    This bar is a warm and cozy gem in the heart of the Gothic neighborhood. I’ve met so many people here that ended up being friends for life :) Amazing Cuban music and a variety of tasty cocktails, from sweet to sour to dry. See you there!!

    This is our favorite place in the Gothic Quarter! The cocktails are amazing and always improving the tastes. Before Covid they had live Music every day and the best ambience. The bartender is cool and you can ask him for a song (the song must match the mood of course 😉) You’ll love this place I can assure! 💙💙

    Absolutely in love. Their music is what made me fall in love with this place. It only helps that Ellie (the owner) is an absolute charm. She makes you fall in love with her journey and the place. Florencia (Floaty) who performs live will transport you to another realm with that all that emotion and passions she puts into her singing. If you're a lone traveller looking for good music and a friend - go to Idea!

    An excellent place to spend a pleasant time, enjoy a good cocktail and an exquisite night, the live music will make you vibrate, I sincerely recommend it.

  • 5/5 Virginia geryvirg g. 2 years ago on Google • 32 reviews
    I came in by chance and was delighted. Charming and small bar with live music and some great cocktails. It is obvious that the mixologist is a great expert at his job. On the other hand, I was pleasantly surprised that I think it is the only place I have ever been to, where the staff strictly complies with COVID regulations. Totally recommendable

(Original) Obligé de laisser un commentaire au vu du sourire et de la bonne humeur communicante du barman!!!!!! Il fait du bien de trouver ça a Barcelone...live musique au top!!!

    We had amazing service and listened to great local artists live! What a way to begin our Barcelona trip! The owner was working the bar and gave us excellent advice about other places to check out! GO HERE! (If you’re looking for a local experience, this place is a must see.)

    Amazing place to spend an evening with friends! Live music ? good vibes!

  • 5/5 T.N. 5 years ago on Google
    One of the best bars not just in Spain...but all of Europe. Big call, but settle in with a drink and you'll know why. Live music every night and a totally welcoming vibe. Young and old, solo and groups. The barman/owner is Andris, he makes world class drinks and cocktails and will make you feel at home. Had a few incredible nights here and met some amazing friends.

  • 5/5 Rob F. 4 years ago on Google
    We were there from opening until closing! We had the best Nachos. I would go back just for the Nachos

    Perfect. Great bands and drinks. Wonderful place to hang out and sing/dance.

  • 5/5 Rachel R. 2 years ago on Google
    My friend and I went for supper at Alcoba Azul and on our way back we stumbled upon this hidden gem. The cocktails were original and made to suit our tastes- ‘The Margot’ was a particular favourite (invented by the owner). The owner was charismatic and incredibly welcoming - could not recommend this place more highly.

  • 5/5 Nicola M. E. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Eric W. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice vibe, enjoyed the beer I had there. They had live music too when we went on a Saturday night which was nice. It's little cramped for sure but a good spot for 2-3 people to go and chat.

  • 5/5 Sandra V. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) My favorite place in Barcelona without a doubt. The best Mojitos in the city Live music every day Unparalleled service The place is tiny but it does not lack charm. Andris will make you feel part of the family, with his mojitos, craft beers and local music, you won't want to leave. Super recommended! (Original) Mi lugar favorito de Barcelona sin lugar a dudas. Los mejores Mojitos de la ciudad Música en directo cada día Servicio inigualable El lugar es pequeñito pero no le falta encanto. Andris te hará sentir parte de la familia, con sus mojitos, cervezas artesanales y la música del lugar, no querrás marcharte. Súper recomendable !

  • 1/5 Jordi C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) They only have 4 types of beer (nothing special) and they are very expensive. I don't understand how they only have € 1 of price range. On top something unfriendly staff. (Original) Solo tienen 4 tipos de cerveza (nada especiales) y son carísimas. No entiendo como solo tienen 1-€ de rango de precio. Encima personal algo antipático.

    (Translated by Google) Very cool atmosphere and good cocktails (Original) Ambiente muy guay y cocteles buenos

  • 3/5 Laura B. 4 years ago on Google
    Music was great. Had a fun time. However I'm fairly certain the bar tender took advantage of me because he charged me €14 euro for two beers. He said €7 euro at first and I took out a 20 and then he goes "oh actually you got two so it's €14" I didn't think anything of it until later in the evening, but I'm assuming that this tiny bar isn't charging that much for beer. If they are, then I apologize....and will say that this place has crazy expensive beer compared to the rest of Spain.

  • 5/5 Gabriel M. 4 years ago on Google

(Original) Várias opções de cerveja pra quem é fã! Coquetéis e tapas muito bons também. No dia que fui, estava rolando um jazz la epoque, show de bola!

  • 1/5 Timo E. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice little bar. Exorbitant priced for beer. 8,50€ per 500ml is more than you would ever expect. We were quite astonished when we got the receipt. Somewhat weird pricing and overall price politics. Would not recommend and wound rate zero/five stars if possible. There are plenty nice and better bars around. Total tourist trap. Go visit another place

  • 1/5 Dominik G. 4 years ago on Google
    Very bad place, the only beer that was not even ordered was charged for 8.5 euros. We ordered one beer, for what you assume maximum 4,5 euros. #touristtrap #pirate

  • 5/5 Raul C. 3 years ago on Google
    Really nice live music and atmosphere made by the bands - they do nice show. I see some reviewers mention price. For me it didn’t seem so pricey for what they offer. Keep in mind that they sustain local bands

  • 1/5 Ivan Bolancé L. 4 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Mariana B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately I can not leave a good review since they had no payment on card, and they did not notify him either. Being that in other occasions the bar did accept card. Unpleasant situation. And very expensive beer !! 6eur the glass. (Original) Lamentablemente no puedo dejar buena review ya que no tenían pago c on tarjeta, y tampoco lo avisaron. Siendo que en otras ocasiones el bar sí aceptaba tarjeta. Desagradable situación. Y cerveza muy cara!! 6eur el vaso.
