MAD.NBHD· BARRIO
Barrio de las Letras
Literary, lively, bohemian
The old literary quarter — Cervantes and Lope de Vega are both buried within a few streets of each other here — now filled with tapas bars, tucked-away plazas, and one of the liveliest nightlife strips in the city along Calle Huertas.

La Venencia
A sherry-only bar open since 1922, famously resistant to change — no photography, no soft drinks, chalk tallies scrawled directly on the wooden bar to track your tab. Order by sherry style; the bartenders will tell you if you're doing it wrong.
Café Central
A jewel-box Art Deco café that's been Madrid's premier jazz venue since 1982 — DownBeat magazine has ranked it among the best jazz clubs on earth. Intimate enough that even the back tables feel close to the stage.
