I'm sorry, I don't "get" it. I like cocktails although I am very particular on the type - not sweet and I would prefer to be able to taste the alcohol. Having been voted the best cocktail bar in the world, we thought we'd try it out.

Here's what was wrong with it, in order of noticing:

1. The crowd was very bro-y. 50% bro, 50% tourist (no judgment, I am also a tourist).
2. It was busy but we managed to get a seat at the bar. We were not offered nor given water at any point.
3. The cocktails on offer were pretty meh. Lots available if you like sweet fruity cocktails.
4. The service was terrible. There was one lady serving behind the bar and she was clearly struggling.
5. The cocktails were served in average glassware, with a straw. The ice wasn't cut beautifully, it was just ice like you would buy in a grocery store.
6. The cocktail itself was not very nice (it had cucumber and dill in it but all I could taste was the citrus).
7. The couple next to us asked the bartender if she could make something off-menu. She told her that she didn't know what that was and she could only make what was on the menu. A cocktail bar that won't make you something off menu?!
8. When we asked for the cheque, it took a good 10 minutes to arrive, after the bartender had gone walkabouts with our card.

I don't believe in speaking in hyperbole so I'm not going to give it one star. It was a perfectly serviceable cocktail bar if you like that sort of thing. I'm just really struggling to understand why this was voted the best bar in the world when places like Amor y Amargo exist. None of the above is conducive with top quality.
