"If you assumed a gin bar would make a great martini—good job. You are correct. We like the food here too, but Tropezón’s gin is special. They have a great selection of infused gins—their fino martini uses hojiblanca gin and their espresso martini has Madagascar vanilla gin. This is, in case you haven’t figured it out, a place for gin lovers. But we also really love the space, a 50/50 split between a bar and dining room with a snug interior featuring lots of wood and legs of jamón hanging from the ceiling." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"It’s fitting that the best restaurant on Española Way is actually a Spanish restaurant. Tropezón is a fun spot decorated with posters of old western films and a huge cocktail menu that will excite the Negroni lover in your life. Try to come with at least four people so you can order a bunch of tapas like charcoal tempura boquerones, pan con tomate, and garlicky gambas that are large enough to be the center on a shrimp basketball team. For bigger entrees, prioritize the crisp cochinillo that comes on a bed of swiss chard. Tropezón is also a fun place to drink, with dozens of gin infusions that are put to use in great cocktails." - virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer
"The Spanish-influenced spot on Espanola Way boasts a tapas-style menu featuring shareable dishes like pan con tomate, tortilla Española, patatas bravas, jamon Iberico, and gazpacho. Gin is the star of the drink menu, offering a collection of more than 20 house-infused gins alongside other updated classics like rose sangria and gin martinis." - Amber Love Bond
"The martini is a cocktail made with gin and vermouth, so what better place to enjoy one than at a bar dedicated entirely to gin? It’s expertly made using gin infused with hojiblanca olives, nutty, fino sherry, dry vermouth, and finished with a saline solution for a briny edge. Pair it with the array of Spanish tapas, like jamon iberico de bellota, boquerones, or Manchego, for a perfectly balanced bite." - Alona Martinez
"Tropezón is worth weaving through the street’s omnipresent crowd of tourists. The space—a 50/50 split between a bar and dining room—has a snug interior featuring lots of wood and legs of jamón hanging from the ceiling. They have a selection of infused gin and the food is mostly Spanish tapas. It's not a menu that’ll get you very full, but it is delicious. There’s a pan con tomate and gambas al ajillo—but also slightly larger entrees like a duck confit paella. Whether you come to drink or eat (or, ideally, both) this is the reservation to make next time you need a fun night out involving gin." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
