    Nice cocktail and ambience but a sour taste from this situation: Me and my companion ordered a cocktail each. After we did, the bartender came over and asked if my companion would prefer any particular gin in her drink. She said whichever one the bartender recommends. When it came to paying, the price was higher than on the menu for her drink. When I told the waiter (in the calmest way) that he should have told us about extra cost for premium spirit, he took the extra charge off the bill; but also told me I am impolite (!!!) for not accepting the charge. So... if you want to risk being insulted in an establishment there are better bars around. I don't have a problem paying extra, but this should be made clear beforehand.

    We accidentally discovered this place even though we live very close and it was a great surprise. Welcoming and cosy atmosphere, very friendly staff. Lovely homemade food, I absolute love the aroma from my freshly roasted chicken with plums! Definitely great value for money. We will surely come back!

    (Translated by Google) Nice place in the suggestive San Just square. Very nice and friendly waitresses, good food, nice atmosphere, good music but too loud. Lower the decibels a little and I give you 5 stars !!! (Original) Bel locale nella suggestiva piazzetta San Just. Le cameriere molto gentili e simpatiche, cibo buono, bella atmosfera, buona musica ma a volume troppo alto. Abbassate un po' i decibel e vi do 5 stelle!!!

  • 5/5 Amie B. 2 years ago on Google
    Gorgeous little terrace in the evening with the occasional busker doing some nice music. We stopped for cocktails but after seeing the food ended up having the padron peppers and chicken which were both gorgeous! Looked nice inside when we used the toilet but the outside is a lovely spot.

  • 5/5 Brandon L. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing cocktails, food and service. I thoroughly enjoyed the iberico pork and mushrooms as my main. Definitely one of the best I've had.

    Great cocktail bar! Augustine was amazing. Great drinks, great service, very friendly.

  • 2/5 Dalila D. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Too expensive for what it is (too small quantities in both glasses and plates). Too bad because the frame is nice, and the manager at the top! No soft drink available (even if it is a cocktail bar there can still be soft drinks for pregnant women / children) (Original) Trop cher pour ce que c’est (trop petites quantités tant dans les verres que dans les assiettes). Dommage car le cadre est sympa, et la gérante au top ! Aucune boisson soft dispo (même s’il s’agit d’un cocktail bar il peut quand même y avoir des boissons sans alcool pour femme enceinte/enfants)

    (Translated by Google) A highly recommended place in the Gothic quarter to have a drink with good music and a relaxed atmosphere (Original) Local molt recomanable al barri gótic per fer una copa amb bona música i un ambient relaxat

    Super sweet staff - very welcoming and friendly, but was sadly not a big fan of the drinks - the margarita was way too salty and the mai tai tasted like a screwdriver 🤷🏽‍♀️

  • 5/5 Péter J. 2 years ago on Google
    I highly recommend this bar to everyone. The staff is super friendly. Whatever I tried here was delicious so far. Both drinks (cocktails, shots) and food. The terrace has a special vibe thank to the historical square where it is located.

  • 5/5 David W. 7 years ago on Google
    Great vibe. Very cozy and intimate. Felt right at home walking in the door. Glad we happened upon it walking back to our room. Great music to complete the ambiance.

  • 5/5 viki v. 1 year ago on Google
    Is not just a bar with great cocktails and friendly staff. They also have a VERY DELICIOUS food! A friend of mine suggested me this place a year ago and it is one year already since I am going there once a week :))) I could write a lot about their great chief and the food and the staff. But, I suggest to go and try it on your own. It is worthy and you wont regret - you will want to come back for more! ))))

    Amazing kind of hidden terrace in bcn. Excellent for vermouth. The bar inside is really big and they play music and serve food. I found this place after some time living here. I really recommend this place for a full Barcelona terrace and vermouth experience. Will come back for sure

  • 1/5 M B. 5 months ago on Google
    A MOJITO WITH NO MINT!!! Tried to have a discussion about an actual Mojito containing fresh mint and was told that in Ginger it’s only made with ‘Menta Liquor’ so clearly they have no idea what they’re doing. Also the Old Fashioned was diabolical! It’s a shame that such a nice bar has useless staff with bad attitudes and even worse cocktails! Maybe nip in if you need the toilet but even those are a bit pissy!

  • 5/5 Amber M. 8 months ago on Google
    The best bravas in Barcelona! In a gorgeous little square by a church Ginger is our favourite place for bravas and cañyas, the service is perfect we can’t stop going back!

    Be respectful and you are treated well. I can only speak English (American), but I let my waitress know before attempting Cantalone. (Yes, they do understand South American Spanish)

  • 4/5 Heather Y. 6 years ago on Google
    This bar is very modern and posh. The service was very welcoming and we felt relaxed and comfortable the whole time. Bar is mostly wine focused, with a few tapas dishes that looked a bit pricey. Overall we loved the place and it's vibe.

  • 5/5 Pablo de J. 6 years ago on Google
    W.O.W.... this is overall a classic cocktails place. The atmosphere is romantic and cosy. An amazing place to have real cocktails hosted by professional kind barmen. Totally recommend this place. Ah! They also do Saturdays brunch which are very good as well. 5 out of 5!

  • 5/5 Alex H. 5 years ago on Google
    Great cocktails (we had cosmopolitans and they were brilliant!) lovely atmosphere, even early evening, and good food. Well sized portions and good prices for what you get. Staff are friendly and speak really good English (good for us as we cannot speak Spanish)

  • 5/5 E A. 7 years ago on Google
    This bar can be considered as one of those "secret hotspots". Hidden in one of the alleys in Gothic Quarter, Ginger is by far my favourite cocktail bar around the globe. With the owner coming from the UK, and the staff being locals, Ginger is able to offer lovely, tasty cocktails. Do you want your cocktails sweeter? No problem, the bartender will make you an amazing cocktail. Although there are several different cocktail bars in Barcelona, Ginger is by far the cheapest (one bar offers cocktails for €15, insane!). Lovely music, cozy chairs, and a relaxed atmosphere; this is all you need in a cocktail bar!

  • 1/5 Matthew M. 5 years ago on Google
    Badly decorated, no atmosphere, waitress gave it her best shot but with a venue that's meant to be art deco, it was a losing battle. Would not recommend.

    (Translated by Google) We went to dinner and have a drink. The place is perfect to go with friends or as a couple. Few tables, the kitchen quite good and finally, the possibility of having a drink in the same place. (Original) Fuimos a cenar y tomar una copa. El lugar es perfecto para ir con amigos o en pareja. Pocas mesas, la cocina bastante buena y para acabar, la posibilidad de tomarse una copa en el mismo lugar.

  • 3/5 E. L. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I would have given him four stars because he deserves them, but yesterday I had a negative experience inside me and I expected a detail from the place that did not exist. When something like that happens, they apologize, there were, and they are invited by mere courtesy to the client. It is an unwritten but logical rule in the hospitality industry. (Original) Le hubiera puesto cuatro estrellas porque las merece, pero ayer tuve dentro del local una experiencia negativa ajena a mi y esperaba un detalle por parte del local que no hubo. Cuando pasa algo así, se piden disculpas, que las hubo, y se invita por mera cortesía al cliente. Es una norma no escrita pero lógica en la hostelería.

  • 4/5 Eleazar B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Something expensive, but super tasty and I highly recommend cocktails and if you are not sure which one to choose the same barman asks you a series of questions to find your tastes and choose well (Original) Algo caro, pero súper rico y recomiendo muchísimo los cocktail y si no teneis claro cual escoger el mismo barman te hace una serie de preguntas para dar con tus gustos y elegir bien

    Nice cocktail bar & tapas place. The menu has various local dishes, one that was our favourite is the red wine marinated beef! It is a shame that the allergens are not marked on the menu, so worth to check it with the staff!
