The Most Exclusive Bars in Madrid Recommended by Gran Hotel Inglés
Imagine yourself having a glass of your favourite drink, surrounded by the best company and enjoying a luxurious atmosphere, an exclusive setting or a beautiful panoramic view of the Madrid skyline. It sounds like a delight, an unrepeatable experience, a well-deserved holiday break... You can find all that and much more in the selection of places to have a drink in Madrid that we have compiled in this guide.
At the Gran Hotel Inglés 5 Estrellas de Madrid we value the importance of enjoying a delicious and refreshing drink after a day of sightseeing. We also know that the setting is as important as the quality and flavour of the delicious cocktail we are enjoying, something that we certainly bring to our Lobo 8 restaurant and LobByto lobby bar.
In this article we recommend some of the best places to have a drink in Madrid so you can enjoy your next drink in the capital.
LobByto (Echegaray, 8)
If we are talking about the best places to have a drink in Madrid, we can't fail to recommend LobByto, our lobby bar in the heart of the city centre, which will win you over with all five senses.
You will be delighted with its large windows and modernist decoration that will take you back in time. Located in the heart of the Barrio de las Letras, in LobByto you can enjoy a delicious culinary offer and cocktails that will not leave you indifferent.
We encourage you to visit us and let yourself be conquered by a dry Martini like the ones of yesteryear, a gin and tonic with the perfect recipe or an "English", our signature cocktail.
Tartan Roof (Marqués de Casa Riera, 2)
The rooftop of the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid has one of the best rooftops in Madrid. From the Azotea del Círculo you will have a perfect panoramic view of the pure centre of the capital.
You'll be able to walk along the Gran Vía with your eyes, which is even better than walking along it, and capture stunning photographs of some of Madrid's most famous landmarks such as the Metrópolis building and gaze out over Madrid's rooftops with Plaza de Cibeles in the background.
On the roof terrace of the Círculo de Bellas Artes you will find two different proposals, on the one hand you can enjoy the loungers of its chill out corner and on the other hand the impressive gastronomic offer of its restaurant, Tartan Roof.
Macera TallerBar (San Mateo, 21)
Macera TallerBar is an exclusive retro-industrial venue in the heart of Malasaña. It stands out from the wide range of establishments in this famous area of Madrid for the delicious distillates they make themselves.
At Macera TallerBar you can enjoy a unique and relaxed atmosphere and choose from a wide range of drinks. Special mention should be made of their signature gins distilled with special touches such as red fruits, ginger and cinnamon. Their gin and tonics are impressive.
El Viajero (Plaza de la Cebada, 11)
El Viajero is one of the most famous bars in La Latina. It has three floors with different proposals: the downstairs area is designed to enjoy a beer and some snacks, its central part is a large room with comfortable sofas that becomes a dance area as the night goes on, and its rooftop is perfect for enjoying a delicious glass of wine, a beer or cocktails with good views.
Its famous mojitos deserve a special mention, ideal for cooling off in the summer months, and the stunning views of La Latina and the Royal Basilica of San Francisco el Grande in the background can be enjoyed from its rooftop terrace.
The Passenger (Pez, 16)
The Passenger is a place that will transport you, almost literally, to another era. This peculiar establishment in the heart of Malasaña recreates the atmosphere of the old passenger trains of yesteryear, and even has screens that imitate the shape of windows through which you can "observe" the landscape.
In the morning you will find an atmosphere dominated by Jazz and Soul where you can enjoy a good cup of coffee and delicious food made with fresh products. In the evenings you'll be greeted by rock from the 70s to the present day and hip hop and house from the 90s, a perfect atmosphere to enjoy a small but select beer menu and a quality drinks menu.
Ella Sky Bar (Gran Vía, 42)
Ella Sky Bar is located in the heart of Gran Vía and offers an incredible gastronomic offer with views to match. From this rooftop you can see an impressive panoramic view that stretches from the Cuatro Torres to the north to the Royal Palace, including other famous landmarks of the capital such as the neon of Callao or the Capitol building.
At Ella Sky Bar you will find an interesting gastronomic proposal that combines traditional dishes with international options, balanced with a varied selection of snacks to suit all tastes.
