    Cozy cocktail bar with great music, excellent service and delicious cocktails that go for an affordable €10. They have signature cocktails as well as some on tap, and they’re all great. A lot of the cocktails are infused with spices in a way that enhances their flavors. Trust me the spices aren’t overpowering - they mixed everything perfectly! We’ve been here a few times and love the curry cocktail, espresso cocktail and adore the chimichurri popcorn that they serve too.

    Good cocktails, standard barcelona prices 11-16€. Chicano cocktail was interesting but in a good way. Nice atmosphere, bit hit inside, and we were a bit squeezed to the people next to us, but overall, nice experience. Would return to try other cocktails.

    This review will be simple and transparent just like the establishment. No flash or embellishment as this intimate old school cocktail lounge experience stands on it own. Very knowledgeable and friendly bartenders. World class drinks. The Tono - their version of the old fashioned is made with perfectly made clear ice and is stiff in all the good ways. Their cocktails on tap are excellent value. The wasabi smash is a must try. Visit with confidence.

    BAM this place is already a legend! Super creative and well presented cocktails. You also get water along with your cocktails! Staff super nice and helpful! Would be also a fantastic bar for a first date, I suppose. Non alcoholic cocktails available too. Enjoy!

    My favorite bar in El Born. They offer cocktails with special flavors. I love the cardamom cocktail. They offer their cocktails in very interesting cups and give free popcorn with cinnamon flavor, they refill it many times. They also have simple tapas like hummus.The prices are reasonable and proportional to the quality. But most of all I loved how the staff were ready to give special attention and service to customers. Thank you for the free shots you gave us. We loved everything there.

    Actually we landed here by the accident, wanted to have a drink after buying a souvenirs on the street. Bar is a kind of hidden, not easy to recognize from the outside. The experience here was amazing, the waiter knew a lot about flavors and how the drinks are made. Drinks are beautifully decorated, really tasty. Unique atmosphere.

    Must see, taste and go for the cocktail connaisseur. Not the average drink but a firework of taste and experience. But it's not set up to enter with a large group of people. Good to get immersed in the world of spices and drinks.

    Bar with a great atmosphere and unique cocktails ! I’ve spent the most wonderful evening with my girl and we had excellent time. Also nice thing is that the bar is open till 3am, so you have time to talk about all of your childhood dramas :) My recommendation is the first cocktail in their menu (with the fascinating “show” with bubbles).

    CONSISTENTLY AMAZING VIBES! The owner Antonio is the mastermind behind the successful Dr. Stravinsky, and this is his second venture that focuses on spices. This bar is about pushing the boundaries of what cocktails are and should mean. I just love how lowkey this bar is. It's like they want you to stumble upon it like a little secret. You simply will not find drinks this unique elsewhere in Barcelona. It was, however, written about in the NY Times, which I guess brings a decent number of Americans and tourists, but there are plenty of cool locals to mingle with too. The regular bartenders here are the real deal! Diego and Alejandro know their drinks and, along with the rest of the staff, provide the best hospitality and experience. The cocktails always taste amazing, and they are real showmen, proving that cocktail making is a multifaceted art and not just about mixing drinks. I can totally see this bar coming out of its shell and becoming huge! Get in on the secret before it blows up. You won't regret it.

    The potential is big but the performance is lacking. The cocktails way too sweet- they all sound really good in paper but it ends there. The food was less than average and the atmosphere was weird.

    Great experience at this bar! Our bartender German gave us the best service and took care of us very well! He put on a show for us, gave us tasting of a couple cocktails which led us to ordering those cocktails! Great atmosphere with a fun, inviting feeling. One of the best bars I have ever been too! Will definitely return again! Thank you for such a memorable experience!

    This was the best cocktail of my life!!! Soo intriguing and balanced and exciting. I can’t say anything else to convince you how perfect these cocktails are—don’t wait just go. Peace and love—from Chicago 😘

    Amazing experience. If you sit at the bar you get drinks and a show. The bartenders are friendly and will help you decide on the perfect drink and then entertain you while they make it.

    Amazing and unique bar experience. The owner, Diego, personally came over to greet my friend and I, showed us the menu and story of his creations, it made us feel like VIPs! After much deliberation, we ordered the wasabi cocktail and a whisky with banana leaf, both different and good in their own way. I'm a light drinker so the wasabi cocktail was easy to drink. The whisky was obviously stronger, but with the banana leaf it prolonged and balanced the taste very well. We even had some complementary popcorn as a treat from Diego! Thank you to all of the staff there, all very nice and English tourist friendly!

    My wife and I came across this place as we were exploring the streets of Barcelona, and I've got to say I'm so glad I did! The cocktails are absolutely fantastic! Diego is a master of his craft and you can absolutely tell he has a passion for what he does. Make sure you sit at the bar so you can see him in action! Also the food is 🔥 too!

    Great bar. Cocktails were pricey but very unique and delicious. Service was very friendly and helpful going through the menu explaining what the cocktails were and where and how they originated

    Some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. I am here on my honeymoon for only 3 days and we stumbled upon it our first night, came back the second night, and will probably go back again tonight. I don’t write a lot of reviews, and I had to make a point to write this one so people know how great this bar is. Diego is a creative and fantastic and talented mixologist. A big plus is you get water & popcorn while you visit. Everyone is friendly and there to have a good time. Thanks for the great memories and even better drinks.
