We had the old Cuban and the Brazilian pina colada… might have been the best cocktails either side of the Atlantic. So tasty and strong. Cuban rum was amazing too.

A very beautiful bar with a pleasant atmosphere and super friendly staff. Whenever I'm in Barcelona, I love coming here. Yesterday, I had the Old Cuban Highball, and it was the perfect way to start the evening. The bar counter is impressive, with many interesting bottles to discover. Highly recommended!

I just love it.
It's an old school cocktail bar that's been open for over 90 years and much is vintage and/or original inside.
Cocktails have absolutely always been well made and the bartenders know their craft perfectly.
Make no mistake, this is not some overly designed silly place trying to show off and be trendy in terms of looks or drinks. It's secure in what it is and if you want a proper cocktail in Barcelona, this is your joint.

Great bar for classic cocktails and some great signature ones. Service by our bartender, Azul, was outstanding. The ambience is also very classic. They have a good whisky selection, and the selection of gin is kept under zero degrees. One of Barcelona’s musts!
