Museo Chicote holds the honor of being the first cocktail bar to open in Spain. Frequented by celebrities such as Hemingway and Sinatra, it's a legendary spot that has stood the test of time. As you savour a refreshing drink, take a leisurely stroll around the bar and spot how many famous faces you can recognize from the pictures adorning the walls. Don't forget to catch a live music performance while indulging in their cocktails and bar snacks.
Bars & Nightlife
Because the clever Spaniards think you should always eat when drinking, most bars also serve food — usually tapas. And despite the efforts of the authorities, Madrid's nightlife still happens later than in most other cities and goes on for longer as well. For the real party animals, the neighbourhoods of Malasaña and La Latina are a mandatory stop at night.
