The Best Bars in Valencia

Valencia has its own cocktail, and its best bars still pour it. In the best bars in Valencia, the drink to know is Agua de Valencia, orange juice with cava, gin and vodka, the city's signature. One café on Abadía de Sant Martí, with roots in 1940, says the drink was born there and runs a workshop on how to make it. Another, by the Plaza de la Virgen and a pioneer since 1994, mixes European and American bar styles in an opulent room and makes its own liqueur. On Calle Císcar, a speakeasy asks groups of eight or more to book ahead, and along the same street, two streets from Ruzafa, a bar whose team makes almost everything it serves, from the syrups to the ice, hosts guest shifts from bars such as Sips in Barcelona. Inside the Meliá on Corts Valencianes, an Art Deco cocktail bar pours the classics alongside its own creations. These are the bars we would start with.
