The world's best bars for 2020 have been revealed

BARCELONA, Spain: Customers enjoy the special food on offer at the Bodega Quimet and Quimet in the Poble Sec area of Barcelona, 20 December 2005. Quimet & Quimet turns out to be quite a special place, and far from a 'normal' tapas bar. Well over 90 percent of the products they serve come out of a can or a jar. Most people might not be enticed, but these are products from around the world found by many generations of men named "Quim" (the bar opened in 1914). Baby marinated artichokes, for example, still have crunch and anchovies are plump and delicious, not limp and salty.
