Founded in 1856, it is considered one of the city's oldest bars. Famous personalities such as <strong>Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway and Joan Mir\u00f3.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Marsella is best known for its signature drink, Absinthe, served in the French tradition. It's also appreciated for its authentic atmosphere and period decor. Marsella is considered <strong>a landmark of Barcelona culture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc125401270\"><\/a><strong>Bar Marsella in Barcelona: Fancy a little absinthe?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In the heyday of the Marsella, loyal customers would buy their own bottle of absinthe, pour themselves a few glasses and store it in the bar's display cabinets until their next visit. The bottles adorning the walls are now over a hundred years old and unfit for consumption.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A glass costs about 5 euros<\/strong> and is served with a lump of sugar and a little water. Pour the water over the sugar so that it penetrates the alcohol, and you can enjoy it once the sugar has disappeared into the beverage. Rest assured, <strong>absinthe diluted in sugar water is not strong.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>A few words about absinthe, the bar's speciality<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Absinthe is an alcoholic drink made from plants, mainly grand wormwood, which contains thujone. It was very popular in Europe, particularly in France, in the XIX\u1d49 century. Quickly banned in many countries due to its high alcohol content, absinthe is still accompanied by the belief that<strong>it caused hallucinations and violent behavior.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Absinthe is generally green, although it can also be other colors, and has a pronounced aniseed taste. Traditionally served with ice water and a sugar cube to sweeten the taste, <strong>it contains only 60 to 70 % of alcohol.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc125401271\"><\/a><strong>Experience the atmosphere of Marseille<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Marsella's regulars are mostly in their thirties. The relaxed atmosphere of the place provides a casual ground where lively conversations abound. It's a place where people come together to <strong>enjoy a drink and socialize in a relaxed setting<\/strong>. As the bar has a long history, you can also find older customers who come to drink absinthe and reminisce about the good old days.<\/p>\n<p>Because of its historical significance and reputation, it's a popular spot for tourists and locals alike. Many visitors come to the bar to <strong>experience the authentic atmosphere and try the traditional absinthe ritual.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc125401272\"><\/a><strong>What are the opening hours?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The bar opens its doors:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sunday to Thursday from <strong>5 p.m. to midnight<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Friday and Saturday from<strong> 5 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc125401273\"><\/a><strong>How to get to Bar Marsella in Barcelona<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To get there, you can borrow :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/metro-barcelona\/\">metro<\/a> and <strong>get off at Liceu or Drassane station<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>the <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/bus-barcelona\/\">bus<\/a>\u00a014, 17, 19, 36, 39, 45, 57, 59, 64 or 157<\/strong> and get off at the Barceloneta-Sant Carles stop, then walk for about 3 minutes to get to Marsella<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now you know how to spend a good evening with friends in Barcelona.
