Collage Cocktail Bar

I just found that place by coincidence while walking. I just went inside and mesmerized. Bartenders are awesome, they explaining the story about all the cocktails. Everything home made and super special. Don't leave the Barcelona if you didn't visit here.

I rarely ever drink cocktails (most are just too much sugar for me), typically I'm a hoppy craft beer or bold red kind of guy. On occasion I love a good old fashioned. My wife found this place on Google and suggested we stop in before dinner, so I kindly obliged. The two cocktails that Kat (our bartender) prepared for me were (I am not even sure why I'm apprehensive to say this)...THE BEST OF MY LIFE. We have many more accolades and nice things to say about Kat but I don't want you to waste your time reading, just go! This is NOT A BAR, it's an experience, a lounge, a vibe which will speak to your soul.

Love love this spot. The best mocktails, made with great ingredients, thoughtfulness, and creativity. The vibe is fabulous and the service spectacular. The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming and are just such a vibe. Get yourself a drink there, it is worth it!

Beautiful and elegant cocktail bar with a dash of Thailand. The cocktail menu is not too short and not too long. The cocktails on offer are special (no classics) and embody a touch of Thailand. The non-alcoholic drinks are also really tasty. The interior of the bar is really beautiful and elegant. We were treated in a very friendly manner and can recommend the bar.

We visited College Cocktail Bar for a private cocktail making class which was amazing! Fernando was so welcoming and engaging, we had so much fun. The cocktails were delicious. I would highly recommend visiting if you are in Barcelona. Can’t thanks Fernando enough for the amazing service and fun time!!

Excellent spot for a great cocktail to start or end your night. Cost vibe, small area around the bar and a larger mezzanine with comfortable seating. Great menu with some dangerously strong cocktails! Interesting twists on the classics. Experienced it both full and empty and it’s still a great spot to have a few drinks. Highly recommend.

We were told to sit downstairs and asked if happy to wait for the table. We have never been moved upstairs and I've noticed people who were turning up after us also without booking have been taken upstairs. It wasn't a problem but definitely have made our stay shorter than it could have been. Cocktails were great and the barmaid made an effort to explain how cocktails were made etc. The only disappointment was a change of attitude when we wanted to pay separately for our drinks and were refused with no explanation!! This was literally the only place that haven't let us split the bill. I have offered to pay for everyone but forgot my pin so needed a moment to find it on my phone. The barmaid was clearly whispering about us to the guy who was sitting at the bar as both were giving us the look. This has ruined the whole experiance even though the cocktail were delicious. It was the only place we haven't left a tip on our whole holiday and didn't want to stay at for another drink

I usually don't like tiki bars, and was unsure how much I would like Collage when I saw the relaxed vibes and tiki-type decor...but the drinks blew me away! They were so unique and well done and inexpensive... the service was attentive, and everyone was having a nice time. It was empty enough to get a nice seat, but full enough to know you're in the right place... I hope not too many people find this spot. I'm definitely going back! The Mel i Mato drink was exquisite. A new favourite!

It's not their fault that they're nestled into the more touristy part of Barcelona--and don't let that stop you from going! Well worth the effort as you're transported into what can quickly feel like your personal neighborhood bar. Our initial bartender (no, mixologist) was a Peruvian woman named Rayza (probably spelled that wrong). Very friendly and did a great job trying to translate as much as possible into English. They change the drink menu 4 times a year and had just introduced the Summer menu a few days ago. Don't remember the exact names of the drinks we ordered but one was gin based and was Hunter/Hunting-something. The other was mezcal based with Luxardo bitters as one of the ingredients. Both were fantastic (uploading pics after the review). Well thought out and skillfully crafted by Rayza. She made a little too much of the mezcal drink so she poured it into a shot glass and presented it to me as a "refill" with a smile. Nice touch, but I told her it was for her to drink with me. As things got busier (we arrived around 10 pm and had our pick of seats at the bar), a male bartender started working our end of the bar. Sadly, we neglected to get his name but we enjoyed a great conversation as he made many creative drinks. A bar like this could be quite snobby about themselves. This one isn't. We look forward to coming back each time we visit Barcelona and highly recommend it if you can get there.

Recommended by a bartender at Libertine (a fellow craft cocktail bar inside Casa Bonay) and one of those suggestions that really makes an evening turn from basic to anything but. The walk to Collage was magical already but then stepping inside transported me to another realm of wonderment. It's dark, it's sexy, it's got so many potions to create a drink unlike any other. There's an upstairs lounge area that feels more like a salon of a bygone era and then there's the intimate bar downstairs where I saddled up. I was immediately taken with both male bartenders...one French, one Italian. Both spoke Spanish and English. It was as if my Weird Science mind had produced two handsome, intriguing characters purely for my entertainment! But, on to the drinks. Their cocktail menu is a beaut. There's not a ton on it, but each beverage is described in paragraph form so you know its origin story before meeting your lips to its glass. These concoctions were eclectic takes on the classics. Some were aflame, some were served alongside fun accoutrements, and some were just plain funky, but in an intriguing way. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. I had two and each one had its highs, sans any lows. The best part was sitting and chatting with the bartenders and the fact that they have a Yelp check-in offer for a free shot, which is pretty impressive to see anywhere in Europe (even though the bartender wasn't as keen on this offer as I was to use it...a mezcal shot we both did!). Not to mention, they host cocktail making classes often. If you're headed to (or in) Barcelona, I recommend scheduling one to get a behind-the-scenes look at the makings of these fine libations.

My favorite bar in Barcelona. The drinks were delicious. The service was quick and friendly. The space itself was small and stylish. I had two drinks there. One was the special which was called The Alcatraz and then I got some kind of old fashioned with lavender which was also great. I wanted to return but the two bottles of whiskey in my Airbnb disallowed that from happening. I can't wait to go back.

The legend of Mateo lives on!!! I've visited this place multiple times the last few years. Great bartenders and fantastic drinks. Inspire yourself and ask for a custom cocktail that isn't on the menu. You will not be disappointed!!!

Fantastic drinks! Small bar with a great vibe. Jan the bar tender makes you feel like it's your neighborhood bar from the moment you walk in. Cozy with great decor on a side street.

I LOVED this place!! It was my first night in the city and this was our first bar we chose to go to. It's very small and intimate which I love, didn't take us much to get a table but the place filled up quickly after 11:30. The cocktails are amazing!!! I can't remember the name of the cocktail I got, started with an H, hangover?? I'm not sure but I ordered three, it was that good. The bartenders were super nice and quick, the owner gave us an extra round of shots because our tab was "a nice ticket" lol. I loved it, would definitely go back every time (maybe even night) when I go back to Barca.

Visiting Barcelona I had the privilege of being able to spend some time and drink these master pieces made of alcohol. Andrea, Fernando, and Mateo know how to welcome you, not only with a great cocktail but with a good conversation. I really want a place like Collage next to my house.

Excellent creative cocktails, and top-notch mixologists who are delighted by the opportunity to improvise the perfect concoction of the moment, to most precisely suit your whim. Brilliant use of smoked salt/pepper rim!

My girlfriend and I had just arrived in Barcelona for our first time, and didn't have the exact number of our AirBnB location. Our taxi dropped us close and we needed to find WiFi to contact our host, and by pure chance and immense luck, we stumbled on Collage as the first location (which they also had WiFi). We ended up coming back 3 nights during our one week stay. Let me be very clear - this is a MUST visit when you come to Barcelona. The atmosphere, drinks, and staff are absolutely impeccable. Take some time to chat with the staff and you'll transform your experience and appreciate it much more. Collage can get busy at peak times, but the staff always work hard and don't sacrifice quality for quantity. Be patient and give a smile, you'll be glad you did and if it's busy, the gesture won't go unnoticed. My girlfriend and I ended up staying after most of the crowds left and the staff would come sit with us when possible and chat. Special shout out to Jan (and his girlfriend, who helped us contact our AirBnB host the first evening) and Julie. These two are great at remembering names & faces and are the nicest people. Wonderful experience and we're so grateful that we stumbled upon what we think is the best cocktail bar in Barcelona.

Good, creative cocktails. Helpful bartenders. The achilles heel might be that they overthink some of their drinks. For example a chili and chocolate drink was much more enjoyable after a second bartender instructed me of his preferred way of drinking it. If there's a best way to drink something, it should be probably be served in a way that makes it obvious. It may be a nitpick on my part, but that's my two cents.

This place was lovely! Spent my last night in Barcelona there. Even though they don't have menu in English they were very friendly and nice to help you with translation and recommendation. I took the spice coconut mojito, special enough, thought I should have tried their piña colada though because it's my favorite. Checked in and got 2 German haribo shots. Very nice. The atmosphere is great, relaxing, cozy and drinks are nice. Nothing too crazy

No one mentioned this as a great bar in Barcelona, likely because of it's proximity to the touristy area. However, the menu is first class and it's a little touch of the American cocktail style but with European professionalism. One of the few cocktail menus brave enough to incorporate multiple technical styles. Nerdness aside, you will have a great drink and fun in this beautiful little spot.

A craft cocktail bar that can hold their own with just about any hipster spot in San Francisco, California. Mellow ambiance morphed into typical Barcelona fun as the night wore on. Salud!

Definitely the best hand crafted cocktail I had while in the Barcelona. And very cool ambiance here. Wish I had time to come back and visit more while in Barcelona. Highly recommend this place!

Extremely shady, dishonest business practices. Two things: First, they did not honor the Yelp coupon they put up ("Oh, that's old"). Sorry, but you guys are the ones who put it up there, so you can take it down as well. While that wasn't the reason I decided to show up to this place, it could very well be someone else's. I gave them the benefit of the doubt at first on this though. Perhaps they changed ownership or something. Mistakes like this do happen. What they did afterwards, however, upset me and made me think this was done maliciously as well. If you weren't already aware, a lot of credit card machines will give you an option to pay in your native currency if it's not the same as the business's currency. So for example, I'm from the US, so I had the option of paying in USD or in Euros. The problem is that paying in USD gives you an extremely unfavorable conversation rate, so you end up paying the business more than you would have if you selected Euros. This is common knowledge, and I read about this before I even left for my Europe trip. When I went up to pay with my card, the server gave me the credit card machine and I slid my card. After entering my PIN, he immediately took it away from me and I oversaw him push the USD option. He did not ask me what option I wanted, and you'd have to be naive to think he doesn't know that they get more money if they select the USD option. It was blatantly clear he was trying to not allow me to pick which option I wanted. Perhaps he was hoping I was too drunk to notice, but I only had one drink. ;-) Fortunately, there's a first time for everything, and today was the first time I was happy my credit card blocking a transaction by being overprotective about foreign transactions. With the next credit card I used, he again tried to snatch the card machine back. This time, I held it tightly in my hand and pressed the Euro option as soon as it came up. You may have robbed me of a free check-in offer, but not of a bad conversion rate!

Beautiful new bar. Reminds me of Palmer & Co in Sydney and Pour Vous in Los Angeles. It's sophisticated and the mixologist will make you one delicious drink!

Very cozy and delicious cocktail bar. Best gin cocktail of the my life! The bartender asked the base and then did his work! Very friendly staff as well.

MUST GO! Such a special place down a small alley, with a fun intimate vide, good smells all around. Love love love

Love this place. Outstanding original cocktails and an attentive talented staff. Had a great experience a year ago and was lucky enough to find this place again thanks to friends who brought me back. Didnt know I would be returning and was so excited when I realized where we were headed. Check it out.

Great cocktails with Jan! 3rd best rye old fashion! (private joke) Also great pictures in the bathroom!

Absolutely loved to atmosphere here, reminded me of a cocktail spots in Downtown Los Angeles. I had The Fizz de Maison, wasn't very strong, tasted more like cucumber water. Then I had a second drink that started with a G that had a lot of orange flavor to it, that one was delicious. Great service and lounge atmosphere.

I absolutely loved this place! It made my trip to Barcelona even more memorable as I kick started every night with a few drinks at this amazing spot. Fernando and Yann are incredible! From Palm Beach, FL to Barcelona, Spain....I love Collage!

Visited because of a friend's recommendation and stayed because this is drink perfection. Like the name of the bar says, this is cocktail art of the highest order. Sit at the bar if you can so you can see the mixologist in action. If bourbon is your drink you can. Not leave Barcelona without trying a Smoky Manhattan.

Easily one of the best cocktail bars I have ever been to. Fernando is a glorious man with impeccable style and a cornucopia of adult beverage knowledge. I highly recommend cruising into this gem of a bar and immersing yourself in the radness that is the El Born.

This was by far one of the best cocktail bars that we found during our stay in Barcelona thanks to yelp. The drinks are top notch and reasonably priced as well as a very nice staff. There is a lot of work that goes into each cocktail so keep that in mind and be patient - it's well worth the wait!

Cozy spot with an amazing cocktail menu. Loved it.
