Dow Jones






In Barcelona we went to the coolest bar ever called the Dow Jones. Naturally, the bar was set up with the theme of the Wall Street stock market. Upon walking into the bar you see little plasma televisions equally spaced all around the bar area. On every other screen there was a soccer game playing and on the others there was an extensive list of wild drinks with a list of prices next to them. The prices were listed in green, red and blue. If the price was in green that meant that someone had just brought the drink and the price was about to go up. Once one drink goes up it causes another drink to go down so those drinks were listed in red. This game can become extremely fun with the more people that are at the bar.  As you can imagine it can also be really frustrating as your trying to push your way to the front of the bar to get your favorite drink that was recently lowered but by the time you get to the bar and get the bartenders attention the drink you were going to order skyrockets 4 dollars. Overall everyone in our group had an amazing time at the Dow Jones, many people got to experiment with their taste-buds and others like me were finally able to indulge in our most favorite American mixed drinks (such as the Bloody Mary, which was made to perfection).
