Sips

Sips is an elite cocktail bar located at C/ de Muntaner in Barcelona, ranked third on The World's 50 Best Bars 2025 and recognized as the World's Best Bar in 2023. Owned by Marc Alvarez and Simone Caporale, this innovative venue features a central island bar with custom glassware and no bar stools, placing bartenders and their creations center stage. Every drink is a masterclass in technique utilizing ingredients made by rotovap stills, with creative offerings like the Primordial—a blend of 12-year-old Scotch, Ruby Port and pera nashi served in a metal hand cast. The bar operates as a booking-essential experience, with a sister venue called Esencia seating just 14 patrons for curated tasting menus exploring the limits of liquid creativity. Sips represents Barcelona's molecular gastronomy heritage translated into cutting-edge cocktail craft.
