El Môderne
Bar&Champagne
Ground floor, at street level. It's raining outside, 'orballa', as they say here.
The Cantabrian has given us yet another afternoon of fine rain, that rain that falls silently and soaks slowly, making our mountain glisten evergreen. Among the bars in Gijón, El Môderne Bar & Champagne is the perfect place for those long breakfasts or chatty afternoons, with groups deep in conversation around a café. It invites you to come in, it’s got its own personality, it transforms, changes, but it always receives and accepts. A refuge in the heart of the city, a key spot at our boutique hotel.
At one table a group of friends laugh and have a catch up, while another man flicks through a newspaper while enjoying a beer.
A couple discusses a project that is underway and the girl sat on the sofa at the back has finally found a moment of peace to finish the book she’d put to one side. Chatting to a stranger sat next to you on the huge central table and discovering the love of your life, or a new best friend. Or perhaps just smile and continuing enjoying breakfast. Each and every corner is a new opportunity, a new adventure, a life to be lived. Everything is possible at the cocktail bar at El Môderne hotel in Gijón.
