Elsa Bar

Time Out says

Sun Dec 4 2011

The mojitos are good, but the queen of this place is its owner, Elsa. Elsa Rivero was a famous bolero singer in Cuba. The star came on tour to Barcelona and she decided to stay. She sang for many years accompanied by Lucky Guri at the ‘Bodega Bohemia’, in London, and even has been on television with Mari Pau Huguet. So, is not a surprise that nowadays, while preparing a mojito using the secret recipe of the house (mix of two rums), she starts to sing 'Guantanamera' under the bohemian lights of this Gracia premise. Between a Cuban flag and wallflowers always filled with flowers, Elsa also sings when Barca wins.
