Lito Baldovinos and Enric Rebordosa, creators of La Confiteria, l’Alegria, El Maravillas and El Paradiso, have a new bar called Dr. Stravinsky. A place whose main purpose is to produce their own distillates – which are brewed, filtered in cold, re-distilled and fermented – from medicinal plants, sprouted live in this very space and that produce unique flavours and sensations.
“The name comes from Igor Stravinsky. He said that he didn’t make music for the past or the future.”
Located in a hidden corner, this bar already has a legion of loyal fans of its homemade beverages. You have only to enter to feel that you are in scientific space due to its decor and the quantity of bottles that decorate its walls, but also to the distillery stills, volumetric flasks, glass jars full of macerations, circus mirrors, furniture etc…. As if that weren’t enough..it also holds a secret in the interior space, a secret room behind the bar, which can be reserved for parties or drinking cocktails privée.
In its menu, conceived by Norway’s best cocktail expert and barman Antonio Naranjo – you won’t find any type of cola drinks because, as I said, except the beer – which comes from an artisan distillery,- all the drinks are made in their artisanal manner. If you’re Barcelona supporters I recommend that you try the Camp Nou, a cocktail formulated by dill syrup, thyme and coriander distilled house gin, lime and chamomile tea or El Suculento, which has tequila and mescal infused with coriander, pepper syrup and lime. Very surprising!
The best option is to go and try them yourselves. The experience is well worth it. And oh! You might bump into Señora Josefa, a woman who lives locally who you can ask take away food from and whose stories will amuse you.
