We stopped here before dinner at Pizzeria Pepe's next door. We ordered drinks, some off the happy…read morehour menu (which is the same as the Acqua Bar happy hour) and some not. All in all, a glass of red wine, a gin and tonic, a daiquiri, and an Old Fashioned.
I had the Old Fashioned. I order it quite often, mainly because it's not a drink most places get right and so I try and find the few ones that do. This one does. It was one of the best Old Fashioneds (what would be the plural of Old Fashioned?) I've had and definitely the best in continental Europe that I've tried.
The bar itself is visually spectacular, probably the best-looking bar on the Arenal, and the prices are more than reasonable for what you're getting.
4 stars (standard) - 0 (nothing bad) + 1 (great cocktails) = 5 stars
