Sips
Barcelona, Spain
Sips brings an open, sociable approach to cocktails on Carrer de Muntaner in Barcelona. Its main bar, Drinkery House, is arranged to encourage contact between bartenders and guests, with no conventional physical barrier separating the two. The setting reflects a broader idea: careful technique can be part of a relaxed evening in which flavour remains easy to discuss and enjoy. The drinks draw on classic cocktail making as well as methods from cooking and pastry. Recognisable ingredients are explored through different textures, densities and combinations, with clarification used for its effect on taste. Glassware and serving pieces are developed around the liquid, so their role is to support the way a drink is experienced. This attention to texture and presentation gives the menu a distinctive identity without requiring guests to approach it as a technical exercise. A conversation with the team can begin with familiar preferences, such as fruit, bitterness or a particular spirit, before moving towards something less expected. Drinkery House is the social centre of the Sips experience, suited to visitors who enjoy seeing considered cocktail making unfold within an informal bar atmosphere.
