They weren't just bartenders to me, they were friends. Even if I were just passing by, Salvatore and Sandra made it a point to say hi. It made me feel comfortable and at home in a city I had lived in for only mere days (I am American). Oh yeah, their drinks at great. They have a terrific selection of cocktails that they make with care and expertise. They take pride in their craft while maintaining an atmosphere of friendliness. It truly is a great place to grab some drinks and make some friends. I would recommend it to anyone, and I hope to be back in Valencia soon to be back there. Mi pub favorito en España. Durante mi visita de dos meses, visité a varios bares buenos, pero la atmósfera y los camareros en ROA era lo mejor. No solo eran camareros, sino amigos buenos. Si estaba pasando por la calle, Salvatore y Sandra me saludaron. Me sentí cómodo en una ciudad bastante nueva a mí (soy Americano). Y las bebidas son superiores. Tienen una selección grande de cocktails que hacen con cuidado y experiencia. También siempre mantienen una atmósfera de amistad. Es un lugar perfecto para beber y conocer a amigos nuevos. Lo recomiendo a cualquiera persona, y espero que puedo regresar a Valencia pronto para ir otra vez. (Mis amigos allí también me ayudaron a aumentar mi nivel de español durante mi visita)

Barcode is touted in all the guide books and blogs as one of the best cocktail bars in Valencia,…read moreand I expected a trendy, snobbish kind of place with a doorman, headphones and a velvet rope. Was I wrong! I guess that isn't the Valencian way. Barcode was casual, warm and seemed very happy that I stepped in to have a cocktail or two. Mind you, I am far from what most folks would call trendy, although I am a very "hip" older gentleman if I do say so myself. However, the bartender engaged me with conversation, mixed me great cocktails, and made me feel very welcome. Barcode is in a rather posh area of town, but this cocktail bar has no airs. Bravo!

Atenea is a local coffee shop/bar/pizza spot. I stumbled upon it wandering around the city. It had…read morea mix of patrons at night... people working on their laptops, families dining, and a couple of tourists (that was me!) showing my remarkable ability to forget every word in Spanish. The service was fantastic. The man working there was very nice. Despite his (unnecessary) apologies for about his English skills, he got us everything we wanted and kindly. I saw that he was great with other customers, including kids, too. He gave the place a great vibe. The food was pretty solid, too. The pizza was tasty and had a perfect crust. They had several beers on tap. And the after dinner coffee wasn't bad, either. And, at least compared to the places closer to tourist havens, the prices were pretty reasonable. I left pretty happy that Atenea was the place I happened upon when I was getting hungry. It seems like a great place for a lot.

This bar came recommended to me as the best place to try an Agua de Valencia cocktail. Apparently,…read morethey are the originators of the city's namesake drink. It's located in a hotel, which normally isn't my thing but I feel like some of my favorite bars in Spain are connected to a hotel. The vibe is classy but casual, kind of a throwback to a vintage era. The vibe was nice, not too crowded at the time I went (6/7pm). Cocktails were great! Fun, specialty cocktails created based on the different regions of Spain; but also the classics available on the menu. In typical fashion, servers brought me some little snacks with my drinks, which I enjoyed as I people watched and hung out. Located in a cute area with additional restaurants, bars and points of interest nearby. A must visit when in Valencia.

We were there mid-afternoon and they weren't busy. Service was ok. Ambience must have looked better in the 1950s. (I'm guessing it looks better at night.) Agua de Valencia was perfectly fine but not life changing. It was nice to sit down for and take a break from touristing.

Arriving without a reservation on a Saturday, we were seated without a wait; service was welcoming, quick, and very friendly. Tip: The starter we chose (with advice from our server) was the steamed mussels. As our server had said, we found that a single portion was more than enough for two to share. We also enjoyed several cocktails with our meal that day; my favorite by far was the Pumpkin amuse - delicious! For our main, we shared the fillet of ray (tronco rodaballo). This dish was beautiful to look at, with a taste profile that bordered on distilled awesomeness :-) Bottom line: Fabulous views, excellent service, and wonderful food made our experience here one that I look forward to repeating. While the prices for bread, wine, and coffee were a bit on the high side, the overall cost of our meal was more than reasonable given the quality of the food and the service.

The waiters blatantly ignore their customers and when they do talk to you they ignored me to my FACE. I asked for a margarita and the waiter WALKED AWAY.

The workers are extremely rude and the service is HORRIBLE. do not come here no matter WHAT.
