    (Translated by Google) We come here because the review puts Barcelona's best mojito and the mojito is very bad. It only tastes like rum, it doesn't have the taste of traditional mojito, without straws at 9:30 p.m. Bad experience. I would not repeat. (Original) Venimos aqui porque en la reseña pone mejor mojito de barcelona y el mojito esta malisimo. Unicamente sabe a ron, no tiene el sabor del mojito tradicional, sin pajitas a las 21:30 de la noche. Mala experiencia. No repetiria.

    Visiting from the states and stopped in because of all of the positive reviews. Well my experience was far from positive....Waited for about five minutes after asking to be served only to be told by the blond haired bartender that “I can only concentrate on one customer at a time”. I wasn’t demanding with my request for a drink. Actually asked “when you get a minute if you can please...” I understand being busy, but her body language told another story. I’ve traveled all over the world and bartenders have always been attentive and able to multi-task under the busiest circumstances. All good we found a better bar who was extremely busy but was 10 times more attentive. (Thank you DUX Barcelona)

    BY FAR, The best gin bar I've ever been to!!!! The man and woman working last night were EXQUISITE, TALENTED, FRIENDLY AND SO KIND!!! He actually created a lemon mojito for me because I love lemons so much. So grateful for the talent, service and ambiance of this establishment. We cannot wait to come back. This place is TOP NOTCH.

    (Translated by Google) 4 euros for the mojito seems to me expensive for how bad the alcohol was (Original) 4 euros por el mojito me parece hasta caro para lo malo que era el alcohol

    My story with this place is a bit mixed. 4 years ago I was traveling through Barcelona on my way to Brazil (and had to spend a night in Barcelona because of a missed connection). That night I ended up walking around the city till late and at some point entered Rubi quite accidentally. The place was almost empty with just a few customers and super welcoming bartenders. I ended up spending there a couple of hours having long conversations with the friendly bartenders about their life in Barcelona, its surroundings, my trip and other very random things. At the end of the night it turned out the bar was cash only and I had no cash on me. No problems, bartenders told me where an ATM was and fully trusted that I’d come back (which I did 10 or so minutes later) Fast rewind: I am back in Barcelona in 2019, found this bar again and walked into a disappointment. The girls at the bar are very indifferent. Their body language and their words make me feel they would not care if I were there or not. Very bad services. They did not want to open a tab and made me pay for the drink immediately. It’s like you came back to see an old friend and find out that he has turned into an a**hole meanwhile. Disappointing. The drinks are still good though.

    Very cool and original place for G&Ts. Situated in the heart of Born, the cute little bar is a perfect for a date or an easy night out. Good drinks and chill atmosphere, the staff is friendly and helpful. It’s also very reasonably priced. The drinks are from 8€ to 12€.

    They have wide variety of Gin and tonics. Prices starting with 7 Euro (+1 Euro tonic). I would definitely recommend to try this Bar if you are in this area. Staff was very nice and explained us properly the concept of this bar.

    They no longer make gin tonics with their own gin. The owners changed. Now it's just a boring bar with gins from around the world, but there are no exotics, just more or less basic stuff. Sad. This used to be THE place for me during my trips for more than 10 years. Not anymore.

    (Translated by Google) Disgusting mojito, I only tasted like bad alcohol super strong and bitter. They had no straws, not even cardboard. Mojito without straw? (Original) Mojito asqueroso, solo sabia a alcohol malo super fuerte y amargo. No tenian pajitas, nisiquiera de carton. Mojito sin pajita??

    Th elarge selection of alcohols, like beers, drinks, gins. Small bar with an interesting atmosphere.Unfortunately there are no table outside the bar.

  • 5/5 michyun o. 2 years ago on Google
    I went here by myself one night bc I love gin and tonics and it's an actual gin bar!! I've never seen a gin bar in the states. I loved the jinzu and rose lemonade, one of the recommended drinks. I ended up coming back two nights later with friends and they really enjoyed their cocktails too, all gin and tonic adjacent drinks. The bartender was very knowledgeable and good at recommendations. He even told me one gin was not worth trying which honestly is fantastic.

  • 5/5 Björn W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very delicious Gin! They will recommend you good stuff according to your liking if you are overwhelmed with the election of Gins. Highly recommend this place!

    Great mojito, not expensive at all. Nice red illumination and nice people!

  • 5/5 Benjamin O. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely little Dive Bar, hidden in an alley, in the middle of the Gothic quarter. Great place to go if you love Gin. Gets a bit tight in there but, I loved the swanky vibe.

  • 5/5 Rodolfo von R. 2 years ago on Google
    The absolutely best gin bar in Barcelona and maybe Europe. A carnival of red interior and cozy atmosphere. They treat gin like a science and measure the exquisite ingredients of each glass they pour. I usually ask the bartender for her or his recommendation, and it never disappoints. The prices are fair for what you get and the bar is a nice place to sit and stare at the incredible selection of spirits on the wall.

  • 4/5 Eliise P. 1 year ago on Google
    I like this place. It a bit hidden but then again thats what makes it a cool place. The drinks were good and they have a wide selection of cocktails to choose from.

  • 4/5 Leonardo 2 years ago on Google
    One of my favourite places to have a Gin-tonic. The bar has a spectacular atmosphere, an intimate sphere with good music and a great variety of drinks except for beers. The service is excellent and it's my go-to place to start the night. Cheers!

  • 4/5 Laura z. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The bar is very nice, the music great, the waitresses lovely, but the mojito of 4 euros of terrifying offer: little ice, a lot of alcohol, little sugar and on top they mix it in a cocktail shaker, a meaningless 🤣 but good to catch you a cheap drunkenness it's great. The gin and tonics very good. We will be back! 🤗 (Original) El bar es muy bonito, la musica genial, las camareras encantadoras, pero el mojito de 4 euros de oferta terrorífico: poco hielo, mucho alcohol, poco azucar y encima lo mezclan en coctelera, un sin sentido 🤣 pero bueno para pillarte una borrachera barata esta genial. Los gin tonics muy buenos. Volveremos! 🤗

    My end of the day bar when I've been at Barcelona for more than two weeks. Many gin and tonic and flavor combinations, sooo friendly staff. Dreamy location. Best way to end the day, I only wish they were open every day.

  • 5/5 Donna B. 7 months ago on Google
    Super cozy and vibey place. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Someone threw eggs at one of the customers outside so I advise you to mind the neighbors. Would definitely recommend if you’re into different kinds of g&ts!

    Nice bar. Different cocktails based on gin to have. Cool decorations. The bartenders are friendly and easy to talk. Highly recommended!!!

  • 4/5 Sohrab G. 4 years ago on Google
    Very intimate gin bar that has a wide variety of delicious gin-based drinks. Not much of a gin drinker, until I came to Rubi. It's modestly furnished, nothing fancy but gets the job done. It's great for medium sized groups, or just a one on one with your special someone. Definitely coming again when I'm back in Barcelona.

  • 5/5 Luis N. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Vallu H. 4 years ago on Google
    Sake mojito all the way😋 seeing all the bad service reviews I tend to disagree. The girls are locals who simply are themselves, not acting up to be all excited about customers etc. Expectations for service are so high these days..

    (Translated by Google) Great authentic bar. Prices do not bite. People who go there too. Inside there is a red light throughout, so be prepared for it. The bar is varied, there is a kitchen with a small selection. Girls, try cava is just a must)) (Original) Отличный автентичный бар. Цены не кусаются. Люди, которые туда ходят - тоже. Внутри красная подсветка по всей территории, так что будьте к этому готовы. Бар разнообразный, есть кухня с небольшим выбором. Девушки, попробовать каву просто обязательно))
