Santamate

Madrid's dedicated agave bar — serious mezcal credentials, genuine Mexican-inspired cocktails, perfect for agave education or agave-forward drinking. Take mezcal flights to explore the category, or Mexican-inspired cocktails with agave spirits; ask about the espadín-versus-tobalá differences. Come late at night when the Latin beats pick up; the dim lighting and exposed brick suit evening drinking. It is the city's agave specialist — a bar with real mezcal credentials where the Mexican-inspired cocktails are genuine and the flights teach as much as they please. For serious mezcal and agave-forward drinking in Madrid, whether to learn or simply to indulge, it's the dedicated destination, and the late-night energy suits the spirits.
