Primeira classificação Vida Nocturna em Madrid

Este é um lugar onde a gente não precisa hesitar sobre o que eles vão beber. Não há escolha. O bar serve apenas cerveja, e é de boa qualidade. Você está num lugar bastante amplo com mesas de madeira num lado e um gigantesco bar de zinco do outro onde pode sentar-se em paz para desfrutar as deliciosas tapas. Experimente o saboroso berberechos (berbigão), camarão, atum, ou anchovas com tomate. O serviço é rápido e amigável, e há sempre uma boa atmosfera entre o público que vem para o almoçar e jantar.

Alipio Ramos is a blue-collar, no-nonsense tapas bar, one of those hidden gems where you can still get a free tapa with every cerveza you buy. Highlights of their extensive and very inexpensive tapas menu include croquettas, giant tortilla, patatas bravas, and chopitos (deep-fried squid). Try a tinto de verano as a light, fruity alternative to a cerveza, and you’ll be impressed with the gigantic glass they’ll bring over. No need to dress up for Alipio Ramos, as the environment is very casual. Crowds gather after the work day, so be prepared to eat, drink and be merry while standing and shouting out your orders. That said, a dining area is available inside if you insist on being seated. -Veronica Lo

El Tigre is one of the most turbulent and noisy tapas bars in all of Madrid, it is especially popular with students and young folk that attend the nearby Erasmus school. Open late, visitors can find all types of tapas and pinchos along with the typical sangria and beer. El Tigre is almost always busy, and as such it can be hard sometimes to fit in the door, however there will always be someone to meet, since you can hardly find room for yourself. It is also a great place if you want to stretch the Euro, because you can always fill up for a great price.

Tucked away in a quiet corner of the Centro district, Cafe de la Luz is the ideal place to stop for a cold beer and snack after a busy afternoon of sightseeing in downtown Madrid. The cozy interior is reminiscent of a country cottage, with comfy sofas, armchairs, soft lamps and knobby teapots. You'll find a great election of tostas (little toasts with a variety of toppings), the perfect accompaniment to one of their many house wines. -Veronica Lo
