About the Vibe
Dry Martini is Barcelona's crown jewel of mixology, a 45-year-old institution that somehow feels both timeless and cutting-edge. Javier de las Muelas has kept the English gentleman's club vibe alive with its leather, wood, and brass, while pushing cocktail boundaries that have earned it a spot on the World's 50 Best Bars list for seven consecutive years. The real magic happens when you skip the tourist trap mentality and dive into their classical recreations or let the bartenders surprise you with something from their innovative collections.

Barcelona's Cocktail Masterpiece
Dry Martini isn't just a barâit's a pilgrimage site for anyone who takes cocktails seriously. Walking in, you're immediately transported to another era with its rich leather seating, polished wood bar, and that warm brass glow that makes every drink look like art. The bartenders here are genuine artists; they don't just make drinks, they craft experiences. I've watched them work their magic with the Vesper Martini and their signature creations that blend classical techniques with unexpected twists.
The Speakeasy concept tucked in the back is geniusâpassword entry, clandestine atmosphere, and a menu designed to pair with their cocktails. It's the kind of place where you'll find yourself lingering longer than planned, watching the bartenders work and soaking in the expertise. Yes, it's pricey, but you're paying for world-class craftsmanship and a piece of Barcelona's cocktail history.
What I love most is how they've maintained their identity while constantly evolving. The English gentleman's club feel hasn't been lost in their quest for innovation. If you're in Barcelona and want to understand why this bar has been on the World's 50 Best list for seven years straight, this is your chance. Just don't expect to leave quicklyâyou'll want to savor every moment.

Dry Martini n'est pas simplement un barâc'est un site de pĂšlerinage pour quiconque prend les cocktails au sĂ©rieux. En entrant, vous ĂȘtes immĂ©diatement transportĂ© dans une autre Ă©poque avec ses riches canapĂ©s en cuir, son bar en bois poli et cette lueur dorĂ©e qui fait que chaque boisson ressemble Ă un chef-d'Ćuvre. Les bartenders ici sont de vĂ©ritables artistes ; ils ne prĂ©parent pas juste des boissons, ils crĂ©ent des expĂ©riences. J'ai pu les observer travailler leur magie avec le Vesper Martini et leurs crĂ©ations signature qui mĂ©langent techniques classiques et touches surprenantes.
Le concept Speakeasy cachĂ© Ă l'arriĂšre est gĂ©nialâentrĂ©e par mot de passe, atmosphĂšre clandestine, et une carte conçue pour s'accorder avec leurs cocktails. C'est le genre d'endroit oĂč vous vous retrouverez Ă traĂźner plus longtemps que prĂ©vu, Ă observer les bartenders Ă l'Ćuvre et Ă absorber leur expertise. Oui, c'est cher, mais vous payez pour un craftsmanship de classe mondiale et un morceau d'histoire du cocktail barcelonais.
Ce que j'aime le plus, c'est comment ils ont maintenu leur identitĂ© tout en Ă©voluant constamment. L'ambiance du gentleman's club anglais n'a pas Ă©tĂ© perdue dans leur quĂȘte d'innovation. Si vous ĂȘtes Ă Barcelone et voulez comprendre pourquoi ce bar figure dans le World's 50 Best depuis sept ans d'affilĂ©e, c'est votre chance. Ne vous attendez pas Ă partir rapidementâvous voudrez savourer chaque instant.
