And remember, if you know of others, leave it in the comments, others will thank you!
El Tigre Sidra Bar
El tigre Sidra Bar is a busy tapas and Raciones tavern.
Raciones and Spanish dishes in a bustling tavern known for the size of the tapas that accompany the drink.
Good prices and good quality tapas.
The caña costs 3 euros and the jarra 5 euros but the tapas (very plentiful) come free with the drink.
Lots of variety in the tapas (homemade croquettes, lacón, cheese, paella, patatas bravas, etc...).
Docamar
Patatas Bravas in Local de toda la vida, one of Madrid's classics.
A cheerful tavern from 1963 with a terrace, decorated with slate murals and popular for its famous patatas bravas.
The name of the bar originates from Donato Cabrera Martínez, who put the first three syllables together to create the name DoCaMar.
Its star tapa is the Patatas Bravas del Docamar, famous all over Madrid, but its homemade croquettes, tigers, calamari or the Docaburguer itself have nothing to envy.
The place is always packed with people so we recommend going early in the morning to get a seat and try what they say are some of the best patatas bravas in Spain.
You can buy their Famous Sauce bottled to take home.
Casa Labra
A century-old tavern with Castilian cuisine: tapas, meats and classic cod recipes in a place with a long tradition.
Their star tapas are the cod croquettes and tuna tacos in a 19th century tavern.
They prepare their own homemade vermouth, which is very famous.
As in all these bars, it tends to be very busy and either you go with a lot of patience or just when they open, which is usually quieter, or you have the option of ordering to take away.
Bodega de la Ardosa
El Ardosa is the typical Castizo and traditional Madrilenian bar, a classic among classics with a century and a half of life.
Pinchos, imported beers and vermouth on tap in a tavern dating back to 1892 with barrels and wrought iron columns.
At La Ardosa you will find a potato omelette that is among the best in all of Madrid.
In addition to trying the potato omelette skewer (which is a must), the cabrales croquettes, artichokes, cheesecake, etc... also stand out.
The place is small but the waiters are quick, and you can also order to take away.

La Tita Rivera
La tita Rivera is a very nice and cosy place decorated like an old brewery with a big terrace outside and a beautiful patio inside.
Our recommendation is to try the Nachos and the fingers.

Las Bravas
Bar Las Bravas is another of Madrid's classic bars, open since 1933 and boasts of being the inventor of the patatas bravas.
In the early 50s they began to prepare a spicy sauce to accompany the potatoes, since then the sauce is made daily without additives and with top quality products.
Their star tapa is potatoes with a patented salsa brava and you can also enjoy other Spanish dishes such as tortilla de patatas, croquettes, calamares, etc... and all can be accompanied by their secret sauce in a neighbourhood restaurant with distorting mirrors.
Inclán Brutal Bar
The Inclán Brutal Bar is defined by the second word of its name:
BRUTAL
When you enter this bar you are entering a Brutal world which they achieve with a unique experience both through the delicious food, the original presentation, the cocktails and a very nice and friendly service!
It is a very cosy place with a very peculiar decoration, as well as for its presentation the tapas and cocktails stand out for their flavour and their Fusion cuisine.
If you try it you will repeat.
Pez Tortilla
As its name suggests, this bar specialises in tortillas of all kinds and also gourmet croquettes and offers more than 70 craft beers.
Just take a look at their menu of varieties of tortillas and croquettes to see what we're talking about:
And as the saying goes:
There are two types of people, those who like their tortilla de patata slightly curdled and those who have no fucking idea about life. - A tortillero
So now you know, if you are a lover of good omelette and homemade croquettes, there is no better place in Madrid to enjoy them with a good craft beer.
Rosi la loca
In the Bar Rosi la loca you will find a very pleasant place that invites you to be cheerful.
It is a bar decorated in a very colourful Tropical atmosphere where flowers and the colour Pink predominate.
The food is very well presented but above all the dishes are very good, scrambled eggs, octopus, tuna tataki, croquettes and to drink you have to try the cava sangria.
And if what you want to eat is a good traditional Spanish Paella, this is one of the best in Madrid.
Mediterranean tapas bar and cocktails in a space decorated with a Tiki theme.

El Viajero
El Viajero is located in a 19th century mansion and has three floors, at the bottom is the bar or as they call it (El Mercado) where we will have our tapas, in the middle or first floor we have the restaurant (the Lobby) perfect for lunch and on the top floor is the roof terrace where they have a garden with one of the best views of Old Madrid, perfect place to have a cocktail in the evening.
We recommend trying the hummus and the potato omelette (served in a frying pan), and if you want to go for dessert, the cheesecake is very tasty.
If you want to eat there, book a table in advance, and remember that the prices are NOT popular!
El Viajero is fusion cuisine, tapas and drinks in a 19th century palace with eclectic furniture and a roof terrace overlooking Madrid.
Los Torreznos bar goya cervecería
Los Torreznos is a traditional bar in Madrid that specialises in Spanish pork rashers and appetizers in a 1956 restaurant with a stainless steel bar.
