Manu Chao's bar, in the backstreets of the lower Gothic — a small, loud, sticker-and-mural room where the mojitos are honest, the speakers carry rumba and clandestino spirit, and the crowd is the neighbourhood's beautiful mixed remainder. No list, no concept: a dive in the true and affectionate sense, kept alive by the musician whose songs it plays.

Order This
A mojito — the house habit — or a cold Estrella, standing wherever there is room.
Best Time
Late, when the backstreets empty and the room fills; earlier for a quieter drink.
