This little neighborhood bar is a wonderful place to gather with friends. Matthias and Guillaume are both charming, and clearly have a passion for unusual infused rums and tequilas. Come in for a unique cocktails, hot dogs, and fun!

Over 30 different types of flavors for rum??? Ohhhh sign me up!! My friend and I stopped in mainly to try a few flavors. Being that we didn't want to be disgustingly drunk from eating on an empty stomach we also had the beef nachos. I had zero expectations for the nachos BUT they were sooo good. Everything was extremely fresh and the cheese used was to die for. There was an awkward moment... when are nachos were ready the bartender put them on the bar and motioned over for us to come and get it. I was confused being that I just saw her walk an order over to a group of guys that had ordered. My look of confusion must of been on my face because before I could even say anything she did make her way from around the bat and bring it to us. For cocktails we had the house drinks in: Tamarind, Pear, Bubble Gum & Mango. Each drink was amazingly crafted with a good balance of alcohol & flavor. This is a small location with bar seating & a few additional tables in the back. It's worth a pop in if in the area.

Hot dog options

Fun little bar located in the Barcelona alleyways of the Gothic District. They specialize in hot dogs and flavored Cuban rums. The bar is tiny and the staff was friendly and quick. The hot dog was really good, just maybe too much bread. If you like hot dogs and or fruitier drinks, definitely visit The Box.

Great Mojito

You would think that a great Mojito for 3,5 Euro is not possible, but this man can do it! He mixes you an awesome Mojito for a very good price! It has everything it needs + the special ingredient you normally use on Cuba. You can feel someone here loves his job. The flavored alcohols in the cupboard make a great impression and the Nachos with Guacamole have been good, too. I would gladly come back here anytime.

This was a nice little tucked away spot. We stumbled upon it and we grateful we did. The hospitality was amazing. The drinks were awesome. They had infused fruit that is definitely worth trying.

This is my favorite bar in the entire world As an expat I make sure to come here as often as I can when I am in Barcelona. It feels like a big welcoming hug when you walk in. This good vibe atmosphere is filled with pink neon lights, pineapple disco balls, cartoons playing on the projector screen, and uplifting Spanish music in the background. What more could you need to start off a good night!? Oh yeah, an amazing happy hour, a huge selection of funky cool rum infused flavors (house made), and a wide selection of delicious food on the menu. One time I had their plate of nachos and a hot dog right after because it's all just soo yummy. The lovely couple that run this bar are delightful as well. Always welcoming and happy to see you. I hope you enjoy this magical place as much as I do. It's good for friendly get togethers, awkward first dates, or if you just want to stuff your face with good food and get drunk...or the other way around.

Matias is one of the most welcoming bartender. We were in Barcelona for only a few days but we had to stop by The Box on our last day after discovering it. Their infused rum house drink are nothing short of spectacular. My fave was the ghost pepper and berry basil mixture was absolutely delectable. They also have several specialty cocktails worth trying. This has quickly become my go to spot in Barcelona and I definitely plan to revisit

The Box and its unusual decoration

One of the best bar we ve been to in one week in Barcelona. The "latin street food" is just delicious, and cheap, cooked in front of your eyes : burritos, nachos, quasadillas.... The cocktails are both original and so good, and cheap as well. The 2 owners (the french bartender and the colombian cook) very friendly and welcoming. To finish, the bar itself is very well decorated and colorful / lightful At the end of the day, just go there and make your own opinion, it s definitely worth it !

Great service and fantastic rum cocktails. Didn't try the hot dogs but I wouldn't miss this place if you're in El Born!

Mojito is the best I've ever had!! Freshly done with mint and limes... cool place off the beaten path. Stopped here after finding another gem Pizza Pazza (amazing pizza), unfortunately, the barmaid said they are closing in 10min (12am) but yelp says they're open till 2:30am :-/

Fun place to take a break…read more Enjoy the scenery and breathe before you continue enjoying all the rest that Barcelona has to offer. This rooftop bar is in the hotel Victor, which also houses a phenomenal restaurant called Mr Porter. I have to say, it's kind of the trifecta. The hotel is nice. Mr Porter's is exquisite! Now back to the Rooftop it's also special and it is unique. The drinks are great. There's a wide selection including specialty drinks. They pour a good stiff drink. No short pours here. The bar has great views, and you can see a Gaudi building right across the street. You can also see Sagrada Família from there. Highly recommended as a short stop and refresher while you're in Barcelona. Enjoy

Our first night in Barcelona we googled rooftop restaurant and found this jewel. Fabulous location…read morein this bustling city. Amazing server, raised in Mexico and worked for Disney in the USA, fabulously hospitable. We wanted a chill place to enjoy a very light dinner, and The Rooftop was perfect. We had non alcoholic ginger beer (Fever Tree label) and hot tea, hummus with beautiful baby carrots, olives, and a salad of diced cucumbers, tomatoes, and a pinch of fresh mint. When it started to rain the servers quickly belied us move to a table under the canopy. Space heaters were nice. We could see one of the Gaudi buildings from our lovely rooftop venue. After dinner we went to the bottom floor, which was full of folks enjoying themselves, playing pool, visiting. Great place.
