Esencia: In Sips

A new private drinking space has been acquired within the world’s best bar voted in 2023.

This bar in a bar concept has been curated by none other than the masterminds behind this tasting experience.

Simone Caporale and Marc Alvarez of the highly valued Barcelona venue have launched a unique model.

The essence of Esencia is encapsulated behind the main space of Sips and they share nothing with the present drinkery of Sips, except a front door.

Simone made his mark in the world of bespoke creation as he worked in The Langham, London, the world’s best bar voted four years in a row.

Marc, likewise an industry heavyweight, has reaped his experience since the age of fifteen and once managed the programme of drinks in the Barri Group’s six restaurants and bars.

Now both bartenders create their excellence in a mantra only fit to be called the best European bar on the continent.

The pair opened Sips in 2021 with a vision of forming a space that evolves with an immense measure of craftsmanship within its interior.

Esencia leads this pattern of creating a palate of exploration in a tasting menu for the connoisseur of cocktails.

The Italian and Spanish combo of elite bartenders deliver guests associated drinks in a showcase of raw materials reflecting on a menu of classics.

Sips is located in L’antiga Esquerra de L’eixample district at the heart of Barcelona. Online bookings only at Esencia – Sips Barcelona
