While on Roof Terrace at Casa Milà in Barcelona, we spied what appeared to be a lovely rooftop bar further down Passeig de Gràcia. After we departed La Pedrera, we headed down the street, entered the lobby and ascended the elevator in the Hotel Condes de Barcelona.
Entering Alaire Terrace Bar, we decided to sit outside to admire the astounding views of the immediate and surrounding areas of Barcelona. Down the street, there was Casa Milà and up another, Sagrada Familia.
A very nice drink menu offered cocktails, wines, champagne and beer. Prices were a little higher than in other places, but that was to be expected, as with all nice rooftop bars in good locations. A light tapas and food menu was also presented.
The rooftop atmosphere was energetic, yet relaxing, with many seating options. The service was very good and my drink option, beer, was very cold and tasty.
Since the afternoon was dwindling and the wind had picked up a bit, we decided to move indoors to enjoy our second drink, which was also a nice space with a large glass wall looking out onto the terrace.
All in all, our experience at Alaire was a very good one and I would recommend traveling up to the top of the Condes de Barcelona hotel if you are in the area. Enjoy a drink, enjoy an appetizer and enjoy the view!
