ARGUABLY THE MOST DISGUSTING BAR IN MADRID.
I don't enjoy writing negative reviews, but I also think there's a civic duty to warn others. So here we are.
1. Food
If this place has a specialty, it's convincing seafood cadavers to linger well beyond what seems advisable. Everything arrived spectacularly overcooked and enthusiastically salted--as if seasoning alone could rewrite history. My advice: if the waiters are unusually determined to persuade you to order the seafood, politely resist. Your stomach may thank you.
2. Service
The staff seem to believe that unsolicited sexist and homophobic remarks are part of the dining experience. Add to that an impressive willingness to berate customers and push the most expensive items on the menu, and you've got hospitality reimagined as endurance theatre.
3. The space
A curious blend of stale odors, sticky surfaces, and restrooms that appear to have entered a long-term preservation program sometime around the pandemic. "Rustic" has rarely been interpreted so literally.
Overall, if this establishment disappeared tomorrow, I suspect the local culinary ecosystem--and perhaps humanity--would adjust remarkably well. read more
