La Confiteria is a timeless cocktail bar housed within a striking modernist interior on Carrer de Sant Pau in the vibrant Raval district. Its origins trace back to 1912 as a confectionery, and many original architectural features remain—hydraulic tiles, marble-and-wood bar, vintage cash register, even old storage drawers—lending a deeply historic and authentic ambiance. In 2014, the bar was revitalized by Grup Confiteria, a local group renowned for rescuing emblematic bars of Barcelona and breathing new life into them through creative, identity‑rich hospitality projects. La Confiteria was their first venture. Today, it is celebrated as an “authentic cocktail bar” with a classic, understated drinks menu that honors tradition while adding a contemporary twist. Its atmosphere is cosy, refined, and inviting—perfect for aperitivo lovers, vermouth enthusiasts, or anyone looking for an intimate pre‑theatre tipple in a space soaked with character. Guests admire the friendly service and the authenticity of the bar, frequently noted in reviews as “a gem… kept as it had been as a sweet shop” with a “superb menu of drinks”. Its preserved elegance, paired with its top‑notch cocktails and vintage charm, makes it a standout destination in Barcelona’s nightlife and cocktail scene.
