Oh man, the cocktail scene in Barcelona is excellent. I’m going to give you three solid spots to try when you hit town.
First up, it’s pretty new and it’s really fun, Collage cocktail bar is funky with a great array of house cocktails thanks to manager Fernando’s innovative creations. Spread over two storeys and stuffed with gorgeous design details such as a beautiful antique tiled bar and on-trend chevron wallpaper, it’s hard to not just sink into one of the comfy leather sofas and spend the night there.
Next, the Caribbean Club, a small bar which stays open late serving Cuban-style cocktails to a wildly-appreciative crowd. Run by a wonderfully hospitable husband and wife team this has a phenomenal back bar, dazzling vintage soda siphon collection, and a thrilling barrel-aged cocktail program. Try the Negroni Chignon a dangerously drinkable concoction of tequila, mezcal, campari and vermouth.
Lastly, Boadas, the oldest cocktail bar in Barcelona which opened in 1933, the gentlemen behind the bar wear James Bond-style tuxedos and bow ties and mix up classic cocktails with style. Drink like Hemingway in this Art Deco treasure.
