Dry Martini Barcelona — Restaurant in Barcelona

Channeling the American Prohibition Era, Speakeasy in Barcelona pairs cocktails with a gastronomic menu that references the roaring ’20’s. Each dish is inspired by a cocktail, and the restaurant brings a vibe of mysterious privacy to the public, combining the quiet refinement of traditional speakeasies with modern luxury.

I met my friend at Speakeasy for dinner, and was delighted to dine in such an outstanding establishment. Set in the warehouse space of Dry Martini, the restaurant feels private and confined, yet elegant and upscale. Our server was delightful, and was quick to recommend perfect pairings of cocktails for the dishes we ordered.

We received a welcome cocktail, in which I sipped the fresh fruit apple martini, and she tried the coconut martini. The martinis were bursting with flavor, and the alcohol wasn’t overpowering.

We started our dinner with mascarpone and chives blini, which was thin and delicious. We also had yucca chips with cod brandade and marinated salmon with teriyaki sauce. Both were unique and flavorful, the fish tasted freshly caught. My favorite appetizers were the shrimp croquette which was crispy and well-seasoned, and the fried dough stuffed with spicy sausage, which was incredible.

We both enjoyed the same main course – roast suckling lamb with potatoes and Japanese mushrooms. Expertly cooked and seasoned, the lamb had a crispy skin and the meat was juicy and tender. The mellow mushroom and prawns rice, brought out the earthy flavor of the meat and complemented the dish excellently. I loved the mozzarella di Bufala salad with bresaola and pine nuts pesto too. The cheese was tasty and the pesto was nutty.

For dessert, we indulged in red fruits infusion with Granny Smith sorbet. Fruity, sweet, and flavorful, this was a delightful ending to a delicious meal, and reflected the apple martini I enjoyed. Speakeasy is a great gateway into the gastronomic times of the...

I had the pleasure of visiting Dry Martini Bar in Barcelona, and it's safe to say that it's a true gem among the city's historic establishments. As one of the oldest bars in town, Dry Martini Bar has not only stood the test of time but has become a beloved institution.

Upon entering, I was transported back in time to a bygone era. The retro-style seating and bar, along with the servers dressed in white suits reminiscent of the olden days, created a nostalgic and inviting atmosphere. It's a place where you can truly appreciate the charm of classic cocktail culture.

Given its popularity, I would highly recommend booking in advance, although my group was fortunate to secure seating within just 10 minutes. The bustling crowd only added to the lively ambiance.

Now, let's talk about the drinks. While we sampled a variety of cocktails, the espresso martini stole the show. It was a perfect blend of flavors and expertly crafted, a testament to the bartenders' skill and attention to detail. The service was equally impressive, with attentive staff who knew their craft well.

What sets Dry Martini Bar apart, aside from its drinks and service, is the stunning decor that surrounds you as you sip your martini. The atmosphere is nothing short of amazing and adds to the overall experience.

During my visit, I also noticed a speakeasy within the bar, hinting at more hidden treasures to explore in the future.

In conclusion, Dry Martini Bar is a must-visit for anyone in Barcelona, whether you're a cocktail enthusiast or simply looking for a unique and memorable night out. The combination of its historical significance, outstanding drinks, impeccable service, and captivating atmosphere makes it a place I will certainly return to on my next visit...

Look carefully at the receipts at this bar! We ordered 4 dry martini cocktails and they were impossible to drink, harder than drinking vodka by sips. When we had already paid the bill, we noticed that we were charged not as in the menu for 15 euros per cocktail, but for 24. The waiter said that when ordering he offered us additional strong alcohol in cocktails, and that's why the price increased so much. Why this is necessary for the girls who drank sweet cocktails before is a mystery, no bar in the world has ever offered me to add more strong alcohol to a cocktail. But in reality, when ordering we were simply asked gin or vodka, and no one warned us about the price increase. We asked them to show us the position in the menu and explain how the price was formed, but they couldn't do it, they just poked at the menu for pure gin for 16 euros. In the end they changed the bill and charged us for 16 euros per cocktail. No apologies from the staff, they tried their best to convince us that we were the ones who ordered wrong, but we just ordered an item from a menu. And their pornstar martini is not worth its 19.5 euros....
