It’s not only on the world top 59 bars list. It is one of the most amazing experiences in my life. The bar opens at 4:30pm, I got there at 4:05pm and I was the second in line 😁 once seated at the bar it was just magic. The menu is very beautiful and artistic. Each drink is a beautiful performance by the bartender. We were just wowing nonstop with our drinks and other peoples drink. Not only my drinks were delicious (and so pretty), the bartender was very attentive and super friendly and funny. They truly make sure everyone has a great time!

This place is very busy, so expect to queue in order to get in . Once inside, you will see a kitsch interior design, cocktails that are spectacularly lit, and really tasty, plus the wonderful staff will help you with the perfect advice in choosing the cocktail that suits your thirsty palate. You will be rewarded with a fun atmosphere, a great interactive experience, playing with airy foam levitating, and drinking wonderful concoctions. This is not a subdued affair, this is the Las Vegas of the cocktail bars, and the fun is guaranteed. Enjoy, this place will definitely make you happy and you’ll leave satisfied and content !

A very cool bar- the space is really interesting and the entrance is great. I’ve wanted to visit this place for a long time, mainly because of all the hype around it - but… I’ll start with the best part, which is the staff. The hospitality was great. Everyone was smiling, helpful, and attentive, so that side was spot on. But when it comes to the rest, I think I might have had expectations that were too high. The presentation of the cocktails is cool, but the taste didn’t quite deliver. In a bar like this, I expected both presentation and flavor to be outstanding, but it leaned more towards presentation. Don’t get me wrong -the cocktails weren’t bad at all, they were okay. I just expected more. We also had some food- the chips were great, but the vegan sandwich wasn’t that good. The vegan meat was quite tough, although well seasoned. That said, I’d still happily come back again.

I love the speakeasy concept, even though it is not exactly a „secret” anymore since it’s ranked amongthe top 50 bars in the world. We waited in the line for over an hour, but I can say it was worth it. The bar is pretty, which stunning tropical decor, especially on the celing, the name Paradiso truly fits. What blew my mind is presentation. The cocktails are served in the most unique and creative glasses and ceramics I have seen so far. A cocktail hidden island is delicious! The only minor downside was the service, which felt bit unorganized at times, but the quality, taste, presentation of the cocktails madę up for it. It you are in Barcelona and are cocktails lover, this place is a must visit.

Really more a novelty stop, this absolutely lovely little space in the old city makes a fine conversation starter / first stop with your date, or a bit of culinary exploration in liquid form. "How did they make this taste like that?" But for enjoying some twists on craft cocktail making? Not so great. Despite a wall full of both rare and classic bottles, most of what's featured on the menu is...eccentric at best. I had two after discussion with the bartender, and both were okay but not what I would enjoy drinking despite having a very broad palate. Although famously ranked by "50 best", this is a lot different than other cocktail bars on that list (I've visited quite a few of them), including the others in Barcelona. Perhaps having hit the number one spot before, they didn't know where to go from there? Nice staff but also missing was bartender banter (at least in English) I've found at most top bars - the bar experience is heavily about that interaction, especially for the solo customer. What they offer *would* be great as a liquid tasting menu and I would return for that. But for full sized cocktails? Meh.
