La Fourmi


C/Mila i Fontanals 60 : M Joanic L4
**** : $$$
This is one of my new faves in Gracia. Basically it's a cocktail bar on the lines of St Germain et al but the difference here is it's much less pretentious. Street inspired (or actual street) furniture make this is a small and yet warm bar to idle the night away. Sporting classic film posters, a simple and functional snack menu and a nice lack of TVs, projectors and all of the other gadgets that seem to be clogging up bars these days, this is the place to come to philosophise and 'put the world to rights'. Of course if your brain cells are shutting down after a hard day's slog you can always come here to assist them further with a range of cocktails (Happy hour until 10pm) and soak up the tranquil yet not soporific atmosphere that gracefully embraces this bar. If you are lucky you might get to meet the infamous DrinkBarcelona trio as a double bonus!
