Café Madrid, which also trades as New Café Madrid, is a cocktail bar on Calle Mesón de Paños, between Plaza Mayor and Ópera, open since 1993. Signature cocktails are the draw, with a small picoteo menu and homemade cakes, and the house runs it as a cultural space too: live music, recitals, film and cocktail workshops, and private events. It's open Wednesday to Sunday evenings, late from Thursday.

Nearby
