点评:You never know how a recommendation from a friend of a friend will go; however, this recommendation was a hit!
We wandered in to Bobby Gin after an amazing dinner, and in typical American fashion we were practically the first ones there (it was about 10pm...the Spaniards were just starting dinner apparently, lol). It gave us a great chance to look around and chat up the bartender. It's a cute pub like establishment with over 80 gins. And truth be told, they did fill up around 10:30. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a Nordes Ginfonk and Basil Smash. At an average of 11-13 euros per drink, the prices are amazing considering we'd pay anywhere between $20-25 per drink in the US.
The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive and even indulged my basic attempt at speaking high school Spanish. We had a great experience and returned again two nights later where, Javier, bartender extraordinaire, remembered us and welcomed us like old friends. I asked him on this night to make a drink of his choice and gave him a few flavors I enjoy and he created a delicious, but seemingly dangerous drink called "Last Words." Although, it definitely was my last drink of the night, I did survive to write these praiseworthy words.
I wish there was a spot like this near me, because I would be there often. God Save Bobby Gin!

在享用了一顿美味的晚餐后,我们漫步到 Bobby Gin,按照典型的美国方式,我们几乎是第一批到达那里的人(当时大约是晚上 10 点......西班牙人似乎才开始吃晚饭,哈哈)。这给了我们一个很好的机会四处看看并与调酒师聊天。这是一家可爱的酒吧式场所,有 80 多种杜松子酒。说实话,他们在 10:30 左右就坐满了。我们坐在酒吧里享用了 Nordes Ginfonk 和 Basil Smash。平均每杯 11-13 欧元,考虑到我们在美国每杯要支付 20-25 美元,这个价格真是太棒了。
工作人员很友好、知识渊博、细心,甚至纵容了我尝试说高中西班牙语。我们度过了一段美好的时光,两天后我们又回到了这里,出色的调酒师 Javier 还记得我们,像老朋友一样欢迎我们。那天晚上,我请他调制一杯他喜欢的酒,给了他一些我喜欢的口味,他调制了一种美味但看似危险的酒,叫做“遗言”。虽然这绝对是我当晚喝的最后一杯酒,但我确实活了下来,写下了这些值得称赞的话。
我希望我附近有这样的地方,因为我会经常去那里。上帝保佑 Bobby Gin!
