Modernista classic Muy Buenas has been a bar since 1928, and wears its past proudly with stunning and sinuous original woodwork, etched-glass windows, old tiles and a marble bar. Though the cocktails are impressive, these days it’s more restaurant than bar, expertly turning out traditional Catalan dishes such as esqueixada (salad of shredded salted cod) and fricandó (pork-and-vegetable stew). As for their bars at the entrance and upstairs, they use only Catalan liquors in their dedicated cocktails. If you can’t decide on which drink to try, consider the Queen Joan Capri – a gin cocktail infused with cucumber, beer, lemon, rosemary honey, sugar and lime.
