Bar Marsella

Barcelona, Spain

About Bar Marsella

Bar Marsella, open since 1820, is Barcelona's oldest bar and a rite of passage for any sports fan visiting the city — the kind of place Barça legends like Johan Cruyff have reportedly slipped into for a post-match absinthe over the decades. Dusty bottles of house absinthe line the walls, the dim lighting feels completely timeless, and the Gothic Quarter location makes it a natural stop on any post-match Old Town crawl. It's the antidote to the glitzy stadium bar scene.

Located in Barcelona.
