1881

Barcelona


On the top floor of the Museu d’Història de Catalunya,1881 and its buzzing cocktail bar (open until 1am or 2am) have dazzling views over the waterfront. Txuletón (aged Basque beef) is a speciality, along with seafood fresh from the local docks, and Catalan and Basque wines. Swing by for sunset cocktails; the terrace transitions into a party space later on weekend nights.
