Seven consecutive years on the World's 50 Best list and a digital counter tracking more than 1.5 million cocktails served, Javier de las Muelas' Eixample institution operates on scale and specificity simultaneously. Over one hundred martini variations anchor a program that treats the drink as a genre rather than a recipe. The wood-and-leather interior channels English club tradition through a Catalan filter, and The Speakeasy, a hidden restaurant requiring a password, extends the experience into clandestine dining. Dry Martini is the bar Barcelona's industry measures itself against.
