Comments :

Dali, Picasso, Gaud, Heminway... and many others famous artists used to come to the Bar Marsella to have a drink. Order an absinthe, a very strong french beverage, today forbidden in France, guess why! Open since 1820, probably the very first bar in Barcelona. Today you'll see locals, young alternative people and a few nostalgics from the french Mai 68.

Un décor décalé, une ambiance chaude, un service réactif...autant d'atouts qui font de ce bar une excellente destination pour boire une absinthe...

Cool

L'ambiance un peu ancienne est superbe, une bonne ambiance où les gens s'amusent et rigolent ! de plus l'absynthe est très bonne, on en abuse meme!!! Allez-y
par conte il fait chaud!!

crowded with American tourists

I was in Bar Marsella on the first Saturday night in December, arriving around midnight. It was extremely crowded but we got lucky and got a table shortly after we arrived. Then it got even more packed! Lots of American frat boys and sorority b's. Absente was an interesting experience but no more than other strong liquor. I'm surprised it is still banned anywhere where vodka is sold.

Drinking absinthe

Me and two of my buddies stoped in here for some absinthe. It was a great bar, not too crowded. Everyone was drinking absinthe there and nothing else.
