Interesting cocktails anyone?

While in Barcelona, we did drink mostly wine and cava.  And that isn't a bad thing.  However we did stumble across this Martini bar that is well worth the trip.  Dry Martini is a fantastic speakeasy like bar in the l'Eixample district of Barcelona.  They have over 60 gins (the best and biggest selection I have ever seen) and over 300 cocktails (not all appear on Menus the bartender told us).  They even have the original gin martini recipe painted on a mirror behind the bar.  (It might surprise you what it really is)  


The service is fantastic and the atmosphere  is elegant yet comfortable.  Ask the bartender to make you a specialty cocktail.  I guarantee it will rival  any "mixologist" drink you have had in New York.  I will warn you however, that the smoke gets really thick after midnight, so if you don't like smoke go early.  Carrer Aribau 162-166
