Best bars in Barcelona

Barcelona produced back-to-back World's 50 Best Bars winners: Paradiso, entered through a fridge door in El Born, and Sips in Eixample. At Sips, Marc Álvarez and Simone Caporale serve each drink in glassware made for it, while Boadas has poured Cuban-style classics off La Rambla since 1933. In Gràcia, 14 De La Rosa makes precise, sherry-leaning classics in a small Art Deco room.
