One Of The World’s Top Bars Just Opened Another Bar Inside Its Barcelona Space

Esencia Sips Barcelona Bar

Barcelona-based bar Sips was just named the third best watering hole on the planet at The World’s 50 Best Bars awards, and now the space is opening another bar within the bar called Esencia. Coming this month, the new bar-within-a-bar looks to showcase the talents of Simone Caporale and Marc Alvarez.

With Esencia, Marc and Simone look to reimagine the modern cocktail experience and offer guests “an unparalleled tasting menu” from mid-October.  Occupying a custom-designed space behind Sips Drinkery House, the bar represents the evolution of hospitality, as they see it. 

Rather than outlining the drinks available, the menu will list a curated selection of concepts, such as ‘Ice’ and ‘Bloody Mary’, each of which denotes two or more cocktails designed to capture their very essence. On choosing their concept, guests will be presented with the associated drinks, in sequence, showcasing the innovation and inimitable flair of Marc, Simone, and their team. 

The front room will remain Sips Drinkery House, renowned for its creative take on immediately recognisable classics and Sips signatures. 

To celebrate the launch, Esencia have partnered with Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto and Savoia Americano. Created by Giuseppe Gallo, one of the world’s most respected mixologists, Italicus and Savoia “reinvent the aperitivo category for the modern age,” according to the brands.
