So, you\u2019ve booked your flight, your suitcase is packed and you’ve been brushing up on your GCSE Spanish so that \u2018dos<\/em> cervezas<\/em> por<\/em> favor\u2019<\/em> now rolls off the tongue. Looks like you’re all set to party with the\u00a0Madrile\u00f1os! But wait, with more bars in Madrid per square mile than any other European capital, where do you even begin?!<\/p>\n

Fret not; we\u2019ve done the hard work for you.\u00a0From jaw-dropping rooftop bars to charming and cheap bodegas, we’ve rounded up the best bars in Madrid to help you swerve the tourist traps like a pro. So all you have to do is try to keep up with the party-loving locals.<\/p>\n

1. El Palentino<\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

El Palentino is an institution amongst Madrid’s bars\u00a0?@ababolico<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Where to begin with the classic that is El Palentino<\/em><\/a>? It’s essentially a city landmark, almost as iconic as the Puerta de Alcala<\/em>, but with half the tourists and twice the booze! Yes it’s a dive bar, but it carries its own authentic Spanish charm and represents the community in which it’s cocooned.\u00a0There are no hipster trinkets or fancy cocktails here, just fluorescent strip lights, a buzzing atmosphere and a metal topped bar that\u2019s been there since time began.\u00a0Locals claim the prices here haven\u2019t changed since Spain joined the Euro, so to say that it\u2019s cheap would be a slight<\/em> understatement. To many people, El Palentino<\/em> is the best cheap bar in Madrid bar none.<\/p>\n

Address:\u00a0<\/b>Calle del Pez, 12, 28004, Madrid<\/p>\n

2. Macera TallerBar<\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

Head to Macera TallBar for G&Ts done right\u00a0?@pal_alt<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Everyone loves a Gin and Tonic, right? The best G&Ts nowadays are works of art, and there\u2019s nowhere better to appreciate one than at Macera,<\/em> where they even craft their own gin. All exposed brick and makeshift artwork, Macera<\/em> has rapidly become a firm favourite in the barrio of Malasa\u00f1a. The show-stopping G&Ts here are served in a goblet-esque chalice and cost a very reasonable \u00a35. For that price, it would be rude not to!<\/p>\n

Address:\u00a0<\/b>Calle de San Mateo, 21, 28004, Madrid<\/p>\n

3. Mercado de San Fernando<\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

Make like the locals and swap your bar for a Mercado\u00a0?@felizamarra<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Madrile\u00f1os love a market, and\u00a0it’s easy to see why: the best ones offer a sociable place to eat, drink and be merry in one easy hit! The city has a whole host of markets, each with its own unique charm. If you\u2019re on the hunt for something slightly off the beaten track with a generous helping of local pizazz, Mercado de San Fernando<\/em> is the market for you. It\u2019s not gentrified, it\u2019s not glamorous and it\u2019s not glossy. What it is though, is bustling, authentic and real. Every Sunday, the folk of Madrid pour in to drink artisan beer at\u00a0La Buena Pinta<\/em>, or to answer the call of a crisp glass of Albari\u00f1o<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Address:\u00a0<\/b>Calle de Embajadores, 41, 28012, Madrid<\/p>\n

4. Caf\u00e9 de la Luz<\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

Is this the cosiest bar in Madrid? Yes. Yes, it is.\u00a0?@joserra<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Picture the cosiest, snuggest living room, and you’ve envisaged Caf\u00e9 de la Luz<\/em><\/a>! This wonderfully shabby-chic Madrid bar seems to have a permanent\u00a0Instagram filter glow. With a collection of well-worn sofas and cute little nooks, it’s the perfect place to bunker down with a large glass of Rioja<\/em> and a good book.\u00a0It doesn\u2019t hurt that the staff are some of the friendliest folk in the city, who will always try to squeeze you in and offer you a free snack if you have to wait for a spot. A hidden gem, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Madrid\u2019s main shopping district, Caf\u00e9 de la Luz<\/em> is the perfect place to warm up before painting the town red.<\/p>\n

Address:\u00a0<\/b>Calle de la Puebla, 8, 28004, Madrid<\/p>\n

5. 1862 Dry Bar<\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

Head to Dry Bar 1862 some of the best cocktails in Madrid\u00a0?@nolitat<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The best bars in Madrid tend to fall into one of two distinct camps: those with strip lighting and an ageing clientele, or the ones that serve drinks in jam jars. What makes Dry Bar 1862<\/em> so great is that it cannot be shoehorned into either camp.\u00a0A staggeringly chic cocktail bar that\u2019s perched on the always popular Calle Pez<\/em>, it may look discreet from the outside, but once inside you’ll be met by a prohibition-era inspired bar with some of the best drinks in Madrid. The affable owner, Alberto, is a fountain of knowledge on cocktails so you’re in very safe hands.<\/p>\n

Address:\u00a0<\/b>Calle del Pez, 27, 28004, Madrid<\/p>\n

6. Pez Tortilla<\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

Spanish Omelette + ice cold beer at Pez Tortilla\u00a0?@factoriadecerveza<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Spaniards are fiercely proud of their gastronomy, and rightly so. Madrid has more than its fair share of Michelin stars, but there’s an equally amazing foodie scene for backpackers on a budget.\u00a0One of the greatest pleasures to be had in life is devouring an oozy slab of tortilla de patata<\/em>, that\u2019s a Spanish Omelette to you and me, chased down with\u00a0an ice cold beer.\u00a0Sounds good? Then you need to head to Pez Tortilla<\/a> <\/em>where simplicity is key. Their range of tortillas changes weekly; we love the parmesan, basil and sundried tomato omelette. This is also one of the best bars in Madrid for craft beer fans, so understandably it’s a pretty popular spot; Try to get there early by Spanish standards, because by 8pm you’ll find yourself jostling for a space at the bar.<\/p>\n

Address:\u00a0<\/b>Calle Pez, 36, 28004, Madrid<\/p>\n

7. Casa Camacho<\/h2>\n

\"Best<\/p>\n

?@saragarcia<\/a><\/p>\n

Enjoying a cold glass of vermouth at midday is one of Madrid\u2019s most deeply rooted traditions, but this drink’s renewed popularity owes a lot to Casa Camacho<\/em><\/a>. Located smack bang in the heart of the Malasa\u00f1a neighbourhood, each month this dinky little bar serves up roughly 2,500 litres of vermouth. Ol\u00e9<\/em>! Often served with a potent mix of gin and soda, you’ll need to go easy on these delicious concoctions for the sake of your head the next day.<\/p>\n

Address:\u00a0<\/b>Calle de San Andr\u00e9s, 4, 28004, Madrid<\/p>\n

8. Toque de Sal<\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

Art Deco charm at one of the prettiest bars in Madrid\u00a0?@cristipinwi<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The renowned strip of bars on\u00a0Calle Ponzano<\/em> is trending right now. So much so that there’s even a verb to describe drinking here:\u00a0\u2018ponzaning\u2019. <\/em>This is prime bar crawl territory, with\u00a0some of the coolest bars in Madrid here. But if there’s one you absolutely must not miss, it’s\u00a0Toque de Sal<\/em><\/a>. Its glamorous Art Deco interior and intimate dining room tucked away at the back make it an ideal place to indulge in a pre-dinner drink, or two… or three.<\/p>\n

Address: <\/b>Calle de Ponzano, 46, 28003, Madrid<\/p>\n

9. Anticaf\u00e9<\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

A diamond in the rough close to Plaza Mayor\u00a0?@sunsh.l.ne<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Although Anticaf\u00e9<\/em><\/a> is in a touristy area, it’s a true diamond in the rough! Tucked away on a side street close to the Sol and Plaza Mayor, this little watering hole comes alive in the late afternoon and is always full to the brim with locals who\u2019ve made the pilgrimage from hipper neighbourhoods such as Malasa\u00f1a or Lavapi\u00e9s. It’s one of the best bars in Madrid if you want to get involved with the locals. Often hosting live DJs, Anticaf\u00e9<\/em> is a cheap and cheerful place to enjoy the occasional lock-in when the pull of a party is stronger than your bed. It\u2019s not difficult to while away hours here on a tenner.<\/p>\n

Address:\u00a0<\/b>Calle Uni\u00f3n, 2, 28013, Madrid<\/p>\n

10. C\u00edrculo de Bellas Artes<\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

This bar has the BEST views of Madrid\u00a0?@lisa_esc<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Put your hand up if you love a rooftop. Put your other hand up if you love a rooftop with jaw dropping views. If both your hands are up right now, then you need to visit\u00a0Circulo de Bellas Artes<\/a>. This is without a doubt the best rooftop bar in Madrid, and whilst it\u2019s not going to be the most purse-friendly glass of cava you\u2019ll ever enjoy, every sip is worth it for the stunning views across the city’s terracotta roofs. The vibe is reminiscent of an Ibiza beach bar, yet it\u2019s housed in one of the most historical buildings in Madrid.<\/p>\n

Address:<\/b> Calle de Alcal\u00e1, 42, 28014, Madrid<\/p>\n

11. Bodega de la Ardosa<\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

An Insta-worthy old-school Madrid bodega\u00a0?@palo_busta<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Another classic choice in the popular neighbourhood of Malasa\u00f1a. The bold red facade and old-school looks make\u00a0Bodega de la Ardosa<\/a>\u00a0the perfect place to indulge in some typical Spanish fiesta, and also brighten up your Instagram feed.\u00a0There’s cold beers, tapas galore and if you can bag yourself a window seat you can people-watch to your heart’s content. Head there early doors to avoid the crowds and enjoy a crisp vermouth before you head off for dinner; in this barrio you’ll be spoilt for food options.<\/p>\n

Address:<\/b>\u00a0Calle de Col\u00f3n, 13, 28004, Madrid<\/p>\n

12. La Via Lactea<\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

La Via Lactea is a veteran of the Madrid bar scene\u00a0?@alvarocobarro<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

This bar is\u00a0downright infamous within the city, largely due to it being at the epicentre of the Movida<\/em> Madrile\u00f1a<\/em> way back in the ’80s. The d\u00e9cor has managed to retain a certain faded charm, making La Via Lactea<\/em><\/a> nothing short of a Madrid institution. The regulars are a mixed bag thanks to the slightly alternative punk\/rock tunes and the presence of a large pool table where people tend to pose, rather than play. The drinks are nice and cheap if you steer clear of spirits, and on any given Saturday it\u2019ll be packed to the rafters with happy hipsters. Not one to be missed if you like a bit of eye candy with your tipple of choice!<\/p>\n

Address:\u00a0<\/b>Calle Velarde, 18, 28004, Madrid<\/p>\n

13. Verbena<\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

A round of drinks at the cosy Verbena bar won’t break the bank\u00a0?@javiergonz73<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

As you may have noticed, Madrid is choc-a-bloc full of cute looking bars. It’s enough to give anybody FOMO. However, should you find yourself strolling around the vintage shops that pepper Calle Velarde, you don’t want to miss the cosy and colourful\u00a0Verbena Bar<\/a>. It’s the ideal mid-shopping spot for a cheeky early-afternoon drink or tapas pitstop. And the best bit? A round of drinks here costs about as much as a sarnie back in Blighty.<\/p>\n

Address:\u00a0<\/b>Calle Velarde, 24, 28004 Madrid<\/p>\n

14. Arts Club Madrid<\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

Glam it up at the Arts Club Madrid\u00a0?@<\/a><\/em>nataliaherrero4<\/a><\/p>\n

If you want to push the boat out a little and go somewhere a little more stylish, then Arts Club Madrid<\/a>\u00a0is just the ticket. This stylish bar slash art gallery specialises in\u00a0high-octane glamour, and is a great place to party with the pretty peeps of Madrid. It’s the most expensive bar on this list, but if you skip the cocktails and go for wine or beer then it’ll cost you no more than a mediocre night out in London. So throw on your gladrags, and treat yo’self!<\/p>\n

Address:\u00a0<\/b>Calle de Vel\u00e1zquez, 96, 28006 Madrid<\/p>\n

15. La Playa de Lavapi\u00e9s<\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

Budget drinks in Madrid’s most multicultural neighbourhood\u00a0?@pericolo_peclobe<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a lover of Indian food, then a visit to\u00a0La Playa de Lavapi\u00e9s<\/a> is non-negotiable. Much like Brick Lane in London, Lavapi\u00e9s is frequently referred to as the most multicultural neighbourhood in Madrid and it\u2019s probably true. The varied tapestry of its residents is reflected in the diversity of its bars, and La Playa de Lavapi\u00e9s is one of the best. As packed and rowdy on a Sunday afternoon as it is on a Friday night, it captures the feeling that permeates the city, the unabashed love of a good time, regardless of whether you need to set that 7am alarm for the following day. Lavapi\u00e9s is still what estate agents call \u2018up and coming\u2019, so prices are pleasingly low.<\/p>\n

Address:<\/b> Calle de Argumosa, 9, 28012, Madrid<\/p>\n

16. The Hat Madrid<\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

When it comes to hostel bars, Madrid is\u00a0?\u00a0?@rafaelsfarias<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

*shameless plug alert* We all know hostel bars are usually one of the best places in any city for fun and cheap drinks, but Madrid takes this to another level. There are SO many incredible hostels in Madrid, many of which have awesome bars. We don’t have favourites, of course, but if we did it would be The Hat Madrid<\/a>, which features an insane roof terrace and cocktails in a bag. Enough said!<\/p>\n
