The Lime House 
Lime House mojitos are very well known around Barcelona. They’re delicious (and viciously strong, so be careful) for only 3.50€, which is a price you can’t argue with. Behind the bar you can also find a diverse range of homemade gins – too many to try at once, in fact – so you’ll have to come back again to taste them all! On weekends it can get busy, so be prepared to wait outside.
