Directions

A beloved Malasaña institution that survived the movida era and still draws a loyal, eclectic crowd of students, artists, and long-time locals. The interior is wonderfully worn-in — mirrors, old posters, board games on the shelves — and the prices are refreshingly low. It is more of a bar-café hybrid, so expect noise and energy rather than a quiet retreat.
