Dry Martini

Classic martinis at a classic bar in L'Eixample

Tipple of choice: It's not hard to guess that their best drink is their signature one: the dry martini.
Talk of the town: Tucked behind the bar is a former warehouse that was converted into a restaurant called Speakeasy, a nod to the clandestine joints of the 20s.

Slip into a rich, leather banquette, order a martini and watch the bow-tie-clad bartenders expertly work. Stepping into this prestigious cocktail bar is like stepping back in time; the dark wood bar, the old liquor bottles lining the shelves and the posh professionalism hearkens back to a time when the quality of your drink was more important than the crowd or the decor.
The drink that gave the bar its name is quite clearly their specialty, but all of the other carefully crafted beverages are made with the same attention and skill. Order something to nibble or just nurse your cocktail at this classic.
