The Best Bars in Barcelona, Spain
START
The best spots for a night to (mostly) remember.
Curated cocktails, gorgeous rooftops, secret speakeasies, and everything in between: Barcelona covers a lot of seriously impressive ground when it comes to watering holes. Sure, this beautiful Spanish city is known for its lengthy winemaking history. But it’s also a top city for cocktail lovers and craft beer aficionados, as well as anyone simply looking to sit down in a cool setting and enjoy a drink.
You’ll find most of Barcelona’s coolest bars around Las Ramblas, El Born, and The Gothic Quarter. But look a little deeper, and you’ll find unique bars hidden away down side streets and behind inconspicuous-looking stores. Read on for all of our favorite bars in Barcelona.

Bar Brutal
Think “kid in a candy store” but the wine-filled version, and you’ll have a good overview of Bar Brutal. Here, the walls are lined with bottles of all eras, worlds, and colors. Bar Brutal features more than 300 different wines, all sourced from organic and biodynamic producers. Better yet, they’re all sold at reasonable prices. It’s also a great place to go if you’re looking for something a little more unique: you’ll find plenty of locally sourced wines here making good use of Spanish grapes. When you’re done drinking, it’s time to dig into Bar Brutal’s tapas menu. Large portions, quick service, and mouth-watering dishes make this spot perfect for all occasions.
2 OF 11
Dr. Stravinsky
Designed to look like an old-fashioned pharmacy and serving up a menu of almost exclusively its own cocktails, Dr. Stravinsky is a feast for all the senses. After you’ve taken in the rich red walls, the backlit bar of sparkling flasks, and the mastery going on in front of you, you’ll be treated to a one-of-a-kind drink mixed up according to your unique preferences.
Follow the map in front of you to create a shortlist of flavors and leave the rest to the mixologists. This is a bar that books up quickly, so you’ll want to arrive early if coming with a larger group. But it’s worth taking the time out since Dr. Stravinsky’s unique final touches and relaxed atmosphere ensures it makes plenty of the “world’s best bars” list every year.

Boadas
You’ll immediately step back in time when you enter Boadas, a speakeasy-style traditional cocktail bar with a carefully curated menu and an old-school vibe. Boadas is one of the oldest bars in the city and comes with a colorful history to match. It’s a top spot in the city if you’re a fan of cocktails, owned by a cocktail master who learned his skills at Hemmingway’s Floridita Bar in Havana.
It’s also easy to access, just a few moments walk from busy La Rambla but tucked away in such a position that you’ll need to look twice to ensure you don’t miss it. Inside, there’s a good mix of locals and tourists, with walls coated in photographs of past guests as well as hand-written letters and eclectic artwork.
4 OF 11
Ohla Chillout Terrace
Ohla Chillout Terrace sits on the top floor of the prestigious Ohla hotel and comes with a menu and clientele to match. Undoubtedly one of Barcelona’s best rooftop bars—especially if you’re looking for beautiful, central views over the city—Ohla Chillout Terrace is relaxed and spacious, a place designed for enjoying a chilled glass of wine as the sun sets. As it’s part of a five-star hotel, you can expect both good service and good amenities, with complimentary tapas served with each drink and a varied cocktail menu with plenty of non-alcoholic options, too. Visit during the daytime to make use of the glass-walled swimming pool or spend a few hours tanning on the white sun loungers.
A backdrop of soft music and the glow of the city lights makes this one of Barcelona’s most romantic bars, for sure.

5 OF 11
Clubhaus
Clubhaus is a mixture of a bar, a restaurant, a (secret) club, and an art gallery. This large space covers a lot of ground—literally and metaphorically—and caters to the younger crowd with loud music and an equally loud menu. It’s easy to spend a whole evening exploring Clubhaus, making good use of the varied menu while bartenders go into rich detail about each ingredient used. The expansive, double-height space gives Clubhaus a relaxed appeal with two floors of activities and street-food-inspired tapas to enjoy with your drinks. Visit during the week for attentive service and a deeper understanding of what goes into each cocktail.
Visit during the weekend for a more raucous setting with louder music and an enthusiastic crowd.

Cecconi’s
By day, Cecconi’s is a stylish Italian restaurant inside Barcelona’s Soho House, filled with hand-stuffed pasta and oversized bar stools. By the time the sun goes down, it comes with a whole other type of charm. You’ll still see those dangly chandeliers and oversized, jungle-esque plants, but you’ll admire them with a delicious cocktail in hand. As you might expect from a prestigious Italian restaurant, drinks here are concocted impressively and carefully, served up in elegant glassware and making good use of traditional, Northern Italian ingredients. Visit on Saturday or Sunday for the ever-popular Weekend Brunch complete with strong Bloody Mary.
Or, come along for a weeknight dinner to soak up the stunning decor and enjoy your drinks at the bar with a side of seafood.
7 OF 11
Paradiso
Paradiso doesn’t just offer drinks; it also teaches you how to make them. You can order your cocktails (or wine or beer) here with a side of mixologist class in an almost otherworldly setting with moody lighting and intriguing ingredients. Often called one of the best bars in the world, Paradiso serves up imaginative food and drink pairings (like the Pickle Fizz cocktail served with the Pastrami Bar dishes) in an industrial, dimly lit setting. You’ll spot elements of surprise from start to finish at Paradiso, like the Universo menu, which lights up in the dark, and the mini dry ice volcano, which explodes from a number of the drinks available to order. And then there’s the Supercool Martini, a drink that manages to grow its own iceberg in front of you.

8 OF 11
The Pulitzer Terrace
The Pulitzer Terrace is part of the Pulitzer Hotel: a fashionable rooftop bar designed for lengthy, balmy evenings in the city with close friends.
Spacious and welcoming, it attracts a large crowd every night and promises gorgeous rooftop views across Barcelona. The Pulitzer Terrace is based next to Plaza Catalunya, and its central location makes it a popular spot every night of the week. There’s live music during the weekdays and international DJs from Thursday to Sunday. It’s also a great spot for food, with artisan cheese boards, tapas, international dishes, and even its own BBQ. Word of warning: you can’t book a table at The Pulitzer Terrace, so it’s best to arrive early to get a good seat.
9 OF 11
Bobby’s Free
Turn up at Bobby’s Free, and you’ll be forgiven for thinking you’ve got the wrong address. This speakeasy bar disguises itself as a barbershop, with a subtle facade and ever-changing password that you’ll have to navigate to enter. Prohibition-themed decor sets the scene for this mysterious spot, with an excellent G&T menu and a twenties vibe throughout. You won’t find anything conventional, and that extends to the glassware: you’re just as likely to receive your drink in a delicate china cup as you are in a miniature plant pot or an etched, metal tiki shaker.

Bar Mariatchi
Small but ever so friendly, Bar Mariatchi is the definition of unpretentious. Vibrant and colorful, you’ll spot its namesake mariachi theme as soon as you step inside, with multi-colored walls, music-inspired paintings, and joyful background sounds. Sure, it’s not somewhere you’d pick out for a fancy cocktail or two. But if you’re looking for a relaxed beer or glass of wine with friends, Bar Mariatchi is the perfect spot. Set in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, Bar Mariatchi’s cheap prices will put you in a good mood even if the cheerful atmosphere somehow doesn’t manage to. If you’re lucky, you might even get the chance to watch one of the spontaneous musical performances that occasionally spring up here.

Bar Marsella
Bar Marsella was Barcelona’s very first bar and opened up shop back in 1820. Over time, it’s welcomed thousands of guests ranging from Picasso to Hemingway and comes with a reputation to match. Don’t be fooled by its oversized chandeliers above: Bar Marsella isn’t fancy or polished; it comes with a more understated appeal, complete with faded posters on the walls and mismatching floor tiles. Instead, it’s a place that sticks to what it knows, right through to its unique absinthe that it originally sourced, secretly, from Paris. Based in El Raval, it’s fair to say that Bar Marsella has a vibrant past. But it’s one you’ll want to experience at least once during your time in Barcelona.
Try the bar’s unique absinthe ritual if you’re feeling brave, complete with a sugar lump.

If you haven’t had a drink at Boadas, you haven’t had a drink in Barcelona. Miguel Boadas, born to Catalan parents in Havana, founded it in 1933, and his daughter, Maria Dolors, carried on the teachings of the modern cocktail bar in Spain. This is no relic, but rather a magnetic spot where the you can absorb local history in the company of unbeatable cocktails.
Order any classic that comes to mind for an excellent result, whether it’s an addictive Moscow Mule or an impeccable dry martini. And if you can’t decide, ask the bar staff to make you a custom design.

4. El Paradiso

- Cocktail bars
- El Gòtic
El Paradiso got in on the clandestine-bar craze, but it doesn’t hide behind a false façade. Its front is Pastrami Bar, where you can actually get a mean pastrami sandwich. But behind an easy-to-spot wooden fridge door, you’re transported into El Paradiso – a speakeasy that’s not just any cocktail bar. This is an elegant cave lined with wooden slats where Giacomo Gianotti was awarded best cocktail mixologist in Spain in 2014. You’ll find outrageous items like a re-distilled whiskey, where they separate the old part of the whiskey that has a woody taste and use it to make a tea sorbet. You drink it, and as it melts with the alcohol, the whiskey ages!

- L’Antiga Esquerra de l’Eixample
When you cross the threshold at this premium cocktail bar, you’ll feel like you’re stepping into one of the sumptuous and elegant bars where James Bond himself might order a martini before seducing a dozen women and killing as many terrorists. Vintage sofas, a stately wooden bar, liquid gold and exquisite decorating taste are the ingredients that go into making this such a superb cocktail bar. Here they stick to the classics, but what a Bloody Mary! What a gin fizz! And if you’re feeling adventurous, give the bartender a few hints about what you like and you’ll get a drink made just for you.

- Eixample
Welcome to this warm little corner of the city, where you’ll find yourself surrounded by furniture made from ancient wood, and possibly more than a few clients boasting ties and lush moustaches.
The great Josep Maria Gotarda is a real master in art and science of the cocktail. He dismembers the bottles, dissects the shaker, does whatever it takes to create the perfect concoction. Gotarda and his disciples whip up high-flying G&Ts and work miracles with traditional recipes. In fact, his cosmopolitan will have your rewatching the entire collection of ‘Sex and the City’, and the Moscow Mule can reanimate the dead.

price 3 of 4
In the pleasantly cool, shadowy interior of Can Cisa, you can appreciate the care that’s gone into the restoration of a neighbourhood bar. Their reverence for the tradition of buying wine from the barrel, plus some local pressure, persuaded them to combine a classic bodega at the entrance, with a wine bar at the back.
They stock 300 wines, all from organic or bio-dynamic producers around the world, without chemicals or additives, at accessible prices. Ask for recommendations if you’re overwhelmed. You won’t be disappointed.

price 1 of 4
This bar’s tributes to Catalan author Pere Calders is not limited to its name. You’ll also find them in the books available and even on the menu of nibbles, featuring Mexican dishes, in memory of Calders’ involuntary exile to that country, such as guacamole, nachos and quesadillas. The draught beer flows freely, but you’ve got to try the vermouth. A glass of the house variety is very nice indeed and won’t even set you back two euros. And the menu of vermouth cocktails is impressive. Try the one with cranberry juice and gin. Incidentally, the outdoor terrace is one of the area’s jewels: You’ll just keep coming back.

If you’ve got a sophisticated palate, you won’t want to miss a visit to Monvínic, a wine bar/restaurant that has become iconic over the years. Even more so since Ariadna Julian took over in a kitchen that cooks up exquisite dishes in every sense. But you’re here for your wine, and that’s certainly what you’ll get. Among some 3,000 varieties, the staff, led by award-winning sommelier Isabelle Brunet, serves glasses (and half glasses) of between 40 and 50 wines from around the globe. If you’re feeling peckish, but not up for a full meal in the restaurant, the bar offers tapas by Chef Julian to pair with the wines.

-
price 1 of 4
On this spot in the Born they’ve rejuvenated the old Gimlet bar with a tribute to fictional detective Philip Marlowe.
They’ve kept the wonderful bar itself, and applied sober and elegant colours that bring to mind the ambience of Marlowe’s world. The cocktails, however, are from another galaxy. Sure, they make a gimlet just like Marlowe drank, but there are also signature varieties that are delicate, imaginative, perfectly balanced and served in a chilled martini glass. The Sol y Sombra, with basil, bergamot orange, pisco and Italicus, is pure art. But the most curious is La Mirada de Marlowe: you tell the bartender about yourself and he makes you a drink that suits your personality.

price 1 of 4
This monumental brewery boasts 30 taps, 10 of them dedicated to the house beer, Naparbier. The other 20 are all international and feature every style of beer, lager, ale, stout, etc., on the market.
If you love curiosities, BierCab’s cellar has a selection of bottles that will leave you stunned. They also serve good food, with dishes like sea bass ceviche, Wagyu tartare with Naparbier beer sorbet, and Belgian-style mussels. For other more traditional Catalan fare, try the hand-cut ham or some nicely spicy patatas bravas.

12. Dos Billares

- El Raval
-
price 2 of 4
When you enter the catacombs of Casa Camper, you’re faced with what looks like a clandestine Hollywood cocktail bar from the 1950s. Two American billiards tables in impeccable condition preside, the cues hung on the wall, the balls perfectly arranged on the cloth. Lithographs and paintings surround this speakeasy and lead the drinker’s gaze to the pulpit that is the bar. If you’re up for it, the bartender, who dispenses with the menu and prefers to get to know his clients’ likes and dislikes, will serve you a wasabi Bloody Mary that will send your eyes toward the heavens.
With a flick of his wrist he may then pull from his hat a strawberry cocoa with vodka and a pinch of chocolate. And the guy gets it right every time.

13. El Vaso de Oro

price 2 of 4
If you like your beer, this could be your new favourite bar. They pour the best draught beer you’re likely to get in Barcelona and, dare we say, the whole of Spain. Waves of liquid gold (the name of the bar means ‘glass of gold’) are expertly crowned by a cloud of glorious foam. Everything about the beer (its storage, handling and pouring) is a point of great pride. And when you’re hungry, know that you’re in one of Barceloneta’s great classic tapas bars. Elbow in a space at the bar and shout out your order, whether you’re in the mood for ‘patatas bravas’, Padrón peppers, Russian salad, or more from the nearby sea such as prawns, clams, fried squid.

- Gràcia
This ‘Bad Cat’ bar with is one of the best-kept secrets in the Gràcia neighbourhood. Friendly prices, generosity when it comes to the tapas – you even get a free one with every drink you order – tall draught beers, huge G&Ts, and a special warmth. You won’t be disappointed by the tapas and pintxos: they use top raw materials and everything is cooked just as it should be. Be sure to try the ‘escalivada’ with goat’s cheese or the home-made ravioli.

The accumulated experience from investigating, visiting, and reviewing bars and wine cellars in their blog ended up paying off for a group of friends who went hunting for bars with character.
The first and most tangible was with the opening of their own vermouth house in the Eixample district, which immediately filled with thirsty punters. Small and always lively, this tavern has become a temple to the aperitif, where they also serve a well-poured cold beer and scrumptious snacks (do not pass up the tinned treats!).

16. La Tieta
- Bars and pubs
- El Poble-sec
La Tieta is just a place with a marble bar that offers good wine, bottles of vermouth and an endless flow of draught beer. You won’t find any classics on the wine list – this week they’re in love with Mallorcan wine, and next week they’re crazy about Galician wine. There’s nothing unusual here, no secret, just good traditional food made from fresh ingredients and with skill and enthusiasm. Chickpeas with prawns, tasty potato omelette, mushrooms with garlic and parsley, amazing olives – the problem is knowing where to start.

OK, so Paris has its pavement bars and quaint lampposts. But we’ve got bodegas like Tano’s. A door covered in stickers, marble tables, the smell of long-gone cigars still somehow lingering, and the young woman with the Sunday paper under her arm who chats away as she sips on her vermouth and snacks on anchovies, olives and cockles. Order the house vermouth and you’ll be smiling all day, and they also serve an excellent Perucchi, straight up or over ice with lemon and an olive if you ask nicely. If your friends aren’t fans of vermouth, there’s plenty of cold beer on the go as well.

18. Psycho

- El Poble-sec
This is a real rock and roll bar, founded by people like Charly Raw, who have done nearly everything there is to do in the industry (promoters, journalists, salespeople .
..). It’s a favourite among those about to party at Sala Apolo after a few drinks. As for the music, they play all the good stuff: from Sly & the Family Stone to the Dead Boys.

When you enter the Mandarín Oriental Hotel you’re hit with an overdose of Kubrickian symmetry – straight lines and retrofuturistic lights stretch out to the lobby and lead you to Banker’s Bar, a refuge for gourmet drinkers, decorated with exquisite taste. Elegant, warm, sensual, and with a ceiling made of safes, this space with sober, metallic tones often offers informal food pairings from some of the best chefs on the planet, and the cocktails on offer are out of this world. The creative cocktails are poetic and breathe life into a parade of delights the chef whips up, including tuna ceviche, beef nigiris, ‘tiraditos’, makis, ‘butichifas’ and more.

- Les Corts
At La Javanesa, they serve true marvels of mixology, their own recipes and others that they’ve found in the temple of temples to cocktails, the Suffolk Arms in New York. For example, a Dispara y Apunta is made of mezcal, natural pineapple emulsified with five types of pepper and mead for 24 hours, and Bittermens: a smoky and spicy delight. Or a Costra, with origins dating back to 1850, made of brandy, triple sec, maraschino cherry with amaretto, lime juice and a splash of angostura. The owners and operators of La Javanesa say that this is a place where they don’t use measures, just their passion. And it shows.

Where to go in autumn in Barcelona?
Barcelona is the city where you can have a great time at any time of the year – in summer you can sunbathe on the modern Barcelona beaches, in winter you can walk through numerous museums and visit all the monuments of Antonio Gaudí’s architecture, in spring you can walk through flowering parks, and in autumn.
.. We will tell about this below in our selection of interesting places that you can visit in autumn in Barcelona.
Barcelona City Centre.
Barcelona in one day
If you are in the city for the first time, then you have chosen the right time to explore the Catalan capital. In autumn, you can easily visit all of Barcelona’s main attractions in one day and not be afraid of getting sunstroke. Or stay just in the historic city center and explore all the secret corners of Barcelona with a local.
Also, you can buy a ticket for a double-decker red bus in the hop on hop off format. This is a convenient option for exploring the entire city on your own, just get off at the most interesting stops for you. And the best way to get to know the famous city of Catalonia is through its gastronomic world. Embark on a gastro tour of Barcelona’s tapas bars, during which you will not only get acquainted with traditional Catalan dishes, but also visit the places where the artists Gaudí, Picasso and Dali loved to eat.
Gothic Quarter.
The tranquility of the Old Town
When the hot summer comes to an end, many tourists disappear from the streets of Barcelona and you can walk in a relaxed atmosphere in all the famous quarters of the city. First of all, head to the atmospheric Gothic Quarter, the very heart of Barcelona. The oldest quarter of the city boasts an abundance of cathedrals and basilicas, cinematic streets, as well as pleasant terraces and authentic shops.
Explore the Quarter of Discord, made famous by three controversial buildings – Antoni Gaudí’s Casa Batlló, the Amalle family’s “chocolate house” and Leo Morera’s house. And we offer to warm up after autumn evening walks during the drinking tour, which takes place in traditional Catalan bars in the historic center of Barcelona. Having gone on a tour of the main drinking establishments of the city with a local resident, you can be sure that you will not miss anything interesting, and most importantly, learn to drink like true Catalans.
Quarter of Discord.
Barcelona Gaudí
Autumn is one of the best seasons to admire the architecture of the famous Spanish artist Antonio Gaudí. The Barcelona weather is still pleasing with frequent sunshine, and there are already much fewer people than in the summer months. So, you will not be disturbed by kilometer queues at the entrance. Although, we still advise you to purchase tickets in advance online, for example, if you decide to visit Park Güell or the main symbol of Barcelona – the Sagrada Familia Cathedral on your own.
And on a tour with the locals through the atmospheric streets of Barcelona, you will not only see other famous buildings of Gaudi – Casa Mila and Casa Batlló, but also learn mystical legends and extraordinary stories of their creation.
