Fábrica Excepcional
Fábrica Excepcional, which opened in 2012 as Fábrica Maravillas, is a craft-beer brewpub on Calle Valverde in Malasaña that brews its own beer on site. The small bar up front pours what the brewery behind it makes, IPA and a Malasaña APA among them, and there are tapas to go with it, from olives and nuts to cured meats, mussels and oysters. It's open Tuesday to Saturday.

Fábrica Excepcional Dining Experience
A working brewery you can drink in, with a small bar at the entrance and the brewing kit just behind it; the point is tasting beer made a few steps from where you're standing.

Nearby
Malasaña is where the city keeps its energy, a tight web of streets that turns over fast and stays up late. The eating is young and restless, with vegan kitchens, coffee bars and creative rooms wedged between places that have not changed in decades. It runs down to Gran Vía, and it rewards walking without a plan.
