Two Schmucks
Repsol SoleteRepsol's Solete distinction recognises casual dining spots, street food, and neighbourhood gems with outstanding quality.A self-styled "five-star dive bar" tucked down a Raval side street, built on a scrappy DIY ethos by founders Moe Aljaff and AJ White — graffiti-lined walls, mismatched salvaged furniture, and a drinks programme that rotates constantly rather than leaning on signatures. That programme carried it to No.7 on the World's 50 Best Bars in 2022, after No.11 the year before. Blink and you'll miss the door.
Background
About Two Schmucks
The Story
Two Schmucks is the anti-fancy bar that beat the fancy bars. Founders Moe Aljaff and AJ White built a self-styled 'five-star dive bar' down a Raval side street, graffiti-lined walls, salvaged mismatched furniture, and a drinks programme that rotates constantly instead of leaning on signatures. That restless creativity carried it to No. 7 on the World's 50 Best Bars in 2022, after No. 11 the year before. It's loud, scrappy and genuinely fun, the opposite of a hushed hotel bar, and the drinks are seriously good under the swagger. Blink and you'll miss the door, which is entirely the point.
