Insider Intel

Order This

Fino or manzanilla from the cask. That's it. Maybe some olives or almonds. The simplicity is the point.

Best Time

Afternoon or early evening for the timeless atmosphere. No photos allowed - respect the tradition.

Know Before You Go

Unchanged since the Spanish Civil War - sawdust floors, dusty casks, no photos permitted. A shrine to sherry. The bartenders chalk your tab on the bar. Essential old Madrid.
