Balius Bar

What an amazing bar!!!! Love the messages and secret winks behind their drinks ;) these small but lovely nudges towards Inclusiveness, Equality, and Human rights… chef’s kiss! The bartenders were so kind, the bar bites were delicious, and the drinks were also very good (and strong 😅) so happy we stumbled upon this spot!

Cool cocktail bar with jazz on Sunday evenings. It was quite busy when we arrived but after a short wait, we managed to get a table and enjoyed the chilled vibes with drinks. Shout-out to the bartenders as I requested some drinks off-menu and they were delicious!

It’s an amazing bar with incredible live jazz band. The music and the vibe are relaxing, if you like blue jazz music, this bar is absolutely a great place to go. Meanwhile I like the cocktails especially the ice rocks look crystal clear. They would be better if they can have a better container or glasses.

This cocktail bar was recommend by the receptionist of the hotel. To such a surprise, this was definitely one of the highlights to our Barcelona trip because the vibes were immaculate. The bartender/waiter was very helpful. Definitely a cool place worth making a trip to!

Cute little bar. Went there on our first night in Barcelona. Our friend likes to find great bars based on reviews and we followed him there. The drinks were nice. It was hard to find spot for our group of 12 people, but we just had to take 3 separate tables. Friendly staff. Everyone spoke English, so ordering and communicating with the staff was easy.

Great atmosphere and music! Awesome drink selection as well... bar owner has a slightly generally-annoyed attitude though, but you can work around that.

Great little bar with a fantastic soundtrack and sensational cocktails. Staff were friendly and accommodating and the general vibe of the place was immaculate for late on a Tuesday night

If you love espresso martinis.... this is your place to go!!! The drinks are out of the world delicious and the var is so beautiful and classy you won't regret it! And I am sure the other cocktails are just as good ;)

After a long day of doing touristy things, we just wanted to chill at a bar and this was such a perfect place for that. I ordered Claro de Luna- probably one of my favorite drinks ever now.. the ice cube was huge so there wasn't too much to drink but it tasted sweet with the perfect amount alcohol. This place has a unique feel to it that felt really cozy- modern but also very old fashioned. It's a place to check out if you're nearby.

So, rented a Vespa and asked our guide for a cocktail bar recommendation - and Andrea certainly delivered - Balius (Gastrococteleria - is that even a word in any language?) did not disappoint. There was a lengthy menu of cocktails and excellent bar food (it is Barcelona after all...) for anyone's taste - not the usual super sweet and fruity drinks you find all over the city. I had a Bambino (a New York standby). And it was spot on. The bartenders were personable and knowledgeable - and knew their stuff. Also - happened in on a Sunday night and there was a jazz band playing - couldn't ask for a better wind down on a busy day. A great slice of Brooklyn in Barcelona!!!

Legit cocktails with interesting ingredients - shrubs, good gins and so on. Not your usual fruity sugary crap. Food nibbles are yummy and the bar has a proper cocktail vibe. Excellent music and not busy on. Tuesday night (although we were here hideously early as Canadians). Smoked Connery comes in a giant snifter with its own iceberg and is very yummy. Millionaire no.1 sweet and seductive. Cava cocktails universally awesome -- select the additional spirit of your choice for a wide variety of vibes.

Nice local cocktail bar serving a good range of drinks. From dark and stormys to gin tonics and more elaborate vermouth sours. Good decor and nice music. Sunday nights often have jazz.

Overall great experience found this place walking around the area were my hotel. So decided to step in and give it a chance and I was impressed old fashion bar with awesome cocktails and for the price cheaper then in the downtown area 6-9 euro. Bartender was great and makes a mean Hemingway and old fashion. The two girl bartenders are awesome every drink was on point and also they have tapas here simple stuff but taste great and goes well when pairing with drinks. I had three cocktails and order of cheeses and bread and also cured ham plate all came out to around 40 euros

Stumbled across this bar and was pleasantly surprised. Wonderful atmosphere and great service. Bartenders were friendly and made a well balanced drink!
