There is a place in Barcelona for those who want to reconnect with their naturalist essence, located at 147 Borrell Street, right between Gran Via and Diputació: Káktos Botanical Society.
This is a new cocktail bar where diners can enjoy classic drinks and the best of the best. signature cocktails with “plant-based liquids”, which can be used to transport them to various places on the planet, such as the Amazon rainforests, the lavender fields of France or Hitsujiyama Park in Japan, among others.
It is worth mentioning that this is a minimalist-looking space that also functions as a hotel for plants. Customers can leave theirs there when they go on vacation and no one can take care of them. But you can also taste cocktails with liquors that have been infused with vertical sprout cultures.
Káktos Botanical Society for nature lovers
Those who want to visit this botanical cocktail bar only have to meet one requirement: share a passion for nature. For this reason, Marcos Fernandez, who is the manager and manager of the site’s event space and gastronomy coordinator, commented that what they are looking for is:
“Trying to bring botany closer to the urban lifestyle with a festive and leisure character.”

Meanwhile, musical artist Ander Villarejo, will accompany the event with immersive melodies, all through the waves and vibrations of plants.
