Cervecería Alemania

Frommer's Review

Just round the corner from Casa Alberto directly on one of the liveliest little plazas in Madrid, this place earned its name because of its long-ago German clients. (It was also a great Hemingway favorite.) Though the bar clings to its turn-of-the-20th-century traditions, young Madrileños are fond of stopping in for a mug of draft beer. You can relax in the atmospheric old lounge or -- depending on the weather -- sit at one of the outside tables leisurely sipping your chosen tipple, as the waiters make no attempt to hurry you along. If you're feeling peckish, try the fried sardines or a Spanish omelet. Many of the tascas on this popular square are crowded and noisy -- often with blaring loud music -- but this one is quiet and a good place to have a conversation.
