Frommer's Review

On one of the traditional tasca streets in Old Madrid, this tavern has a distinct personality. It is dedicated to the art of serving Spain's finest sherry -- and that's it. Don't come in here asking for an extra dry martini. My favorite remains Manzanilla, a delicate fino with just a little chill on it. If Luis Buñuel were to need extras in a film, surely the patrons here would be ideal. To go with all that sherry, the genially informal waiters serve tapas of garlicky marinated olives, jamon serrano (mountain ham), mojama (cured tuna) or blue-cheese canapés. Ancient barrels form the decor, along with antique posters long turned tobacco-gold from cigarette smoke. Open daily from 7pm to 1:30am.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
