Boca Chica:
http://www.bocagrande.cat/en/boca-chica With the landmark of Lázaro Rosa Violán, Boca Chica is more than an elegant, refined and spacious cocktail bar for the coolest people in Barcelona
Miramelindo:
http://www.barmiramelindo.com/?lang=en Nice atmosphere, kind of traditional, cocktails and wines are nice and it would be a good start for the night. Right next to it there is another bar called No Sé! (I don’t know!) and to our taste it is totally worth the struggle trying to get to the bar, as it is definitely the best mojito in Barcelona.
