Background

About Ciriaco Brown

The Story

Ciriaco Brown calls itself a licorería castiza, a traditional Madrid liquor bar, and it sits on Calle de los Abades in Lavapiés, opening four nights a week.

The Cuisine

Drinks first: cocktails and copas are the standout, with the carta published on the bar's own site. It opens Thursday to Sunday and runs long past most Madrid kitchens, which makes it a second stop rather than a first.

Ciriaco Brown Dining Experience

Cosy at the start of the night and club-like later, with cocktails as the reason to be here and hours built for a late night rather than an early one. It works for a group.
