Modernista is a stylish hutong bar with a Barcelona-inspired aesthetic, serving well-executed cocktails, Spanish wines, and a thoughtful selection of spirits in a beautifully tiled interior. It attracts a sophisticated local crowd and is one of the more design-conscious bars in the Gulou area. The gin and tonic programme is particularly strong, and the bar team takes their craft seriously.
