Bar Sport-Pub
The same owners of “La Cervecería Deportiva”. They share the same soccer atmosphere and the quality and quantity of the tapas. The beer is a bit pricey.
Bar Mareas Vivas
A classic bar in the center of Madrid that is sometimes overshadowed by the other popular bars in the area. The cañas are cheap, the tapas are plentiful and the atmosphere is young. Two drawbacks: the quality of the tapas is average and it’s busy during “caña hour” (from 1:30 to 3 p.m.).
Bar El Labriego
Modern bar with a Galician-Portuguese kitchen, a young atmosphere and quality raciones (large portion tapas that you pay for). The tapas are reasonable, and they have a beer tap at every table so that you can pour your own cañas (not recommended since they will not serve you as many tapas).
Bar Ovni
A decent quantity of tapas with your caña. Also, the caña is sizable and we had great service. Terrific atmosphere in general.
Bar Los Amigos (Centro)
They have two bars across the street from each other, so you can usually find room. Average tapas, tables for sitting, and spacious. Not to be confused with the one in Ciudad Lineal.
Cervecería Deportiva
Perfect for watching soccer. The owner was a journalist in Argentina and he has photos, jerseys and all kinds of souvenirs around the bar. Surprising that in a bar like this, similiar to an Irish pub, they serve good tapas.
Bar Casa Parrondo
It’s almost a must to go when you are in the neighborhood. A classic sidrería (bar that serves cider from the North of Spain) of Madrid, serving abundant tapas with decent service.
Bar El Ñeru
They have high quality food. The atmosphere is good, but too crowded at peak hours. They let you choose your tapa, but from few options.
