You can find a little oasis of peace here for a coffee in their pretty salon in the early evening. But after midnight you won't find any peace at all as the place goes wild, especially the waiters who are just great fun, party people who keep everyone amused. The bar is covered with photographs of jazz singers and the rest of the walls are covered with bric-a-brac like an old junk shop. It's a constant surprise as to what you can spot on the walls. Spirits with a mixer cost 600 ptas.
It only closes for six hours a day. The rest of the time you can take advantage of the ideal location, in the Plaza Mayor, a well-preserved and world-renowned gem of medieval architecture.

They serve an enormous variety of tapas, raciones, platos combinados, and they don't mind if you ask for half portions.
The theme of this pub is the famous nautical character - Captain Haddock - from the Tintin comics. The lamps on the bar are always turned to "low", creating an atmosphere of shadows in which you can just make out the memorabilia on the walls and elsewhere that tell the story of his seafaring days. The pub is right in the heart of the nightlife district and after the quiet afternoon period the atmosphere really hots up at night. Spirits with a mixer cost between 600-700 ptas.
