[This review is an alternative/addendum to Paul's review of Maria Mulata.]
One of my fave bars of the moment, Maria Mulata is a relatively small but friendly bar sporting sexy red walls, a low lit ambience and fab cocktails. Despite being a Latin American bar you'll find plenty of tourists and ex-pats and usually a jovial crowd to interact with. The speciality here, like many up-and-coming bars in this area is our old friend (and sometimes enemy!) the freshly made cocktail. I won't go into any details but they have the usual range of cocktails that you'll find in most self-respecting bars in Barcelona. As they go they are well made and well up to par! Moving on to more unique aspects, I'd recommend checking out their website as they appear to offer a variety of events from WII olympics to film nights and also a gourmet menu! The limitations of language really prevent me from painting a complete picture of this abode so I'd like to conclude by saying that if you're wandering/staggering/drifting around this neighbourhood looking for a lively bar with pretty much everything a bar should contain, check this place out, you won't be disappointed! By the way did I mention you get a free shot (chupito)too!?
