The Alchemix

23 Best Bars in Barcelona

"At this Asian-Mediterranean restaurant and bar, don’t expect a long drinks list, nor any umbrella-topped classics. Instead, the core menu consists of a series of cocktails that play on texture—foam, smoke, crushed ice, glazes, even caviar. For just the right amount of theater, Mrs. Pots & Little Chip—an icy, gin-based tipple inspired by Beauty and the Beast—is served from a smoking teapot that emits the scent of rose, lychee, and hibiscus; the taste isn’t twee; rather, it’s bittersweet perfection. Come for high-quality, well-crafted cocktails where you can see (and savor) the time dedicated to their conception. This isn’t a chug-down-a-beer bar; you'll want to treat your drink like a pricey meal: sip it, mix it, and enjoy the theater." - Isabelle Kliger, Naren Young
