Guide: Central Drinks With a Reason

Across Sol and Gran Via, a night out can mean a 19th-century tavern, a rooftop above the old center, a singalong piano room, or a serious cocktail bar. Choose by format: the tavern starts early with cod and beer, while the piano bar is built for a late, participatory crowd.

  • Casa LabraCasa Labra is a centenary tavern near Puerta del Sol, famous for cod and cod croquettes served in a room that still feels close to its 19th-century bar roots.
  • The Madrid EDITION RoofThe Madrid EDITION Roof means Oroya's terrace above Plaza de Celenque, with Peruvian-leaning drinks, greenery, and rooftop views over the old center.
  • Toni 2 Piano BarToni 2 Piano Bar is the Gran Via singalong institution where the room, piano, and crowd participation matter more than cocktail seriousness.
  • JosealfredoJosealfredo is the central cocktail room for a quieter, more deliberate drink around Gran Via and Malasana.
