Oscar Wilde once said that “with the first drink of absinth you see things as they are not, with the second one you see things as you wish they were, and after the third cup you see things as they really are, and it was the worst view ever”. So if you want to stick with the second drink of the so called aphrodisiac of the soul, with all the ritual of melting the sugar cube with the proper spoon then don’t be frightened … no harm will come to you.

Hello all
Bill, your link doesnt work mate.
I like the bar and I go there quite often. In my litle experience as a plain customer the people working there just do their job, but they are human after all and might have their flaws.
It’s a pitty that they spoiled the evening to David and those catalans they were shouting at just because they had a bad day.
Each head is a different world, and it doesnt matter what are others believes as long as each one occupies their space without invading the one beside.
Now that this polemic dithyramb arised, I wont go there just to drink and share the mood with whoever I go with, but will keep an eye in the surroundings to see whats going on, before setting this article offline.
Im sorry for the bitter moments they might have caused.
regards
Rafa
“I can guarantee that Casa Almirall is a place free of fascist issues”
So, how do you explain this: http://goo.gl/IEjQt

Dear readers of spotted by locals:
The information posted above by ‘David’ IS COMPLETELY FALSE.
Me, myself, I worked in Casa Almirall several years and I can guarantee that Casa Almirall is a place free of fascist issues. It is a very nice modernist bar. Very well conserved by the owners. With nice music and nice atmosphere.I have never seen something like that with any of my mates. It doesn’t make any sense. ‘David’ is someone that wants to make bad things and he is brilliant with his lack of imagination.
Cheers,
n.
Thank you, David
Waiters of Casa Almirall were absolutely rude yesterday evening and shouted at four Catalans (two of them born in Africa) for asking in Catalan. Later, those waiters even refused to sign the complaints book and, together with the few clients then inside, cheered Spain and Franco.
