	Tapas: Santa Sangria Tip Rating:

Updated By Lorro on January 28, 2006

Espana Cani

by Lorro

To begin your night, If you want to go to a well known Madrid bar that foreigners AND Spanish people go, try Espana Cani. (The name means something like the worst of Spain, haha) They serve cheap sangria by the picher and if you go really early they have tapas. I?ve heard they have a good Salmorejo. The music is sort of Spanish pop. Its in Huertas so there are lots of other bars around to continue to afterwards. Its small and can get crowded but its a good place to meet people. And the feeling is very Spanish.

No dress code, but people who go out in Huertas don't wear sneakers (unless they are foreign) because later you may want to get into some bars and clubs that don?t allow them.

	Tapas: El Parnasillo Tip Rating:

When you are in Spain you need to go to one of many locals. This one is very nice. This is a Guinness pub, but you can drink here too spanish beer. I like Mahu - this is very light beer. And you can eat there tapas or tortilla or another great specialite de la meson.
I like the mosaic walls in spanish locals. They are really beautiful.

I think this is not importand.

	Tapas: Tapas in the cuevas (caves) Tip Rating:

Dancing in the cuevas

by laura4n8

We wanted to go to a quaint place to eat some tapas and enjoy some music. Fortunately we meet an American girl who had lived in Madrid for a few years and was back for a visit. She showed us a quiet little spot just off the Plaza Mayor. The tapa bars were in caves (called "cuevas") under the buildings. We walked in a random one (because I liked the door) and found ourselves to be nearly the only patrons. Soon a table of Spaniards walked in and a musician. My friend told the musician that I loved to dance and he solicited some of the few men in the place to give me a whirl. An older man pulled me to the floor and soon my table of four girls were dancing on the floor with the local patrons. What an experience! Later, our server told me that we were the first tourists he had seen in years. Interesting!

A lively place

by SirRichard

Casa Antonio is one of those typical old taverns of Madrid, where you can have some wines/beers and some "tapas" too.
In front of the entrance you can see a sign saying "No Coke or Soft Drinks served"...
Founded in 1880.

Tapas Hopping with VT friends

by HORSCHECK

One of the best things to do in Madrid and all around Spain is Tapas Hopping. Just stroll from bar to bar and enjoy some of the local tapas specialities with a drink. I was lucky enough to meet some local VT friends who showed me around. So we were at various places like: Riazor, Casa Antonio, El Cuchi, Las Bravas, El Abuelo and we ended up at Cafe del Teatro Espanol.

Located in Old Madrid below Plaza Mayor, Casa Antonio had a very cozy feel. The place was full of tables packed closely together with people socializing and having a great time. We spent about an hour here getting to know each other a little better.

	Tapas: A glimpse of Mexico in Malasaña Tip Rating:

Updated By agarcia on March 3, 2003

Scary Catrina :-p

by agarcia

This Mexican bar has become lately in one of my favorite in Malasaña neighborhood (the trendiest quarter in Madrid). It always amazes the number and diversity of people that can join together in this small, charming and always packed bar. The selection of Mexican beers is excellent, as well as the music (Latin rhythms), but the attribute that gives this place its unique identity is the colorful decoration; and incredible tribute to the Mexican Santeria (candles, Virgins, altars)...

Summarizing: A bar with strong personality. Exactly my type of bar. ;-)

Completely open. Just dress as you are.

La Rua is another tapas bar in Plaza Mayor that is known for their bocata de calamares (fried squid sandwiches). We enjoyed the calamares and some more beers.
