Barcelona Drinks with a View
Who doesn’t love a good drink with an incredible view? In Barcelona, drinks with a view usually involves an elevated experience.
Luckily, there is no shortage of rooftop bars and restaurants to enjoy a good drink, tapas, and scenery.
Fortunately, Barcelona has an abundance of clear sunny days. The views include the stunning Barcelona skyline, Mediterannean Sea, and iconic architecture.
In addition, walking the Barceloneta Beach promenade can be enough. Of course, with a drink in hand!
When visiting a new city I find it’s good to pause and take it all in. Appreciate the city from a different point of view.
Typically, I like to include these rooftop spots to elevate my sight-seeing experiences. Of course, catching the Barcelona sunset atop a hotel rooftop bar is not to be missed.

Follow this guide to Barcelona drinks with a view to help narrow down your search. I picked a few spots throughout the city. As always, remember to enjoy yourself and be social!
Hotel Ayre: Attic Terrace
This hotel and rooftop bar are located one block away from La Sagrada Familia. Take in 360-degree views of Barcelona from the Attic Terrace rooftop bar.
Additionally, the views of Gaudi’s La Sagrada make this my top choice in the area.
Make sure to take a break from the La Sagrada tourist crowds. Have a drink with an unparalled vantage point. The 9th floor terraza design is open and spacious.
Expect to take plenty of Instagram worthy shots to share with your friends.
Location: Carrer de Rosellon, 390, Eixample neighborhood
Mandarin Oriental Hotel: El Terrat
El Terrat offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of Passeig de Gracia. The rooftop is designed to be serene and tranquil. It is located on the 9th floor of the 5-star Mandarin Hotel Barcelona.
This elevated oasis is a prime spot to relax and have a glass of cava. In addition, the Peruvian cuisine is excellent. Enjoy a picturesque Barcelona sunset with some tasty food and drinks.
The hotel is situated between Placa Cataluyna and Gaudi’s Casa Botllo. This rooftop terrace is in the heart of the city. I love the 360 degrees views and up close sightlines of Barcelona’s famed architecture.
I make this a regular stop to take a break from shopping and sight seeing.

Hotel 1898: La Isabela Rooftop Terrace
Enjoy an escape from the busy La Rambla area of Barcelona. La Isabela rooftop provides 360 degree views from the 7th floor terrace and pool area.
Get a close-up of the Barcelona Cathedral and other neighborhood rooftops in the Gothic Quarter. Additionally, Montjuic & Palau Nacional are visible in the distance.
The Hotel 1898’s central location means you can pop in for a quick bite or drink. The restaurant sources its ingredients from St. Joseps Boqueria Mercado.

W Hotel Barcelona: Wet Deck & Eclipse Bar
One of my favorite hotels to stay and play is the W Hotel Barcelona. The iconic all-glass hotel is located right on Barceloneta Beach.
The Wet Deck offers close up views of the Mediterannean Sea. Enjoy a drink and a bite amongst music and social vibes. The pool terrace has great views of the palm tree-lined beach.
In addition, high on the 26th floor you will find the Eclipse Bar. There are un-paralleled views of the Sea, Beach, and Barcelona City.
The bar has a panoramic all-glass enclosure. Enjoy a well mixed cocktail and unforgettable views. Please check with the hotel for hours.
Close to midnight, the Eclipse Bar turns into a high energy nightclub. Or come close to sunset for a drink and a magical view.
Location: Placa Rosa del Vents, 1 , Barceloneta Beach Neighborhood
Hotel Majestic: La Dolce Vitae
For a sophisticated experience head to the iconic Majestic Hotel. Located in the heart of Eixample along the famed Passieg de Gracia.
La Dolce Vitae is located on the 10th floor. Enjoy a glass of cava, champagne, and other drinks. The tapas from a Michelin star chef are also a good choice.
In addition to the drinks and food are the views to match. Catch the sights of La Sagrada Familia, Montjuic, and beautiful rooftops along Passeig de Gracia.
I highly recommend visiting Hotel Majestic. It is one of Barcelona’s famous hotel destinations.
Location: Passeig de Gracia, 68-70, Eixample Neighborhood (central)
Grand Hotel Central: Sky Bar
Grand Hotel Hotel guests will have access to the Sky Bar at all times. Others will have to wait until 8pm. However, it is well worth visiting.
The infinity pool is considered among the best in Europe. The views of the Gothic Quarter and the Barcelona skyline are fantastic. There is a fun and exclusive vibe to the Sky Bar.
Come and enjoy some drinks and tapas. After a day of sight-seeing, the Sky Bar offers great views of Barcelona.

Bar La Deliciosa: Barcelona Drinks with a View Beachside
There are many Barceloneta beach bars to grab some tapas and drinks. My favorite is Bar Deliciosa.
Enjoy the beach vibes and Mediterranean views with fresh juices, tasty cocktails and tapas.
Strolling along the beach promenade at sunset is quite magical. I think it is an essential experience for any visitor.
I recommend the Spicy Coconut mojito from La Deliciosa! It is one of my favorite Barcelona drinks with a view.
Location: Playa San Miguel, Barceloneta Beach
Barcelona is one of Europe’s most picturesque cities. Rooftop bars and restaurants are great ways to enjoy the views. I encourage visitors to add these locations to their plans.
