This place was on my list of cocktail bars to visit while we were in Malaga and it did not disappoint. My penicillin had a unique twist with Sherry and was very good. The rest of my party's drinks including the yuzu negroni, barrel aged Manhattan, and a mojito were also very good.
Great cocktails, but an awful experience with the waiters. Gave an attitude about keeping one menu card to browse for the next cocktail, as well as giving an attitude when i corrected an order. Guys behind the bar were super nice though.
The atmosphere is amazing - you walk into a venue filled with dim red lighting and a pleasant, inviting scent. Even though I don’t drink alcohol, there were three alco-free cocktail options available for me, which I really appreciated. My friends were also very happy with the alco positions. The music and the bartenders were top-notch; watching the cocktails being made felt like a little bit of magic. Definitely recommend visiting.
It goes without saying that The Speakeasy The Pharmacy is the most outstanding cocktail bar in Málaga, and I would dare to say that in Spain. Its original idea from the manager Elias is well kept by his qualified and experienced staff and its top brand beverages, which overall make the atmosphere still more interesting with its delicious cocktails. Yet it's a bit dark for me, the manager wanted to give it a scent to this golden age of the 20s in the Dry Law immersed in the streets of Chicago. Multilingual staff can create for you really special just mixed cocktails decorated with the freshest flowers and smelly plants. A soft and calm atmosphere and music for its selected clients. We'll be back again for sure.❤️🍸🍹
A lovely speakeasy find - the bar tenders were helpful in deciding which cocktails we should have, the atmosphere was cozy, and warm. The cocktails?! Well you will just have to visit to make up your mind. We loved ours. One tip: get a seat at the bar to watch the bar tenders do their magic mixology thing up close :)
