Bar Marsella

Bar Marsella has poured drinks from the same narrow room in El Raval since 1820. It’s a bar that drinks seriously, with bottles gathering literal dust on shelves and an interior that has accumulated, not curated, its atmosphere. The drink most associated with it is absinthe, served in the traditional preparation with water and sugar. This is a physical constant in a neighborhood that has cycled through artists and tourists, offering strong drinks without performance or pretence.
