The room leans into a lush, botanical, African-inspired look, and the bar keeps its drinks list focused rather than sprawling. It's an intimate, tucked-away spot in the middle of the city.

Get directions→Getting There
On Calle Santo Tomé, 8, in the Justicia area of Madrid's central Centro district.
Nearby
Justicia is the quieter, better-dressed half of the Chueca side of town, all narrow streets and small shopfronts. Mercado de San Antón anchors the eating, and around it sit grill rooms, wine bars and places that fill late. It is central without ever feeling like the centre.
