Background
About Sips
The Story
If Paradiso is theatre, Sips is precision. Opened by Simone Caporale and Marc Álvarez in the Eixample, it rethought the whole format, doing away with the traditional back bar so drinks are built around you rather than across a counter. It was named the World's Best Bar in 2023, and in 2025 it held No. 3 globally and Best Bar in Europe. The list is ambitious and ingredient-led, closer to a tasting menu than a drinks card, and the service is as considered as the liquid. Seats are limited and it's closed early in the week, so plan ahead. This is Barcelona cocktail-making at its most cutting-edge.
