Salmon Guru on Calle de Echegaray in Las Letras is Argentine bartender Diego Cabrera's 2017 cocktail bar, ranked No. 37 on the 2025 World's 50 Best Bars list with a comic-book-themed neon room.
TipWalk-ins only, no reservations; queues outside from 21:00 on weekends. The Pantera Jackson milk punch and La Mano de Dios cocktails are the headline pours.
1862 Dry Bar on Calle del Pez in Malasana is the speakeasy-style cocktail room named for the year Jerry Thomas published the first cocktail book, with a backlit basement liquor cage and a focused craft list.
TipOpen daily from 16:00 with a 15:00 weekend open; the basement is the seat to ask for. The Cantaloupe Gibson with pisco and manzanilla is the house signature.
Sala Equis on Calle del Duque de Alba in La Latina is the converted 1986 to 2015 X-cinema, now a high-ceilinged cocktail-and-screening bar with bleachers, hammocks and a 55-seat cinema hall running original-version films.
TipBar open daily from 12:00; cinema entry 6.50 euros for the original-version screening. The Plaza section is the main hall, the Ambigu is the quiet talk space.
Angelita on Calle de la Reina in Chueca is a two-floor bar by brothers David and Mario Villalon, with a street-level wine bar and a basement cocktail lounge programming classic and seasonal cocktails.
TipOpen Mon to Fri 17:30-02:00 plus to 02:30 Friday; closed weekends. The basement is the cocktail-list room, the ground floor is wine-led.
Macera Taller Bar on Calle de San Mateo opened in 2015 as the Malasana craft-cocktail room built on house-macerated spirits, with everything from pineapple rum to wasabi vodka infused in-house.
TipOpen every day from 18:00 with a 17:00 weekend open; closing 03:30 Friday and Saturday. The macerated-spirit flights are the way to taste the programme.
Museo Chicote on Gran Via since 1931 is Spain's first cocktail bar, founded by barman Perico Chicote with Art Deco decor by Luis Gutierrez Soto, drawing Hemingway, Sinatra, Ava Gardner and Sofia Loren over the decades.
TipThe original 1931 Art Deco room is the photo seat; the cocktail list keeps the canon classics. Open from 16:00 most nights, late close at the weekend.
Bar Cock on Calle de la Reina behind Museo Chicote has run since 1921 in a wood-and-leather English-club room, the Almodovar-era movida late-night hangout that survived the Civil War and still serves classic cocktails.
TipOpen from 16:00 daily, 19:00 on Saturday; close at 03:30 weekends. The fireplace-connected legend with Museo Chicote next door is part of the lore.
