Boadas

Cocktail Bar / Historic Bar

Party Earth Review Although situated just off the main Las Ramblas thoroughfare, Boadas is rumored to be the very first cocktail bar in Spain, so it would be hard to dismiss it as just another tourist trap. The venue was opened in 1933 by Miguel Boadas, who cut his teeth working at Ernest Hemingway’s favorite Havana haunt, La ... more

Guru (Barri Gòtic)

Cocktail Bar

Party Earth Review Not to be confused with the rambunctious bar with the same name on Nou de la Rambla, this Guru bar is an altogether more refined, low-key venue. A smiling Buddha in the window greets customers as they arrive, while inside, the ornate sofas, piles of plush cushions, somber browns and deep red tones, and burning incense create ... more

Dry Martini Bar

Cocktail Bar / Restaurant

Party Earth Review Waiters in white tuxedos, racing-green leather sofas, and a whiff of cigar smoke greet customers at the Dry Martini Bar, a traditional cocktail joint that has garnered an impressive reputation thanks to the quality of the drinks and of the food at the adjoining Speakeasy restaurant. Row upon row of martini, spirit, and ... more

Miramelindo

Cocktail Bar

Party Earth Review Full of class and character, Miramelindo is a dark rustic tavern where smooth jazz keeps the mood mellow during the week and chatty Spaniards keep it lively on the weekends. Hardwood floors, a piano by the fireplace, and soft lighting all contribute to a homey atmosphere downstairs, while wicker chairs on the carpeted mezzanine ... more

Sugar

Cocktail Bar

Party Earth Review Tucked away on a side street in the Barri Gòtic area is a little red gem called Sugar. It’s all about the cocktails at this sweet bar, and the list of specialties written in chalk on the ceiling are well worth the neck strain. Sugar’s simple but enticing décor of baroque murals, erotic artwork, and twinkling lights contributes ... more

Barcelona is known as a major party city and the cocktail bars live up to that reputation by serving incredible drinks, inviting all comers, and staying open really, really late.

Depending on what kinds of drinks you’re looking for, the cocktail bars in Barcelona can provide a great deal of variety. And we’re not just talking about sangria, but intricately made concoctions filled with fresh fruits, bitters, aged liquor, and more.

One of the best Barcelona cocktail bars is the Dry Martini Bar. This L'Eixample staple arguably makes the best martinis in town and gives its clientele a refined drinking experience complete with white tuxedoed waiters and racing-green leather sofas.

Another great cocktail bar is Guru in Barri Gòtic. Not to be confused with the rowdy Las Ramblas Guru, this low-key and refined bar serves inventive mixed drinks, great food, and makes for a swanky date spot.

If you’re looking for more than just your typical mojitos and caipirinhas, check out one of the great cocktail bars in Barcelona where expert mixologists can whip up anything you like and if it turns out really good, you can go ahead and name the drink after yourself.
