Two Schmucks has been ranked in the World's 50 Best Bars list for years and remains defiantly unpolished. The bar is small, loud, and intentionally rough — the antithesis of the polished cocktail bar template. AJ White and Moe Aljaff run the bar and the philosophy is no attitude, no pretension, just seriously good cocktails.
The drinks are precise. The bartenders are friendly and unhurried. The cocktail menu rotates and runs to elaborate originals alongside the classical canon. The atmosphere is best Tuesday to Thursday for the conversation.
The crowd is mid-thirties Barcelona cocktail enthusiasts, industry people, and curious travellers. Pair with Paradiso for a Barcelona world-ranked cocktail evening contrasting polished and rough.
