Balius Bar

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!

Your greeted by what can only be thought of as a 1920s kickback a screen showing Charlie chaplin. Told floors and almost Booth seating. The bar is marble and wood with everything on display looking like it was from a speakeasy of the 1930s! Talk less of the bar staff! Eclectic is what I would call this place. Be sure to try the mezcal margaritas. All classic mixes do not appear on the menu. But you ask for it they do it! A definite must go if you're in Barcelona and wanting something luxurious yet super cool and relaxed, talk less of the live music. Give it a try, enjoy

Amazing place for perfect cocktails. Great service from all… and great drinks from Marcello!!! Thank YOUUUUU

If you are passionate about good cocktails and jazz, Balius is a MUST to visit! ❤️❤️❤️

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

I would like to give my personal acclaim to Balius Cocteleria—my first time here, and surly, I’ll be here again. Adrian, the manager, represents an environment where all will enjoy. The music, the visuals, the service, and nonetheless, the personality will entice all. I had the best time of my life in 12 years.

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!
