12 cocktail bar places in Madrid we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Madrid | Cocktail Bar across every city.
Madrid drinks late, and its cocktail scene splits between veteran American bars and a sharper modern crowd. Museo Chicote on the Gran Via and Del Diego in Chueca are the classics, while Salmon Guru in the Barrio de las Letras leads the contemporary wave. Malasana carries much of the energy, with 1862 Dry Bar and Macera Taller Bar, and rooftops such as the Azotea del Circulo de Bellas Artes give the city its summer terrace drinking.
