Background

About Fat Cats Cocktail House

The Story

Fat Cats describes itself as a 1970s-inspired speakeasy, a 'coctelería clandestina' on Calle del Infante in Cortes, between the Congreso de los Diputados and the Thyssen. Its menu spins a story around Salerno and Latella, the 'Fat Cats burglars' of the 1970s, and the Dinner Set Gang who knew the homes of Manhattan's rich better than their butlers: the lounge is styled on the kind of homes they targeted, and each cocktail is written in that spirit.

The Cuisine

A bar rather than a kitchen: signature cocktails are the draw, with a build-your-own martini and a small-bites menu (a PDF on the venue's own site), and popcorn on the table with the drinks.

Fat Cats Cocktail House Dining Experience

Elegant and classic in how it's dressed, lively in how it actually feels, with a curated playlist running underneath rather than a DJ. Service is warm. Cocktails are the thing, and the room handles groups.

Getting There

Calle del Infante 5, in Cortes, the stretch between the parliament and the museums.

Nearby

Cortes sits between the parliament and the museums, so the pavements carry politicians, visitors and locals in roughly equal measure. The eating covers everything from cocktail rooms to serious kitchens, often behind doors that give nothing away. Congreso de los Diputados and Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza bookend it.
