The view that justifies the climb
B Heaven sits on a rooftop in the Albaicín, Granada's old Moorish quarter, and the panorama from up here is the reason people come. To the south, the Alhambra palace complex fills the skyline. Behind it, when the air is clear, the Sierra Nevada shows its peaks. At dusk, both turn amber, then rust, then disappear into the dark as the floodlights come on. You can stand there with a gin-tonic and feel the whole city beneath you.
This is a bar that earns its price point. Cocktails run €10–15, which is steep by Granada standards, but few places in the city can match the view from here. The trade is transparent: you are paying for the terrace and the view.
Cocktails and what to drink
The drinks list leans into craft gin-tonics, which suits the setting. The bar stocks a range of gins and pairs them with botanicals rather than just pouring tonic. Ask the bartender what they have open before ordering — they usually have something worth trying that is not on the printed card.
The cocktail menu changes with the season. In warmer months, cold preparations with citrus and fresh herbs dominate. The house gin-tonic uses a local gin and is a reasonable entry point if you are not sure where to start. Skip the wine — this is not the place for it. The cocktails are the point.
Service is calm and unhurried on weeknights. Weekends move faster, and the bar can feel crowded when it fills up, but the staff handle the volume without rushing you.
When to go
Sunset is the obvious answer, and everyone knows it, which means the terrace is at its most crowded between 20:00 and 21:30 in summer. Arriving by 19:30 gives you a decent chance at a table near the railing rather than a spot in the middle of the terrace.
Out of season (October through March), the view is just as good and the crowds thin out considerably. Bring a layer; the Albaicín sits high and the evenings get cold faster than the streets below suggest. The bar closes earlier in winter and may not open on slow weeknights, so check before making the climb.
Midday is underrated. The light on the Alhambra is different at noon, harder and more exposed than at dusk, but the terrace is empty and you can stay as long as you like. The cocktails taste the same either way.
Getting there
The bar is in the upper Albaicín. The streets are steep and narrow, and most of them are pedestrian-only. Taxis cannot reach the door — you will walk the last five to ten minutes regardless of where you are dropped. From the Plaza Nueva, allow about 15 minutes on foot uphill. Wear shoes you can walk in.
There is no parking nearby. The Albaicín has had a restricted vehicle zone for years, and the streets directly around the bar are too narrow for cars. Come on foot or take a taxi to the nearest point it can reach.
