Princesa 23 is the name of this bar and is also its address. Located in the trendy Born neighbourhood, this restaurant-bar is the perfect place to chill out after work. To get there, take Metro Line 4 to Jaume I and walk down Calle Princesa. It is almost guaranteed that there will be a guy standing on the corner of the street handing out flyers for the bar. Their drink specials are top-notch: the week I was there, they were running a special that involved free shots just for presenting the flyer and buying a drink. They were also featuring Mojitos and Caipirinhas for 3.50€. This offer starts at 11PM.
The atmosphere is young, and most people come here to party before the party really begins, from about 11pm-2:30am. I would estimate that the clientele is comprised of half tourists, half actual Spaniards. It tends to be a very international crowd and most of the staff speak better English than Spanish. This night spot is just the beginning in Barcelona.
In relation to the atmosphere, this bar offers a Moroccan style couch, table and atmosphere. The Princesa 23 is a concept of lounge bar restaurant where you can meet people. The bar has also quotations on its walls from Gibran Khalil Gibran’s book: The Profit. And if you want to eat something; they offer Mexican and Spanish food for a reasonable price. Actually, you can have delicious “bocadillos” or some wonderful nachos with cheese…They also do a special offer, on the 23rd of the month. On this day, you can have a special menu or free! This menu is available for lunch from 12 to 4.30 PM and also for the dinner from 6 PM to 11PM.
You can also try the “chiringuito” Princesa 23, en la playa de la Barceloneta. The concept is the same but you don’t have the decoration, the couches and everything…and it is also more expensive. However, from 7 PM, they propose Mojitos for 3.50€…Even if the Mojitos is the speciality of Princesa 23, you can always take another cocktail because they have a wide choice. You could have a Daiquiri, a Green Paradise, a Margarita, a Beach babe Beach and much more!
I also recommend you to get a hotel (hotel barcelone) as soon as possible. Actually, Barcelona offers you a huge proposal of accommodation (hotels barcelone), so you just have to take advantage of it and look for it on the web.
