A little cozy downstairs, but that's where the fun is actually at; upstairs is a dank, dark little club room with meh techie dance music, poor ventilation, no windows, and what my friend called "European funk."

I found this place by chance. After looking for a less touristic barcfor a few days I bumped into…read morethis place. This place reminded me of the Marz bar where I was a regular in NYC a lot in the 90's. The interior decor is mainly kisch and you feel like being on set on a John Waters film. They don't serve cocktails but pussytails. I know, a tourist trap but still all fun. Wifey and I wondered if this was a transvestite bar since it's decorated with pretty gay and pin up collages. You get free snacks when ordering, but we all know that salt make the average customer buy an extra unit. The staff is friendly and prices better than my hotel across the road, Barceló Raval. The place seems to have quite a few friendly regulars and we seemed to fit in immediately. But watch your valuables, a pick pocket dropped in and made a move on Wifey but was chased out by the nice bartender David. I highly enjoyed myself there and will return tonight and try to remember a bit more than last night. Most highly recommended.

Well worth the effort as you're transported into what can quickly feel like your personal neighborhood bar. Our initial bartender (no, mixologist) was a Peruvian woman named Rayza (probably spelled that wrong). Very friendly and did a great job trying to translate as much as possible into English. They change the drink menu 4 times a year and had just introduced the Summer menu a few days ago. Don't remember the exact names of the drinks we ordered but one was gin based and was Hunter/Hunting-something. The other was mezcal based with Luxardo bitters as one of the ingredients. Both were fantastic (uploading pics after the review). Well thought out and skillfully crafted by Rayza. She made a little too much of the mezcal drink so she poured it into a shot glass and presented it to me as a "refill" with a smile. Nice touch, but I told her it was for her to drink with me. As things got busier (we arrived around 10 pm and had our pick of seats at the bar), a male bartender started working our end of the bar. Sadly, we neglected to get his name but we enjoyed a great conversation as he made many creative drinks. A bar like this could be quite snobby about themselves. This one isn't. We look forward to coming back each time we visit Barcelona and highly recommend it if you can get there.

The walk to Collage was magical already but then stepping inside transported me to another realm of wonderment. It's dark, it's sexy, it's got so many potions to create a drink unlike any other. There's an upstairs lounge area that feels more like a salon of a bygone era and then there's the intimate bar downstairs where I saddled up. I was immediately taken with both male bartenders...one French, one Italian. Both spoke Spanish and English. It was as if my Weird Science mind had produced two handsome, intriguing characters purely for my entertainment! But, on to the drinks. Their cocktail menu is a beaut. There's not a ton on it, but each beverage is described in paragraph form so you know its origin story before meeting your lips to its glass. These concoctions were eclectic takes on the classics. Some were aflame, some were served alongside fun accoutrements, and some were just plain funky, but in an intriguing way. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. I had two and each one had its highs, sans any lows. The best part was sitting and chatting with the bartenders and the fact that they have a Yelp check-in offer for a free shot, which is pretty impressive to see anywhere in Europe (even though the bartender wasn't as keen on this offer as I was to use it...a mezcal shot we both did!). Not to mention, they host cocktail making classes often. If you're headed to (or in) Barcelona, I recommend scheduling one to get a behind-the-scenes look at the makings of these fine libations.

Well, they made me a fan. Nicolas, our waiter, provided very good service and helped us make decisions. Wine: (not included in the menu) Roura Xarel-lo €14. Went well with the food. Food: * Tracie - Green salad with tomatoes and bleu cheese. She ate 100%. * Dave - Egg & Potato salad with a sweet mustard mayo. Hearty. Delicious and very filling. * Tracie - Chicken breast stuffed with cheese and mushrooms. A large portion. Rich flavors. * Dave - Pork with rice. The rice was cold and had lemon in it. Refreshing. The pork was tender. I ate it all. * Dessert - Pear-Apple Crumble. I added a shot of blueberry Patxaran to go with it while Tracie had coffee. + Music - soothing jazz. + Flatware - medium weight Comas. + Wi-Fi - very fast. + Rear dining room has a tiny garden in the back. - Paper napkins. €40.45 for lunch for 2.

I had lost my wallet and was moving through the huge crowd on the floor, accidentally bumped into an employee (staff shirt and earpiece) and immediately apologized multiple times in both Spanish and English and explained that I lost my wallet, but he grabbed me by my shirt and screamed at me "I don't care about your wallet!" and shoved me away. I thought he was going to harm me physically with how loud he yelled at me, how tight he was gripping my shirt, and how angry he came off after a simple mistake and profuse apologies. Luckily, the bouncers at the door were helpful. I told them I lost a wallet and they immediately had it and asked basic questions of what it looked like and what was inside. Once I confirmed they gave it back, told me to be safe and to have a great night. I can't give this place more than 2 stars for the physical harassment and blatant disrespect I faced at the hands of an employee. That employee needs better training for how to deal with large crowds, which are super common here (I have been 10+ times). It seems that most of the employees, particularly the bouncers, are here to help, which is amazing. I love it here, but with this experience it's hard to want to come back.

There's few things more annoying in life than Google telling you somewhere is open, only to show up and find out it is not. I get it, that's Google, it's ultimately a 3rd party thing, and stuff can go wrong when that is setup. What I find unacceptable is when a businesses actual homepage is inaccurate. That's your homepage, and you're 100% responsible for making sure it is providing accurate information to your customers. So after finding their open hours, and being lured in by their offer for free futbolin from 17-21 every Friday and Saturday, I showed up at 1722 Saturday, August 22nd only to find their doors closed, and no signs of life at all. Thanks for making me come all the way down for nothing, and wasting a bunch of my time. I won't be back.
