Bar Marsella

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.

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.

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!

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.

We had vermouth (which was great), they also gave us free chips and olives. When I asked for cava they said it was not cold and they offered me white wine instead (came from ~190 ml bottles and it was okay). The atmosphere and history are second to none, but it's a bit hard to rate this place. The service leaves a bit to be desired even for Spanish standards and it's quite frequented by tourists, many of whom are visibly uncomfortable.

Old and unique bar in Barcelona. Offers a good selection of spirits and drinks. In desperate need of some renovation, bit definitely worthy visiting! By the way… Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway were frequent visitors, they say!
