Bar Marsella

We visited Bar Marsella on our first night in Barcelona, and it turned out to be such a memorable experience. The bar has a nostalgic, old-world charm that sets it apart from your usual spots. We tried absinthe in the traditional way, along with a couple of cocktails, and even ended up buying a bottle of absinthe to take home! The bartender was incredibly friendly, and we had a great chat with them, as well as with some of the locals who were so warm and welcoming. It was a perfect mix of good drinks, great company, and a unique atmosphere. If you’re looking for a bar with character and history, this is the place to be.

The absinthe served here is the real deal – not that b-s with food coloring in it. Very chill on a weeknight; lively on Fridays and Saturdays... The barkeepers are cool... so is the clientele. Highly recommended!

Just go in this place... Something unique. The time is stop here before century, u feel the spirit of this bar, spirit of amazing peoples who was there... For me it's a dream who goes real. Take a good book, a good company and drink Absente.

What an extraordinary spot! We loved the ambiance and savored our drinks. It feels like a place where the spirits of Hemingway and Picasso have left their enchanting marks, infusing the atmosphere with a touch of their creative magic. I really recommend it!

Great place with authentic space and dust that wasn't wiped out for 200 years. It's a must visit if you were in Barcelona and you really want to feel the history of the city.

A very cozy place to come for some beer, wine or absinthe. The prices are a little high next to other bars in Barcelona, but for the history and original interior, this bar is highly recommended. Also, nice olives

This ancient gem in Barcelona feels like a time warp. The paint in the ceiling is peeling. Dust covered bottles line the walls. The vibe is not your ordinary bar experience. I was amazed at the friendliness of the bartenders. I tried the absinthe sour, which is strong but tasty. I highly recommend visiting the bar where Picasso and Hemingway once frequented.

Amazing old bar looks genuinely untouched, brilliant atmosphere and excellent vermut well worth a visit
