Barcelona

Slow Barcelona has a dual personality that keeps things interesting. The ground floor is a cosy bar with dim lighting and vintage touches, perfect for unwinding over cocktails inspired by famous works of art like the 'Starry Night', a gin-based nod to Van Gogh, or the 'Salvador Sour', a playful twist inspired by Dalí. Upstairs, the vibe amps up with live music and DJ sets spanning a mix of genres, making it a hotspot for a lively night out.

Can Paixano, best known as La Xampanyeria, is a traditional bar in the heart of the Barceloneta neighbourhood, famous for its cava – a typical Catalonian sweet sparkling wine – best enjoyed with a side of tapas and bocadillos (sandwiches). La Xampanyeria is quite a popular bar among travellers and locals, so it is continuously packed. Stand wherever you can find space, and don't be afraid to gently push your way through the crowd to place your order.

A true hidden gem in the maze of back streets of the El Born district, Dr Stravinsky is a small and unique cocktail bar serving masterfully crafted drinks and bar bites in a cosy and whimsical atmosphere.

CocoVail Beer Hall brings a slice of American beer culture to the heart of Barcelona. The spacious interior, with communal tables, creates a social atmosphere perfect for gatherings. With 24 craft beers on tap, including local brews from Espiga, Garage, and La Pirata, there’s always something worth sipping. The menu leans on American comfort food—think pub favourites like chicken wings, burgers, and mac 'n' cheese. Sports fans will appreciate the six big-screen TVs, making it a lively spot for catching games like the Champions League.

Hidden behind a pastrami shop, Paradiso transports you to another world as you step through its secret door. The dimly lit space, with its curving wooden interiors resembling the ribs of a whale, feels both dramatic and intimate. The menu, inspired by 'The Mysteries of the Universe,' offers cocktails that are as much art as they are drinks, served in imaginative vessels that add to the experience.

With a great selection of wine, cocktails, beers and, of course, whiskey, this bar offers a welcoming and comfortable location for sitting together for a drink and a little chit-chat. For newbies to the whiskey game, the staff is ready to introduce and help you find the most appealing drop for your taste.

The location is by far the greatest draw for Carpe Diem, as its fantastic spot right on the beach makes for an enjoyable evening meal and drink. Many come here to start the evening off, and some even stay longer and enjoy the restaurant's transformation into a nightclub later at night.
