The area

Address
Neighborhood: El Raval
Once a downtrodden corner of downtown Barcelona, this gritty area has seen a cultural resurgence boasting an excellent nightlife and one of the most multi ethnic spots in the entire city. A sense of humble authenticity protrudes from the many independent record stores, second hand shops, and student bars that seem to light up the streets day and night. The rocking epicenter, the MACBA Plaça, is a modern day forum for bohemian youth, abuzz with the sights and sounds of late-night gatherings and talented skateboarders showing off their latest tricks.

    Perfect bar if you are a Whisky fan. Really enjoyed the stop! Must visit
    One of the best bar experiences I ever had. Fantastic bar, great choices of whiskey, great interior and I really liked the music (possible to share the playlist? 😃) Thanks for the nice visit
    Thanks for your kind words! Sadly, TripAdvisor won't let us shre the links for the playlists, but you can look them up on Spotify: They're called La Whiskeris and are property of Kris Cowan. Cheers!

    Beautiful venue - must visit for whisky fan!
    We’d visited before to the smaller venue just off La Rambla, but was disappointed to find that one had closed, so we made our way to Gran Via to find this venue! This place is much bigger and decor is beautiful- really stunning. Penicillin cocktail is still my favourite! Only slight criticism is the long wait for drinks and lack of decent beer offering for non-whisky drinking partner! A must visit for whisky lovers though!
    Thanks for your words, cheers.

    Really great bar!
    Great cocktails and really friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere and decor with some nice tunes in the background. My husband was really happy with his whiskey which was recommended by the kind bartender and I got a cocktail with gin which was perfect 👌 Thanks guys!

    Our happy place in Barcelona!
    Loved the vibe of this bar. The staff and bartenders were outgoing and knowledgeable! The exceptional whiskey selections from all over-including many we had never heard of - added to the delight of this late night Barcelona spot. We found ourselves going back a second evening to try something new in a comfy bar that felt like home. If you love whiskey-this will be your happy place!

    The best way to end your day, a good whiskey or 500 to choose from.
    La Whiskeria was around the corner from our hotel so somehow we finished most evenings here. With what looks like over 500 different whiskeys to choose from, enjoy a flight - a tasting of 3 different whiskeys or discover something new. The staff are warm and welcoming, the bottle left with you to read or memorise the label. The decor awesome! My partner loves his whiskey and I loved their cocktail Pomello Rising. Food available to order but we just enjoyed our drinks and people watching.
    Thanks for your kind words, Traveler. Cheers!

    Give this a try, you won’t be disappointed!
    This place is absolutely brilliant! We are visiting from Scotland and they have really nailed that cosy snug feel like an old pub, and surrounded by beautiful bottles of whisky. It feels classy, but not snobby, and the staff are fabulous, really welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful! The cocktails…oh the cocktails…so so delicious, incredible flavours, and every one a revelation! For whisky lovers it’s a dream, but even those who don’t like whisky can enjoy a quality cocktail!

    Nic and Josh new whiskey bar
    This bar was one of the highlights of my trip to Barcelona. Their whiskey selection was very extensive with truly knowledgeable bartenders. Speaking of the bartenders, they are some of the friendliest people you will meet here and provide excellent service. Me and my friend found this place on accident but went back every night for atleast one round after it was discovered. Liv is one of the bartenders there and she absolutely blew me away with the level of expertise she showed. Can't rate this place any higher and you need to go forsure.

    Late night drinks with smoky whiskey
    Amazing atmosphere and very comfortable and well planed out venue. There is something to be said about a whiskey bar that’s classy yet not snobbish. A seasoned whiskey drinker or not, the staff make you feel very at home. Very professional crew who know whiskey (tell the what you drink and ask them to surprise you). Won’t be disappointed with a very good range of whiskey (the food was first class as well). Stay away from those drop Bears guys! This has to be the best whiskey bar in Barcelona.

If you are looking for a great whisky selection in Barcelona this is the place! Over 1,000 different bottles and a perfect atmosphere for trying whisky from all over the world. But we returned more than once because of the bartenders and staff. Mara’s smiling face every time we entered made us feel welcomed. Kiran made my wife some delicious cocktails including the Penicillin which was finished with a spritz of something that really brought it together. If you want to sit for hours and talk whisky Killian is your man! His whisky knowledge was astounding and took me through a tasting of many whiskies I have never tried in the states. They have a small food menu but the unpretentious atmosphere and staff made this a truly unforgettable experience.

We've visited here several times over the years and it's been a must do visit on each trip. However it is now a whisky bar with every type of whisky imaginable but we preferred it the way it used to be. They don't do Mojitos anymore and the prices were much higher for wine than last time. Friendly service and still a welcoming atmosphere but sadly no longer a must do fo us for future visits but if you're a whisky lover you'll love it.

Hi Gill, thanks for the comment! We've changed mannagment a year and a half ago and we're trying to take LaWhiskeria where it use to be: the top whisky bar in Barcelona. That's why now, you can choose from our 400+ whiskies. Also, we improved the quality of all the products we serve, but, sadly for all of us, we must pay more for better ingredients. being a cocktail bar we serve any cocktail your heart may require, giving we have the ingredients, being a whisky bar we dont put mojitos on the menu as it is a rum based cocktail and make much sense. We hope to have you back at our bar someday, we're sure you won't be disspointed with our seasonal-craft-cocktail-menu. Cheers!

Visited here on a holiday as I’m a huge whisky fan. Could not fault this place one bit. The guy behind the bar was so knowledgable and chatty. I think he enjoyed talking to me about whisky as much as I enjoyed talking to him. Great service. Tried plenty of whisky, great atmosphere and a huge selection! Would recommended to anyone who enjoys their whisky and wants to try new stuff or just for the experience itself. A must go to!

Visited with my twenty something daughter who is not a whisky drinker! If you are, it is somewhere you could get seriously poor! That said, our individual drinks were reasonably priced, it’s just that there is such a selection, you might not leave for a while. There is a menu of cocktails (including one gin based which my daughter thought was delicious), but the staff will happily mix any you request. I had a rye based Old Fashioned in the early part of the evening, then we went elsewhere for dinner (although the bar does offer a light menu). We went back for nightcaps and I had a great mint julep. Would highly recommend for the drinks, atmosphere and staff. A great place to introduce new people to the world wide range of whiskies. We of course, as Scots, were delighted to see the vast array of Scotch Malt. 😊
