El Barón is in an old house on the Plaza de San Pedro Claver, with tables on the plaza facing the church. Inside there's a long bar with shelves of bottles up to the ceiling.
Its strength is classic cocktails, the ones every bar is built on, plus a seasonal menu of signature drinks. They also have food to go with them.
In 2025 it made the extended list of The World's 50 Best Bars (number 351). It's a good spot for the first drink of the night before dinner.
