Tandem Cocktail Bar
Tandem Cocktail Bar
A narrow, old-school cocktail bar on Aribau that's been going for decades — no wider than a single garage, with a long varnished wooden bar and shelves of bottles running its full length. There's no signature gimmick; you tell the bartenders what you like and they build to it, classic or signature. Easy to walk past, which is half its charm. Open from lunchtime, later on weekends.
Background
About Tandem Cocktail Bar
The Story
Tandem is the neighbourhood classic that never chased a trend. A narrow, old-school cocktail bar on Aribau in the Eixample, no wider than a single garage, it runs a long varnished wooden bar with shelves of bottles down its whole length. There's no signature gimmick: you tell the bartenders what you like and they build to it, classic or bespoke. It's easy to walk straight past, which is half its charm, and it opens from lunchtime, later at weekends. For an unhurried, properly made drink away from the destination-bar queues, this is the move.
