Drinks
Marlowe Bar operates behind an unmarked door in the winding streets of Ciutat Vella, the kind of place travelers stumble upon out of curiosity or hear about from a stranger on the street rather than find through a guidebook. Inside, the speakeasy atmosphere carries through with dim lighting and confident cocktails. It rewards a bit of exploration and works well as a spontaneous stop after a concert or evening walk through the old town. No reservation is required, which suits its low-key, discovery-driven appeal.

What people say
"Was leaving a show at Palau de la Música Catalana on a Sunday and a stranger on the street overheard us discussing looking for somewhere to have a drink and directed us to Marlowe. A chance encounter for the best! We ended up at Marlowe for late night cocktails and it did not disappoint. The menu is an innovative reimagining of many classics. The drinks were perfectly executed and we ended up back a second time during our stay."
