2.    Slow Cocktail Bar & Boîte – G&T Haven

Consider yourself a Gin & Tonic connoisseur? If so, Slow Cocktail Bar in Barcelona is a top choice! One of the city’s most sophisticated venues, you can enjoy the grand selection of gins (which change every season) while being surrounded by Barcelona’s elite crowd. We recommend the Madame Butterfly, a blend of vodka and traditional Japanese sake! After enjoying these smooth mixtures, head upstairs for an eclectic mix of tunes.

3.    Bambú Lounge – An Oriental Twist

Care to enjoy a delectable cocktail against an Oriental backdrop? If so, check out Bambú Lounge in Barcelona’s district of Gràcia.

We recommend “The Godfather”- a mix of Whiskey and Amaretto – yum!

4.    Boadas – Catalan Classic

Boadas, the oldest cocktail bar in Barcelona, was established all the way back in 1933. It’s a great choice for those who seek an artsy and cool place to unwind. Situated just steps from Las Ramblas, at Boadas you can choose from a range of classic cocktails, shaken and stirred by wait-staff in tuxedos. We suggest you try the always beautifully mixed “Cocktail of the Day” for an original experience.
