Best Cocktail bars in Barcelona: Mana 75

Located just steps from the W Hotel, Mana 75 is one of our favorite new cocktail bars in Barcelona. The menu consists of traditional Spanish and Catalan dishes with a unique and modern twist. This new Barceloneta gem is everything we have wanted out of a beach-side paelleria.

When you walk into Mana 75 you feel the island/Mediterranean vibes with all the cool and crisp vibrant reds, tans, blues and golds. The open and welcoming ambiance creates a perfect setting for almost any occasion.

With large round table that can fit up to eight people comfortably, it’s the perfect setting for a lunch meeting with colleagues or a birthday celebration with family and friends. Mana 75 also has the perfect terrace for a romantic date or even casual drinks with friends.

And no matter the time or the occasion, Mana 75 has a menu to please everyone. Their “To Share” menu is perfect if you’re looking for tapas to go with your afterwork cocktails. We’re always a fan of traditional Spanish tapas like Patatas Bravas, but there’s something about Mana 75’s bravas that make our taste buds shout “Bravo!”.

Their spin on Calamares a Andaluza consists of a very tasty Kimchi mayo, that takes it from classic to modern. If you’re still in search of a good paella in Barcelona, Mana 75 has 9 different paellas to choose from, all equally delicious. They also have classics like Arroz Negro and Fideua for those looking for a paella alternative.

Best of all, Mana 75 has a fantastic cocktail bar that serves everything from a simple, yet timeless dry martini to a refreshing, minty mojito. Our favorite time to go to Mana 75 is right after work; Their terrace is great for enjoying the last few hours of sun left in the day and talking with colleagues or friends as dusk sets in.

The party isn’t over when the sun goes down of course! The terrace is beautifully lit with twinkle lights, creating a mood that will make you want to grab one more drink before heading home.

Don’t believe that a place this perfect could exist here in Barcelona? Try it for yourself and let us know how much you loved it in the comments!
