Venir aquí siempre es una auténtica experiencia! Los cócteles que sirven son muy elaborados y cada vez, tienen variedades nuevas. Con razón se trata de uno de los mejores bares de cócteles a nivel mundial. Por lo tanto, siempre hay mucha cola. Nos encantó el sistema de la cola virtual que ofrecen a veces: se pone en una cola virtual, mientras uno espera, puede estar en otro sitio y en cuando haya sitio, uno tiene 10 minutos para venir y no hay que hacer cola afuera. Estaría bien, ofrecer esto siempre. Entonces, tampoco habría una cola larga delante, como casi siempre.

Es toda una experiencia ir al bar. Te explican el concepto de cada trago, todos tienen una manera especial de servirse. Pedimos los tragos kriptonite, nazca y milky way. No le teníamos mucha expectativa a la comida pero nos sorprendió para bien. Súper rico todo. Pedimos stracciatella, pan ahumado, chips y sandwich cheddar (este último fue el que menos nos gustó). Sirven agua gratis y un pequeño trago de bienvenida para la comida. El personal muy amable y atento, el ambiente en general muy agradable. También creíamos que íbamos a gastar muchísimo y al final estuvo muy bien la relación calidad-precio. Lo único es que el espacio es reducido. El diseño de interiores del espacio muy original. Hicimos la reserva/cola virtual, dimos un paseo mientras nos asignaban una mesa.

Una experiencia genial . Desde luego merece estar entre los 50 mejores bares del mundo. Un servicio excelente y mención especial a Ángela, un encanto en todos los sentidos. 100% recomendable y volveremos.

De las mejores coctelerías del mundo porque además de tener de los mejores tragos, el equipo de Paradiso hace de la experiencia algo increíble y personalizado al detalle. No menciono a nadie porque sino debería mencionarlos a todos pero sí destaco que es un verdadero placer ir y, además, un momento de diversión de principio a fin

Sin duda los mejores cócteles de Barcelona!!! El servicio es increíble y ambiente muy divertido. Pero en mi experiencia todos los aplausos se los lleva Eva; me dió las mejores recomendaciones de cócteles(Atlantida y MilkyWay), me fui completamente feliz del lugar. Una visita obligada en Barcelona. Gracias por todo!!!

Amazing bar that is worth waiting online for. There is a second speakeasy inside of the bar that we were invited to check out during our visit. All of the drinks were very good and very differently styled.

I can’t begin to explain how much of a positive experience I had at this bar without turning this review into a diary entry. Time of my life! The presentation; the atmosphere; the attention to every single detail; the staff! THE STAFF 🤩 Andrea 300/10! Each and every Mixologist was magnificent and so was their craft.

I’m happy I tried several cocktails, but the experience was mixed. While explaining the drinks, being told “we are not good at English in Barcelona” felt strange — especially in a city with more tourists than locals. We were also told that as a group of guys we could only sit at the bar, and that priority seating goes to girls to attract customers. The cocktails were good, but these comments affected the overall experience.

Paradiso is absolutely worth the hype. Even though they don’t take reservations and you’ll likely have to queue, it’s 100% worth the wait. The moment you step inside, the atmosphere feels warm, creative, and welcoming. The cocktails are not only delicious but also beautifully crafted — each one feels like an experience. What stood out most was the service. The staff are genuinely friendly, attentive, and make you feel valued from the moment you walk in. Their energy and hospitality really elevate the whole experience. If you’re a cocktail lover, Paradiso is a must-visit in Barcelona. I’d happily queue again!

We had such a wonderful night at Paradiso. From the moment we arrived Federico the bartender welcomed us with so much warmth that we instantly felt at home. Every cocktail he crafted was thoughtful, creative, and absolutely delicious. We spent half of the night in the secret Macallan room, and time just flew by. We were so wrapped up in the cozy atmosphere & incredible drinks that suddenly it was 2 a.m. Paradiso didn’t just serve us cocktails; it gave us a truly memorable experience. The team's kindness and talent made the night feel personal, special, and one we’ll be talking about for a long time. Highly recommended!

Great experience. Very well executed cocktail, all with crazy gimmicks and presentation and unique glassware. Its not your regular bar so be aware of that. Absolutely worth it! Also shoutout to Andrea for doing an amazing job.

Suresh Kumili

This bar has been ranked no.4 in the world and for a good reason. Absolutely impeccable cocktails presented in a very creative way. The bartenders know what they are doing and are also amazing in holding a conversation while they go about their business. Love it. Will definitely return to this place next time I am in Barcelona :)

Paradiso is a truly magical place in the heart of Barcelona. Every visit feels special — the atmosphere is stylish yet welcoming, the cocktails are exquisite, and their presentation is a real work of art. What’s even more impressive is that they also offer non-alcoholic cocktails, which is rare for a bar of this level, so you can even come here with a child. Yes, there’s usually a queue at the entrance, but it’s absolutely worth the wait — once inside, you immediately understand why Paradiso is among the best bars in the world.

I'm not a fan of cocktails, but Paradiso is a worldwide reference (used to be the top 1 few years ago!) so I decided to go for it. Getting in is already an experience (hidden door in a small grocery shop) and once inside the decoration is amazingly impactful: resembles a jungle In a modernist style. Service is also extremly good: knowledgeable, smart, funny, efficient... they hava it all! Cocktails were surprisingly the worst of the whole experience or, at least, the ones not mitting the bar: while most of them were presented in a creative way, too many did not have similar great taste. Recommended though...at least for once.

Atmosphere: 9/10 Hidden in El Born behind a fridge door inside a pastrami shop, Paradiso delivers one of Barcelona’s most iconic entrances. Inside it’s tropical and stylish, buzzing with energy, with plenty of bar seating and group tables. The backbar looks sharp, though the music felt a bit too quiet. Drinks: 8.5/10 Recommendation: The Cloud, Secret of Java The menu is creative and heavily designed, with imaginative glassware, bold garnishes, and striking presentation. Every detail leans into spectacle. The drink list is big, but flavors and balance don’t match the level of show — presentation clearly takes priority over substance. Service: 7/10 Water is served right away. Staff are friendly, professional, and attentive. The real drawback is access: no proper reservations, long wait lines, and an unreliable QR waitlist system. Prices are above average for Barcelona. Paradiso was ranked #1 on The World’s 50 Best Bars in 2022 and is currently #10. While the presentation is truly unique, the overall experience doesn’t feel like “one of the world’s best bars.” It wouldn’t make my personal Top 50.

Sometimes it's interesting to read previous reviews before writing your own. Scrolling down, there are comments about the virtual queue outside the door and about the quality and price of the cocktails. I can't comment on the virtual queue, as I arrived at the bar very early and was the second guest to be allowed in. However, I didn't notice any discontent while waiting, and the Romanian who was responsible for organizing the queue was extremely friendly. However, I can certainly comment on the cocktails, as I am familiar with many bars and the industry. For me, it was the most enjoyable evening I have ever had in a bar. Starting with the fantastic service from our bartender Dorian, to the wonderful menu, the creativity of the cocktails, and, above all, of course, the taste. In terms of presentation, I have never experienced anything even remotely similar. Whether it's the best bar in the world is for those who have been to every bar in the world to judge, which I haven't. But I only know of one bar in Singapore that comes close to the inspiration and quality of Paradiso. Cheers, guys (and gals)

The most unique cocktails I've ever seen. Incredibly professional and kind staff as well. Great atmosphere in the bar. The menu itself is a piece of art, I also liked the restrooms, they fit the name paradiso very well. The stay in this bar was a surprising experience for all senses. Thank you for the great experience, Federico and team!

'welcome to paradise' is the welcome here and it's a wonderful introduction to a fun, surprising evening at Paradiso. well worth their number one bar in the world ranking recently. every occasion here is a great one, fuelled by delicious, creative cocktails and terrific, funny and warm staff. i have loved every visit

I was here first six years ago. I remembered at the time thinking that it was somewhere I would always recommend for pageantry and atmosphere, though at the time I felt as though some of the cocktails were a little unbalanced. This couldn't be further from the truth. The service was excellent, the bar still chic and professional and well cared for. All the drinks were balanced, well thought out, and expertly presented. I love the fact that non-alcoholic cocktails are in the mix with their main drinks- not added as an afterthought to the back of the menu. We had such a brilliant experience here; chapeau Paradiso!

The fact that this bar was no 1 in the 50 best says it all. A super friendly welcome as soon as you get in, I loved it, you usually find a cold atmosphere in some "exclusive" places, this was totally not the case. The drink list (the menu itself) is pure graphic art and the interiors are amazing. For their prices the cocktails were the best quality/price cocktails I've ever had, (69€ 4 cocktails). About the taste, that's subjective but they were perfect, you could feel all the hard work and study behind them.

Hicimos cola para entrar, unos 10 minutos. Una vez dentro te reciben con efusivos saludos( quizá algo excesivo, como ficticio). Los cócteles con muchos ingredientes. A mí juicio no le aportan nada que les haga inolvidables, ahora si, la presentación estupenda.

Una grata sorpresa, un local con encanto al que accedes através de una nevera así como un trato de 10 por parte del personal, amables y atentos, todos nos han recibido con saludos y sonrisas, nos han servido chupito de bienvenida y un vaso de agua que iban rellenando todo el rato a todas las mesas, al servir los cócteles, los camareros, explicaban sobre ellos y lo que simbolizaban, cócteles curiosos que también puedes consultar en una carta luminosa en la que te especifican detalles de ellos, luz tenue y música de fondo, por poner alguna pega, tal vez cambiaría un poco el tipo de música de fondo, dándole un ambiente más sensorial, pero bueno, eso va a gustos, la verdad que todo muy bien, un lugar que hay que visitar, hemos ido justo a la hora de apertura, viniendo también mi hija de 3 años por la que no han puesto ninguna pega, y hemos tenido que esperar unos 10 minutos para poder entrar

El trato y la presentación merece la pena. Si el local por dentro fuera un poco más nuevo sería una experiencia fantástica. El precio de los coctel un poco elevado para la cantidad que son. Aún así, si no te gusta alguno te lo cambian sin problema.

It’s popular so lines form quickly. The whole experience is very creative and whimsical. Bartenders are super talented it’s kinda amazing watching them put the same level of attention to each drink over and over again. There’s definitely a bit of showmanship going on but the taste of the cocktails backs up the theatrics. Best drink: kyptonite Verdict: would return and recommend !

Visiting from the U.S, I was given a recommendation to come check this spot out by a friend it was just ok for me. The entrance to the speak easy was cool, I like how everyone behind the bar greets the guests upon arrival, but we got taken to some tiny barstools that basically face the wall, thankfully there was a mirror on that wall so we can see behind us and what’s going on in the bar. The drinks looked cool, we didn’t get anything crazy just espresso martinis and my hubby got a sandwhich that he didn’t really care for. It’s super tiny in there but nicely decorated. I wish I had a better review, it just wasn’t what I was expecting I guess. Nice and friendly staff though. Also nice presentations for the drinks.

It’s ok, there are lots of themed bars, personally the venue and staff are better than the drinks but it’s worth a visit, everyone wants to go and you may queue to get in.

Really more a novelty stop, this absolutely lovely little space in the old city makes a fine conversation starter / first stop with your date, or a bit of culinary exploration in liquid form. "How did they make this taste like that?" But for enjoying some twists on craft cocktail making? Not so great. Despite a wall full of both rare and classic bottles, most of what's featured on the menu is...eccentric at best. I had two after discussion with the bartender, and both were okay but not what I would enjoy drinking despite having a very broad palate. Although famously ranked by "50 best", this is a lot different than other cocktail bars on that list (I've visited quite a few of them), including the others in Barcelona. Perhaps having hit the number one spot before, they didn't know where to go from there? Nice staff but also missing was bartender banter (at least in English) I've found at most top bars - the bar experience is heavily about that interaction, especially for the solo customer. What they offer *would* be great as a liquid tasting menu and I would return for that. But for full sized cocktails? Meh.

The atmosphere was amazing. Staff is amazing, very knowledgeable and very helpful. They have very unique and interesting cocktails. The only problem is cocktails are around 16-18 euros which I understand because they are using a lot of different ingredients for the serving and etc. but the taste of the cocktails were not good as excepted. These different ingredients are not for helping the taste only for the image.

We checked it out on a mid-week day on November, so we didn't have to wait long to enter. The entrance is fun, but the seating against the while is pretty awkward. We had to wait quite awhile before …

A hidden door entry, unique drinks and interesting atmosphere almost make the wait and price acceptable. We were kept waiting outside for 10 mins to get into a half empty bar. I assume they like havi…

Es un bar sólo para tomar fotos para Instagram. Tenía unas expectativas enormes por ser catalogado uno de los mejores bares del mundo en coctelería. La atención y el ambiente fueron muy buenos, sin embargo y con todo el respeto hacia el señor Giacomo, los cocteles dejaron mucho qué desear. Y no es la primera vez que me pasa en un bar “top”, al parecer la moda es enfocarse en técnicas culinarias super sofisticadas y hacer bonitos los cocteles para las fotos en Instagram, pero al final el sabor es muy deficiente. Los dos cocteles que probé esa noche en paradiso fueron un desastre, no difieren en sabor a un frutiño. He tomado cocteles que teniendo técnicas simples, SI son una explosión real de sabores y son contundentes. Estos me decepcionaron, el sabor muy suave, era como tomar refresco en polvo (frutiño o suntea), un helado con forma de cerebro (muy bonito) pero al final un helado sencillo que no le aporta nada al coctel. Prefiero cócteles simples (con técnicas clásicas) pero maravillosos en sabor y a mitad de precio.

Overrated place which has no decency to have a posted phone number for taking reservations. I would definitely not recommend. Try other night clubs instead. More bang for the buck.

Fuimos un grupo a tomar unos cócteles y el resultado fue decepcionante. Los cócteles eran caros y pesimos. Con unos recipientes que por buscar originalidad los hacían casi imposible de beber. En definitiva, quizás funcione entre jóvenes turistas que buscan nuevas experiencias, lo único destacable es la decoración y el pretendido glamur de la presentación del cóctel pero para quien quiera degustar un cóctel delicioso, mejor dirigirse a los sitios clásicos de reconocida solvencia.
