Gin Mare

Gin mare 

Gin Mare is an outstanding gin for outstanding gintonics. Specially if they are prepared by an expert. Especially if they add some aromathic herbs.
Milano (Barcelona) is a nice place to taste it!

Certainly Milano looks like a classic cocktail place, underground and clandestine. I like this place :-)

Avda. Paral·lel 164

This is another place of Ferran Adrià in Barcelona. This one is connected to Tickets. Although it is already opened, on monday it was fully closed, and there was no information about closing days. According to the next photo, it should be opened...
looking inside I had the feeling that the decoration is quite bizarre and it is not specially elegant...

Beton

Beton

Beton is a popular cocktail in Czech Republic. It is a joke of words: Beton means "concrete" (cement). It is the acronym of Becherovka & TOnic water. In my opinion you will get a better result mixing pine apple juice with Tonic water.

This is a small and peaceful cocktail bar in Barcelona.

It must be called Ideal smoked bar. Definitely I prefer TIRSA or Milano. In addition it charges more than the others (10 eur for a gin&tonic of tanqueray)

This is a hard-to-find place, but worth to visit. It is quite centric and the cocktailman "show" is great. It does not reach the Tirsa level, but it is reasonable quality and they have a wide selection of drinks.

Yo can get a look to the menu here.

I paid 12 eur for a gin&tonic of tanqueray 10. At least, the glass is really large...nevertheless it is amazing that the same ingredients do not reach the same level of TIRSA!

Although i already spoke about TIRSA, this post is devoted to a funny cocktail shaker invented during the "dry law" in USA. It is a cocktail shaker that can be configured as a sportive cup. Thus, police were unable to realize that it was a cocktail shaker. Nowadays it is a collector's item.

I strongly recommend you to go Tirsa and taste the outstanding gin&tonic of tanqueray TEN. In addition, you can also speak with Manel Tirvió, who is an outstanding Barman and Cocktailman.

This is an outstanding place for cocktails. There is no written menu, but the boss, Manel Tirvió, will make an excellent job trying to guess what you need.
My recommendation: taste the outstanding gin-tònic of gin tanqueray ten.
From a theoretical point of view, this place is not in Barcelona. It is in L'Hospitalet. From a practical point of view, it is really close to Barcelona, very near to Santa Eulàlia metro station.
