El Coleccionista
El Coleccionista
El Coleccionista is a gastronomic cocktail bar from Grupo Dani García, on the Paseo de la Castellana in Madrid's Salamanca district. The pitch is drinks as art: a deep bench of modern bartending technique behind a rotating collection of cocktails, backed by a short menu of the group's signature snacks. It opens evenings, Tuesday to Saturday.
Background
About El Coleccionista
The Story
El Coleccionista is one of Grupo Dani García's Madrid rooms, on the Paseo de la Castellana. It bills itself as a coctelería gastronómica where, in its own words, technology and research sit alongside creativity, and the drinks are meant to be collected like art.
The Cuisine
The draw is the cocktails: a list arranged into 'collections', with drinks named for artists like Robert Capa, Damien Hirst and Alexander Calder, built on a wide range of modern technique. To eat, there's a short snacks menu of Grupo Dani García signatures, from oysters and tuna-toro tartare to the BiBo guacamole and a Bull burger.

El Coleccionista Dining Experience
It's a bar that treats cocktails as the main event, styled around the idea of collecting: the menu groups drinks into 'collections', some named after artists, and the room leans into an art-and-objects concept with a tucked-away, speakeasy feel.
