The only Spanish tiki bar we didn’t like. Weird decor, lame drinks and music. Staff wasn’t friendly. The only reason to go there is it is in Eixample neighborhood.
The place is classic spanish crappy tiki-thematic bar.
It has good tiki decor as all those similar places in Spain.
Drinks are not tiki, same liquid crap in same porcelan spanish mugs as other similar places in Spain. Good thing is that they have a card where you can find the content of each drink. They serve nuts and bisquits together with drinks.
Staff is friendly, no English.
Music is not tiki. At times I happened to visit the music was playing quietly country-style.
No aquarium.
Not much worth to visit, but if you do, order Coco Loco or Coco Pae Pae, coconut drink which is popular for locals.
We arrived relatively early on a Thursday evening and were among the first patrons. The staff seemed surprised we had arrived, but were very friendly. While our server didn't speak English, he overheard us speaking and brought us both the Spanish menu and a laminated chart in English of the drinks and their ingredients. The seating for parties appears to be primarily in secluded bungalow style booths, which while visually neat contributed to the feeling of being the only patrons. In fact, even with other parties trickling in throughout the night the place never got especially busy, and was quiet enough that it occasionally felt strange. What music there was appeared to be a transistor radio softly playing 60's rock n' roll from behind the bar. Drinks were served in tiki appropriate mugs with flourishes (sparklers, dry ice smoke, etc.). They tasted good too, but tended to the sweeter side. Decor is somewhat unconventional, blending Polynesian with Asian and even South American elements.

Stopped in since it's a block away from my favorite Korean restaurant in Barcelona. I liked it. The gentlemen working there were very friendly, and service was a bit better than at Kahala. Sure, the Tiki vibe wasn't as great, but there was still plenty to look at. The bamboo factor was off the charts! Cool little enclaves to sit in and enjoy the drinks. I liked it.
Hasn't changed a bit form the other photos I've seen; that's a good thing. Stumbled across this by accident while driving through Barcelona. Distinctly Indonesian decor mixed with Polynesian and other. Just funky enough to make it unique and different. Very friendly and low key when we were there, but it was early evening (about 8PM or so). Spanish speaking only, but just a little Spanish goes a long ways. Really glad we stopped in. Had a couple drinks, bought some mugs, enjoyed the stay.
Well, the tiki environment isn't thick, but I do like this bar - particularly the weird murals on the walls. The drinks are not as tasty as Kahala's, but much better than Aloha's. Seems to be a younger environment in the back with a local "old man" feel at the front bar. If you're staying in the Ramblas area, this is probably the closest tiki bar/easiest to walk to. Worth a visit.
