El Raval has slowly evolved from a forgotten, seedy no-man’s-land into one of the choicest districts to enjoy provocative modern art and a pulsating, boho-glam party scene. Though not for everyone’s taste, hippy students, tattooed misfits, artists, and more recently trend-seeking nomads routinely bar crawl up and down a stretch of nightlife-friendly streets (Joaquin Costa is one) featuring a wide assortment of divey dens, music bars, pubs, and funky coctelerias.
This cocktail bar, pared down to mostly black decor and a shiny varnished bar, is for no-nonsense sophisticates of all ages. What sets Negroni apart and keeps it popular year-in, year-out is the talented barmen’s dedication to the art of cocktail creation; no menus, just reveal your favorite spirit and have a little trust.
Founded by Daniel Arévalo and Jota the Magician, Somnia is a signature cocktail bar hosting magic shows every hour on the hour. Boasting 20th-century circus-theme decor, Somnia fills up fast.
