Boca Chica
Characterful above-restaurant drinks
The sophisticated Spanish set favours this sumptuous Eixample bar, a first-floor add-on to the chic Boca Grande restaurant downstairs. Here, the dashing staff flit about the premises equipped with ear-pieces to ensure guests unwinding on the bar’s low-slung sofas and daybeds are never without a drink. Cowhide stools and animal skulls add a Wild West undertone to the establishment’s Modernista feel, the work of local design legend Lázaro Rosa-Violán.
