Bar Taurino

Frommer's Review

This bar remains the top gathering spot for bullfight aficionados. A multitiered place, it is still a shrine to the greatest matador of the 1950s, Manolete, who was praised by Hemingway. This is no rough-and-tumble bar, but a cultured space often attracting Madrid society. It reaches the peak of its excitement during the San Isidro bullfighting festival, when Spain's top bullfighters often make appearances here in their full death-in-the-afternoon suits of light. Hours are daily 11am to midnight. In the Hotel Reina Victoria.
