Milk
Milk was the creation of two Irish couples originating from California who decided to open a modern and elegant alternative in the heart of the Ciutat Vella. Milk cultivates its stylish design with a striking combination of painstakingly restored furniture, soft flowing colours, and an exquisite collection of ambient and chill-out music. The attending public is mainly young, and most come to socialize in the comfortable lounge-type sofas. The motto here is quality and close attention; both characteristics that they have managed to excel at. The creative cocktail menu offers some amazing specialities, such as the Porn Star Martini- made with vanilla vodka, or the Passoã- prepared with passion fruit.

Upiaywasi
Peruvian’s Tomasso de Luca and Rubí Baldeón decided, under this peculiar quechua name, to bring to the district of Ribera the tradition of having drinks with friends. Decorated in a colonial style, Upiaywasi installs its Latin style in a refined manner, including, in addition to a generous cocktail menu, salsa and Brazilian music that on weekends convert the establishment into an eye-catching dance floor. This playful and colourful venue is the ideal place for a hot date, or to dance the night away with a few good friends. The star cocktails are, without a doubt, the Pisco Sour, the Lady Sour Moonwalker and the San Francisco.

Borneo
Open since 1993, Borneo quickly positioned itself as a pioneer on the Born night circuit. Their huge windows allow for observation of the action going on from the outside, and invites passers-by to sample from their nutritional menu of tea’s and infusions as well as their home-made “mojitos” (crushed ice, spearmint, lime, syrup, rum, and club soda) and “caipirinhas” (traditional Brazilian drink made with cachaca and lime). Once inside, the walls are filled with a colourful collection of photography, cinema cycles and works by local visual-artists. It is clear to see how Borneo has become a Must-see on the Born night circuit; as much for its cocktails as for its calm and multi-coloured atmosphere that does not exceed the age of thirty.
