Paradiso

Barcelona, El Born district, a stone's throw away from Parc de la Ciutadella, a Pastrami Bar and a retro-style fridge door. Behind the fridge door, a curtain opens like a theater, welcoming you to the trendiest Speakeasy Cocktail Bar in Barcelona. An unexpected entry that never ceases to amaze even loyal customers.  
 

In Paradiso, we find an interesting and captivating mix that embraces tradition and modernity in an elegant, young, and fun atmosphere. A unique, exclusive place where you can feel good and where you want to spend time, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Keyword: quality. 

It was 2015 when Giacomo Giannotti, together with Grupo Confiteria, opened the first example of a Cocktail Bar with an international and modern design in the heart of Barcelona. The idea with which Paradiso was born is to create a comfortable place, in which the customer feels at home, and an inclusive environment open to experimentation for Giacomo and his team, who can thus create always new and surprising cocktails, with careful attention to detail, design and the presentation of the drinks. 

Sinuously shaped wood to recall the sea of Barcelona, Carrara marble for the bar to recall his Tuscan origins and the bond with his family, tropical design elements, and a speakeasy inside the speakeasy.  

The different spaces of the venue are artfully connected to each other by sophisticated design elements and soft lighting, designed to give a perfect feeling of privacy and intimacy without limiting the view and the “open space” effect. Surely the bar is the masterpiece, immediately capturing the attention with the sinuous design of the wood that makes it one with the entire room, embracing walls and ceiling and designing the frame of a bottle rack with a great visual impact.
The tropical design of the walls accompanies in a second area, with tables for customers.  

Giacomo Giannotti is the mind behind the Paradiso Cocktail Lists, and together with his team they are the soul that guides customers from the entrance until they leave. The menu changes every year, keeping always a concept of originality. The quality of the ingredients, the choice of unconventional raw materials and the use of experimental and innovative techniques are the basis of every drink list proposed by Paradiso. 

The current drink list, Mysteries of the World, was presented in spring 2024. The inspiration behind the Mysteries of the World lies in the curiosity and passion for exploring the mysteries of our planet: from giant Egyptian pyramids and underground ones to microscopic fungi and bacteria, from the mystery of the human brain to the Great Flood, and on and on... 

A total of 15 new drinks, each honoring a mystery or dilemma, which has always haunted and given thought to the greatest scientists, as well as to each of us.
