Champañeria Can Paixano

This famous little Champañeria, tucked away in the city’s old sailors’ quarter, boasts an extensive selection of authentic, local cuisine served up with its very own Cava. Notorious for its frenzied atmosphere, the traditional tavern-style tapas bar attracts a good mix of local residents and inner city visitors during its often chaotic lunch and evening hours.An impressive array of meats and cheese greet you as you barge your way in and up to the bar. From there you can order from a wide but simple range of bites which will be with you, accompanied by a glass of bubbly, in a matter of minutes. The frantic and sometimes fiery display from the other side of the bar adds to the mood of a Tapas bar with genuine local charm.

Chupitos

Chupitos (means shots) specializes in creative, over-the-top shots with equally dramatic bar service. Most of the chupitos come with special performances by the bartender, some of which involve the actual bar being set on fire with a blowtorch.Not surprisingly, the house is packed every night with fun-loving young patrons clamoring for service, enjoying the show, and trying not to be set aflame.The space itself is little more than a dark and dingy corridor, with the bar on one side and a huge menu board full of intriguingly named shots on the opposing wall.Owing to the tight space and the dubious cleanliness of the facilities, Chupitos may be best enjoyed as a quick visit before heading on to the bars and clubs on the harbor.
