After passing by many times, we decided to give it a try. We received a welcome and were seated at the bar upon our request. There were only a few tables in, as it was around 7pm. After a few mins, we had to try and get the attention of one of the three servers, who were very busy, catching up, chatting. We ordered a beer and a cocktail with some chips and curry sauce. Drinks and food were fine, perhaps a little on the small side. Then after trying again to break up the “chat” behind the bar between the staff, we were presented with our bill. Immediately I could see there was an incorrect entry, an extra cocktail had been added, I let the server know and was asked “ did you order and change your mind” to which I replied “ no, we didn’t order it” then the bill was corrected and there was an under the breath apology.

By the time it melts down to a reasonable size, I'll be left staring at the glass wondering if I ever even ordered whisky.

Sure, the cube is slow-melting (I see what you did there), but come on—I don’t need my whisky diluted over the course of an entire evening. It's a battle for space, and unfortunately, the whisky is losing. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if I return to Barcelona in 2025 and that same ice cube is still chilling in my glass, smug as ever.

Great selection, charming ambience, but I’ll need a chisel next time if I want more than a thimbleful of...
