy to miss location amongst all the sights and stores in the gothic quarter, we ventured out…read moreone night craving some Filipino food and found this place on Yelp. A short walk over from The Rambla and our hotel in the gothic quarter, this place offered friendly service and a taste of home for those looking for authentic Filipino foods as well as those looking to try something new. We had the sigsig, pancit, and lumpia... our usual go to food when trying any new Filipino restaurant and all of them were served up tasty and yummy. The pancit was flavorful, the sigsig was crunchy and spicy. We topped it off with a halo halo which was also very good. Nearing the end of our dinner, a group of Filipinos entered all searching for some comfort food and they ordered a large amount of many dishes, so I assume they found the place after hearing about it from other Filipinos thru the grapevine Definitely a different cuisine than most of the other Spanish restaurants and fast food American places and would recommend a visit !
