I've been going here for about 6 months now. Â Definitely a unique place and usually fun. Â They have a lot of shots that they turn into experiences. Â Like the "Harry Potter" with lots of fire involved and the "Full Metal Jacket" with a lot of shots and berating the patrons for fun. Â That's kind of where it turns bad. Â The bar tenders have such shitty attitudes it's ridiculous. Â I've taken tons of friends there, spent a lot of money, made new friends there and generally everything was great. Â Went there the other night and one of the bartenders (Casper, apparently he's new) starts hating on me big time while I'm talking to a group of girls. Â They weren't impressed and I wasn't thrilled about it either. Â Starts making up lies to the bouncer about me, little did he know I'm friends with the bouncer and he knows I don't act inappropriately. Â Unfortunately I won't be returning to give them business.
Pros:
Fun shots
Lively young crowd
Cons:
Small and dirty
Bar tenders attitude
Can get really crowded
Bar tenders attitude
Can take a long time to get a drink

Barcelona Bar is a MUST if you're in the Midtown/Hell's Kitchen area!! Â This place is a fun time not to be missed. Â There's an entire list on the wall of the types of shots they serve! Â Everything I had was amazing.
I highly suggest the Chocolate Pretzel shot...and yes, it really tastes like a chocolate covered pretzel!! Â
It's a tiny hole in the wall place, and very homey inside. Â The service is beyond friendly, and made the experience even more memorable!! Â Perfect place to sit and chill with your friends and a fun stop on any night of bar hopping.
Okay so I've been to the real 'barcelona' bar in Barcelona where they have over 500 shots for 2 euro each. This place has good unique shots but they are kind of pricey. I've come here a few times with friends literally just to get a fun shot or two before moving elsewhere. It's worth coming here just to order the shots where they set the bar on fire. My friends and I love that!
The bar is very narrow so if everyone is sitting you'll have to squeeze by, but the bartenders are friendly and we've never had a problem actually ordering. I recommend the Harry Potter shot! I won't spoil it for you- Just do as I say and get it.
